Yoshikawa Cook-Pal Ren Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok with Two Handles - 36cm
Yoshikawa Cook-Pal Ren Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 36cm (with Two Handles)
The 'Ren' series wok is crafted by Yoshikawa in the renowned Tsubame-Sanjo region of Japan. This extra-large 36cm pan undergoes a special high-temperature nitriding process, which creates an extremely hard, rust-resistant, and durable surface.

Seasoning & Care

- Dry the wok immediately after washing, preferably over heat, to prevent rust. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil before storing.
- Dishwasher Safe: No.

A Note on Optional Lids: The optional Yoshikawa lid may not create a perfect seal due to the partially handmade nature of the wok. A slight gap on one side is normal.
