30cm Uncoated Carbon Steel Craft Wok

School of Wok · £45

An uncoated carbon steel wok with a flat base and a wooden handle.

Worth being NRY provisional

Hand hammered uncoated carbon steel with a beech handle, flat based so it works on a modern hob including induction, £45. Hammering is not decoration: it gives you ridges to park cooked food on while the next thing goes in the middle, which is how a wok is meant to be used. Uncoated, so nothing to wear out and no maximum temperature.

For
Someone learning to cook Chinese food properly on a flat hob.
Not for
Anyone unwilling to dry it on the heat after washing.

What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
