• Durable carbon steel construction: Made from 1.2mm thick carbon steel for rapid heating and high-temperature stir-frying. The uncoated surface is designed to develop a seasoned cooking surface over time.

The School of Wok 10.5″/27cm Carbon Steel Wok is a compact flat-bottom wok designed for authentic Asian-style cooking at home. Developed in association with School of Wok and chef Jeremy Pang, it combines traditional carbon steel cookware with a practical flat base suited to modern kitchen hobs.

Constructed from 1.2mm thick carbon steel, the wok heats quickly and is designed for high-temperature cooking, making it suitable for stir-frying, searing and other cooking techniques where rapid heat response is important. The carbon steel surface is uncoated, allowing the wok to be seasoned before first use and progressively build a natural cooking surface through regular use.

The 27cm cooking diameter provides a practical size for smaller portions and is specified by the manufacturer as suitable for meals serving approximately one to two people. Its flat-bottomed construction includes a 14cm diameter cooking base, helping the wok sit securely on modern stovetops without requiring a wok ring.

A 14.5cm bamboo handle provides a comfortable grip and helps reduce heat transfer to the hand during cooking. The handle is detachable, allowing the wok to be placed in an oven when required for seasoning. A built-in loop hook also provides a convenient storage option for hanging the wok.

Before its first use, the uncoated carbon steel surface should be seasoned according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Proper seasoning helps develop the characteristic darkened cooking surface associated with carbon steel cookware and improves food release. The wok should be hand washed rather than placed in a dishwasher, then thoroughly dried to help prevent rust.

The School of Wok Carbon Steel Wok is particularly suited to home cooks looking for a lightweight, responsive wok for stir-fries, vegetables, noodles, meat, seafood and other high-heat Asian-inspired dishes.
