Pearl Life Hammered Style Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm
Pearl Life Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm
Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan's city of metalworking, this large 30cm wok is designed for superior performance and durability. Made from a standard 1.6mm gauge carbon steel, it offers excellent heat retention for consistent searing and stir-frying, perfect for family-sized meals. Its deep shape and stable flat base ensure great performance on all cooktops, including induction.
The wok's interior features a distinctive hammered (tsuchime) pattern that adds structural strength and helps food move freely. A special nitriding treatment makes the carbon steel more rust-resistant and durable, providing a fantastic foundation for building a naturally non-stick patina through seasoning. This is the perfect tool for authentic stir-frying and sautéing for the whole family.

Key Features
- Durable & Responsive (1.6mm thickness): The standard 1.6mm carbon steel construction provides excellent durability and heat retention, while still being more responsive to temperature changes than cast iron.
- Nitrided Carbon Steel: The wok undergoes a nitriding heat treatment, which hardens the surface, enhances durability, and increases rust resistance compared to standard carbon steel.
- Hammered (Tsuchime) Texture: The traditional hammered pattern strengthens the wok and creates a subtly uneven surface that improves food release as seasoning builds.
- Induction Compatible: The flat bottom ensures stability and makes this wok compatible with all cooktops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.
- Made in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan: Crafted in a region famous for producing some of the world's finest metal kitchenware.
Seasoning & Care
Like all carbon steel cookware, this wok requires seasoning to build up a natural, non-stick patina. Regular seasoning and proper care are essential for developing its non-stick properties and ensuring a lifetime of use. Please wash by hand and dry thoroughly over heat after each use to maintain the seasoning.
