Pearl Life Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 26cm
Pearl Life Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 26cm
The Pearl Life Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok is a 26cm cooking vessel manufactured in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan. Constructed from a lightweight 1.2mm gauge carbon steel, this 0.74kg wok is designed for high responsiveness to temperature changes, making it suitable for fast-paced stir-frying. The flat-base design ensures stability and compatibility with all heat sources, including induction cooktops.
The interior surface features a traditional hammered (tsuchime) pattern that increases structural strength and assists with food release during cooking. The steel undergoes a nitriding heat treatment to harden the surface and enhance rust resistance, providing a durable foundation for developing a natural non-stick patina through seasoning.
