Cookware Flat bottom, wooden helper handle, ready to season A 14-inch carbon steel wok built for a domestic hob rather than a restaurant jet burner. The flat base means it actually makes contact with your heat. Flat base for home hobs A round-bottom wok on a domestic burner heats a coin-sized spot. This one heats the whole floor. Thin and responsive 1.8 mm carbon steel: hot in ninety seconds, and it cools the instant you pull it off. Helper handle The second handle is wood, so you can lift a full wok without a cloth. Seasons dark and slick Stir-fries release cleanly once the patina builds, usually within a week. 01 — The base Why flat beats round at home Round bottoms are made for a ring burner that wraps flame up the sides. On a flat hob they touch in one place and everything steams. Flat base, full contact, real wok hei. 02 — The gauge Thin on purpose A heavy wok cannot be tossed and takes too long to recover. 1.8 mm is the sweet spot between holding heat and responding to it. 03 — The seasoning Blue, then brown, then black Carbon steel changes colour as it seasons. Blotchy at first is normal — keep cooking and it evens out into a dark, slick surface.
