Takumi Japan Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 24cm
Takumi Japan Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 24cm
Takumi is the only wok we stock that is not nitrided. The body is bare 1.8mm iron, pressed from 98.8% high-purity iron with a textured 'Magma Plate' surface that grips seasoning oil from the first use. This 24cm wok is the smallest in the range: its 16cm base is unusually broad for the size, giving a stable footing on induction, and at around 860g it is light enough to toss one-handed — sized for one to two serves.
Untreated iron rusts if left wet, so this wok has to be dried on the heat after every wash — a normal part of owning traditional carbon steel, and the trade for a thick body at the lowest price of any wok we stock.
What's Included
- 1 x Takumi Japan Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 24cm
Steam with it: a Pearl Life Bamboo Steamer (21cm) sits level over this wok with the 24cm Adapter Ring.
Key Features
- Magma Plate Carbon Steel: Made from 98.8% high-purity iron, the textured surface aids heat conduction and helps seasoning oil adhere.
- Traditional, Non-Nitrided Steel: Pure carbon steel without nitriding, which seasons deeply with traditional care.
- Dual Pouring Rims: Pouring spouts on both sides for right and left-handed users.
- Induction Compatible: The stable, flat base suits all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric.
- Made in Japan: Produced in Japan from Japanese steel.
Seasoning & Care
As a traditional carbon steel wok, it needs seasoning before first use to build its natural nonstick surface. Because this wok is not nitrided, it requires prompt and thorough drying after every wash to prevent rust — this is a normal characteristic of pure carbon steel and part of the traditional care process. Full step-by-step instructions are in our carbon steel user guide.
About Takumi Japan
Takumi Japan works in heat-treated 'Magma Plate' iron rather than nitrided steel. The textured surface is formed during heat treatment rather than applied afterwards, which is why it holds seasoning well and why the pans sit below nitrided equivalents on price.
