Pearl Life Nitrocraft Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm

Pearl Life textures the cooking face with fine micro-grooves — the fiber-line finish — so food rests on raised points while oil flows underneath. Seasoning takes hold faster, food releases sooner, and the surface keeps improving with every cook.

The body is 1.6mm carbon steel with a standard nitriding treatment — nitrogen infused into the iron surface to improve rust resistance and durability without synthetic coatings. At this thickness it heats quickly, responds well to temperature changes, and handles the high heat needed for stir-frying and searing.

What's Included

  • 1 x Pearl Life Nitrocraft Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm

Steam with it: add the Pearl Life Bamboo Steamer with the 30cm Adapter Ring, which seats bamboo steamers securely over this wok.

 

Key Features

  • Fiber-Line Cooking Surface: Fine micro-grooves support food on raised points so oil runs underneath, reducing sticking.
  • Nitrided Carbon Steel: Nitrogen is infused into the iron surface to improve rust resistance and surface hardness — no synthetic coatings.
  • 1.6mm Carbon Steel Body: Lighter and more heat-responsive than cast iron, and suited to high-heat stir-frying, searing, and deep frying.
  • All Cooktop Compatible: Suitable for induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops.

Seasoning & Care

Like all carbon steel cookware, this wok needs a quick season before first use to start building its natural nonstick patina — and the fiber-line surface builds it faster than a smooth pan. Full step-by-step instructions are in our carbon steel user guide.

About Pearl Life

Pearl Life is one of the largest kitchenware manufacturers in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, running several parallel iron cookware lines rather than a single flagship series. Nitrocraft is the nitrided line, finished with a fiber-line cooking surface for faster seasoning build-up.

Use & Care
  • Care guide: Our step-by-step guide and video for seasoning and care.
  • First use: A one-time 5-minute oil seasoning is all it takes.
  • After cooking: Wash with warm water while still warm, dry thoroughly over low heat, then wipe on a thin coat of oil.
  • Storage: Don't leave food sitting in the pan — it's a cooking tool, not a storage container.
  • Rust: Almost always a sign of too little oil. Scrub it off and re-season — the pan will recover.
  • Acidic foods: Tomatoes and vinegar are fine in short bursts — read our guide before simmering them.
Good to Know
  • Patina: Marks, stains and darkening with use are normal — the surface improves as you cook.
  • Nitrided vs non-nitrided: Nitriding strengthens the steel and resists rust — our buying guide explains the difference between brands.
  • Prefer no seasoning? Our nonstick guide covers the low-maintenance alternative.
  • Induction: Most of our carbon steel range is induction-compatible — check the specs on each product page.
