The School of Wok 14″/36cm Heavy Duty Carbon Steel Wok is a large, flat-bottom wok designed for high-temperature Asian cooking and everyday family meals. Developed by School of Wok with chef Jeremy Pang, it combines traditional carbon-steel wok cooking with a flat base suitable for modern stovetops.

The heavy-duty carbon steel body heats rapidly and is designed to withstand high cooking temperatures, making it well suited to stir-frying, searing and creating the smoky, caramelised flavours associated with wok hei. Its generous 36cm diameter provides ample cooking space for meals serving approximately 4–6 people.

Unlike a conventional factory-coated non-stick pan, this wok has no synthetic non-stick coating. The carbon-steel surface is seasoned and can develop increasingly useful natural non-stick characteristics through correct seasoning and regular use. Seasoning also helps protect the steel from moisture and corrosion.

The flat-bottom construction makes the wok suitable for modern cooking surfaces, including gas and smooth-surface induction hobs. The substantial carbon-steel construction provides stability and is designed to handle the high heat required for authentic wok cooking.

A bamboo handle provides a comfortable grip and helps minimise heat transfer to the handle during cooking. A secondary handle assists with lifting and manoeuvring the approximately 1.9kg wok.

The wok is versatile enough for much more than stir-fries. It can be used for deep-frying, curries, stews, searing and other high-heat cooking applications. The seasoned carbon-steel surface requires appropriate care: hand wash only, dry thoroughly immediately after washing, and heat briefly on the hob if necessary to remove residual moisture before storage.

For best results and long service life, follow the manufacturer’s seasoning instructions before first use and maintain the seasoned surface through regular use and appropriate care.
