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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid heat response for high-temperature stir-frying and Asian-style cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 40.5cm cooking area suitable for approximately 6–8 servings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-seasoned carbon steel reduces preparation time before first use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat base provides compatibility with gas, electric\/smooth-surface and induction hobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo handles offer improved handling during cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: School of Wok\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooking surface: Pre-seasoned carbon steel; no separate non-stick coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Round wok with flat base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 40.5cm \/ 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: Approximately 5 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServing capacity: 6–8 servings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles: Bamboo main handle and helper handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHob compatibility: Gas, smooth-surface\/electric and induction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOven safe: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher safe: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Hand wash only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetail packaging: Card sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWok diameter: 405mm \/ 40.5cm \/ 16 inches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall product dimensions: approximately 135 × 412 × 660mm, with the 660mm overall length including the handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct weight: approximately 2.08kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: approximately 5 litres \/ 6–8 servings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge group: Adult use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGender: Unisex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Care Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWok body: Carbon steel with factory pre-seasoning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles: Bamboo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaning: Hand wash only; do not use a dishwasher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrying: Dry thoroughly immediately after washing.
