Whether you are preparing stir-fried vegetables, noodles, rice, or meat dishes, the Ken Hom Carbon Steel Wok offers excellent control and responsiveness to heat, allowing you to achieve perfect results every time. The wok features a durable two-layer non-stick coating that ensures easy food release and simple cleaning. The coating is completely PFAs and PFOA free, meaning it is safe for everyday use and does not release harmful chemicals when heated. To maintain the quality of the non-stick surface, it is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils, as metal utensils may scratch or damage the coating. Maintenance of this wok is simple. After cooking, it can be cleaned easily by hand using warm water and mild detergent if needed. For stubborn food residue, allow the wok to soak briefly before washing. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh scouring agents, as these can damage the coating. Once clean, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent rusting. Occasionally applying a thin layer of cooking oil to the interior surface can help protect the coating and maintain its performance. The long wooden handle has been designed to offer both comfort and balance. It remains cool during cooking, providing a secure grip for safe handling even at high temperatures. The handle is firmly attached to the wok using two strong rivets, ensuring long-lasting stability and preventing any looseness over time. Finished with a clear lacquer, the handle retains a classic appearance and is easy to wipe clean after use. The handle also includes a convenient metal loop for easy hanging storage, allowing you to keep your wok within reach while saving space in your kitchen.
