• NATURALLY NONSTICK: the smooth interior gets better and slicker as it absorbs the oils after multiple sessions of high-heat cooking. it builds a patina from naturally seasoning by itself to develop a nonstick property that will improve the wok's perfomance over time.
• THE CHOICE OF ALL HOME CHEFS: carbon steel is the ideal material to use for a wok because it is a good conductor of heat. in stir-frying, where speed and flavor are key, carbon steel responds to and distributes heat quickly to the different zones of the wok to enable the dynamic nature of masterful wok cooking.
• BUILT FOR HIGH-HEAT COOKING: the flat base provides stability and maximum exposure to the heat source. the heat then travels to the sloped sides of the wok to incorporate it with the steam and cool air when tossing food.
