30cm Round Bottom Uncoated Carbon Steel Craft Wok

School of Wok · £45

A round-bottomed uncoated carbon steel wok with a wooden handle.

Nice, but provisional

The traditional round bottom, hand hammered, uncoated carbon steel, £45. It is the proper shape and it will be the best wok here on a gas ring with a wok burner. On any modern flat hob it needs a ring to stand in, sold separately, and a wok sitting in a ring is a wok sitting further from the heat.

For
Someone with a gas hob and a dedicated wok burner.
Not for
Any induction or ceramic hob, where the flat-based version is the one to buy.

What we checked

  • It needs a wok ring on modern hobs, which is sold separately. Harts of Stur
  • It is hand hammered carbon steel, cold worked in the traditional way. Harts of Stur

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.
