Pearl Life Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm
Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan's renowned city of metalworking, this large 30cm wok is designed for superior performance and durability. Made from 1.6mm carbon steel, it offers excellent heat retention for consistent searing and stir-frying, making it perfect for family-sized meals. Its deep shape and stable flat base ensure reliable performance on all cooktops, including induction.
The wok's interior features a distinctive hammered (tsuchime) pattern that enhances structural strength and helps food move more freely during cooking. A special nitriding treatment increases the steel’s durability and rust resistance, providing an excellent base for building a naturally non-stick patina through seasoning.

Key Features
- Durable & Responsive (1.6mm Thickness): The 1.6mm carbon steel construction provides excellent durability and heat retention, while remaining more responsive to temperature changes than cast iron.
- Nitrided Carbon Steel: The wok undergoes a nitriding heat treatment that hardens the surface, enhances durability, and improves rust resistance compared to standard carbon steel.
- Hammered (Tsuchime) Texture: The traditional hammered pattern strengthens the wok and creates a subtly uneven surface that helps improve food release as seasoning develops.
- Induction Compatible: The flat bottom provides stability and allows the wok to work on all cooktops including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, 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 a natural non-stick patina. Regular seasoning and proper care will enhance cooking performance and ensure the wok lasts for many years. Please wash by hand and dry thoroughly over heat after each use to maintain the seasoning.
