Helen's Asian Kitchen Wok - 12" Round Bottom (Carbon Steel)

Helen's Asian Kitchen Round Bottom Carbon Steel Wok Set is the perfect addition to cookware for stir frying, stewing, sauteing, steaming, braising, frying, and deep frying favorite Asian recipes and so much more. Crafted from a sturdy 1.4-millimeter carbon steel, it distributes heat quickly so foods cook evenly. The cooking surface collects a natural patina over time to create that coveted non-stick cooking performance. The natural rubberwood handle is heat-resistant for comfortable use. Its sturdy riveted and round-bottom design sits securely inside the stabilizer ring for use on gas, electric, and induction stovetops. It also hangs for easy storage. Carbon steel is easily seasoned, reseasoned, and maintained to help prevent rust. Successive seasoning and regular use will gradually build a black patina, providing a smooth, stick-resistant surface, much like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. The more use the pan gets, the darker and more stick-resistant it becomes. It is completely normal for an unseasoned wok to develop rust. Rust will not harm or alter the performance of the wok in any way. Simply scour away the rusted areas and season as instructed. Before first-time use, clean thoroughly, then season to seal the surface and prevent rusting. Full use and care instructions are included along with recipes and a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects in workmanship. Round Bottom Wok is made from 1.4-millimeter carbon steel with a sturdy riveted design and heat-resistant rubberwood handle that hangs for easy storage. Includes 12-inch wok, cast aluminum stabilizer wok ring, recipe booklet, and 13-inch bamboo spatula. Hand wash. 12" Round Wok, 12" ring, 13" bamboo spatula
