Pearl Life Nitrocraft Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 33cm

The Pearl Life Nitrocraft Wok is a carbon steel wok with one specific feature that sets it apart from other nitrided iron woks on the market: the fiber-line surface. The inner cooking surface is finished with a fine micro-grooved texture that distributes oil evenly across the pan, reducing sticking and accelerating seasoning build-up with every cook. The more you use it, the better it performs.

The wok is made from 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. The 33cm format comes with both a long handle and a short helper handle for secure two-handed control when cooking larger volumes.

What's Included

Key Features

• Fiber-Line Surface: A fine micro-grooved texture on the inner cooking surface distributes oil evenly, reduces sticking, and builds seasoning faster with each use.
• Nitrided Carbon Steel: Nitrogen is infused into the iron surface to improve rust resistance and surface hardness — no synthetic coatings, no Teflon.
• 1.6mm Carbon Steel Body: Lighter and more heat-responsive than cast iron — heats quickly and handles high-heat stir-frying, searing, and deep frying with ease.
• Dual Handle Design: A long handle and a short helper handle provide secure two-handed control, particularly useful when cooking larger family-sized portions.
• Natural Nonstick Over Time: With regular use and seasoning, the fiber-line surface develops an increasingly effective natural nonstick patina.
• All Cooktop Compatible: Suitable for induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops.
• Made in Japan: Produced by Pearl Life in the Tsubame-Sanjo region, one of Japan's foremost metalworking centres.

Seasoning & Care

Like all carbon steel cookware, this wok requires seasoning to build up a natural, non-stick patina. For detailed instructions, please see our comprehensive user guide.

• Dry the wok immediately after washing, preferably over heat, to prevent rust. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil before storing.
• Avoid prolonged soaking or storing while wet.
