Handmade Cast Iron Wok 14.2 for All Cooktops

Handcrafted by artisans in Jiangsu Province, China, the Wangyuanji cast iron wok boasts a rich heritage of over 400 years. Each wok undergoes a meticulous 63-step crafting process, resulting in a flawlessly made product. Wangyuanji has preserved the pan-making skills and ancient craftsmanship that have withstood the test of time, allowing their woks to remain competitive in the modern market.

Before cooking with the wok, it is essential to undergo an "oil nourishing" program to form a protective oil film. This film not only enhances the wok's non-stick properties but also contributes to its longevity. During transportation, the wok's surface is safeguarded by two layers of protective films: a vegetable oil film and a black oxide film.

The "pre-seasoning" process involves using cooking oil to coat the interior of the wok, allowing the oil to gradually penetrate and season the surface. This step is crucial in developing the wok's non-stick abilities and imparting flavor to the cooking.

Every SUGUO wok is meticulously crafted through 37 different handcrafting processes, with ancient master artisans passing down their invaluable knowledge and skills to successive generations. The unique texture of each wok is a result of the clay casting mold and pinewood smoking ash used in its creation. This "turtle shell texture" not only contributes to the wok's long-lasting non-stick properties but also serves as a symbol of family gathering and prosperity.

The flat-bottom design of the Wangyuanji wok allows it to be used on various cooktops, including gas, electric, induction, oven, broiler, grill, campfire, and fire pit. This versatility ensures that you can enjoy a wide range of culinary experiences, from roasted vegetables to stir-fries and seafood.

It is essential to properly care for the cast iron wok. Avoid the dishwasher and oven, and never place hot cast iron into cold water, as this can damage the wok. Instead, hand-wash the wok with warm water and dry it with a paper towel. With proper care, the Wangyuanji cast iron wok can provide years of reliable and flavorful cooking.
