The School of Wok 16-inch (40.5cm) Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Wok by Dexam is a spacious, high-temperature cooking wok designed for authentic Asian-style cooking at home. Its durable carbon steel construction heats rapidly and distributes heat effectively, making it well suited to stir-frying where high heat helps develop characteristic caramelised and smoky flavours.

The wok features a flat base, allowing it to be used on modern hob surfaces, including induction. Its generous 40.5cm diameter and approximately 5-litre capacity provide ample cooking space for family meals, entertaining and larger batches, with the manufacturer specifying capacity for approximately 6–8 servings. It can also be used for curries, stews and deep-frying.

The carbon steel cooking surface is pre-seasoned, so the initial seasoning process has already been completed before use. This makes the wok convenient to start cooking with while allowing the surface to develop further with continued use. Importantly, manufacturer specifications identify the product as not having a separate non-stick coating; its cooking performance and food-release characteristics come from the pre-seasoned carbon steel surface rather than a synthetic non-stick coating.

A bamboo main handle and helper handle are designed to remain cooler during cooking than the metal wok body, providing additional handling convenience. The product is manufactured in Taiwan and supplied with a card sleeve.

For maintenance, hand wash the wok and do not place it in a dishwasher. After washing, dry it thoroughly on the hob so that no moisture remains before storage. This is particularly important because exposed carbon steel can develop rust if stored while damp.
