Ken Hom Classic Non-stick Carbon Steel Wok, 35cm
This 31cm wok makes stir-frying quick and easy. Stir-fry cooking is all about being quick, easy and healthy and this wok has been designed to assist with achieving that. Made from 1.4mm gauge (thickness) carbon steel it offers great heat conduction making it ideal for high heat, high speed cooking whilst ensuring the temperature remains consistent throughout.
The non-stick coating has been applied inside and out to provide a robust seal for long-lasting endurance making it the perfect piece of kitchen equipment for everyday use. To help prolong the integrity of the non-stick coating it is recommended to use wooden, silicone or nylon utensils rather than metal which can scratch. Occasionally apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the inner surface of the wok to prevent rusting should the coating become scratched.
Lightweight and featuring a flat bottom ensures it is easy to use and fits perfectly on most hobs whether gas, electric or ceramic. The long wooden handle ensures it is easy to carry and perfectly balanced so won't topple over.
The wooden handle has been crafted to ensure it is functional as well as traditionally stylish. Finished with a clear lacquer it is easy to clean and easy to carry even when full of delicious food. The handle is secured tightly to the wok with two rivets so you can be assured it won't become loose and wobbly over time. The large metal loop on the end allows for easy storage as you can simply hang up your wok when not in use.
The wok size is an ideal capacity for cooking up a tasty meal for 3 - 4 people.
To start cooking, place the wok centrally on your hob ring and heat up gently with cooking oil. Once the oil is smoking hot add your chosen ingredients and start cooking. The non-stick coating means you don't need to tun the hob up to full heat. As long as you keep stirring and the food is sizzling it will cook quickly and evenly.
Not suitable for the dishwasher. The non-stick coating means it is easy to clean by hand with hot water. To clean, handwash with hot water and mild deterrgent if desired. Do not use scouring powder, abrasives or metal scourers as they may damage the non-stick coating. Any stubborn food can be left to soak for a few minutes. Thoroughly dry with a clean cloth.
