Tanabe Kanagu Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 26cm
Tanabe Kanagu designed this wok as one object, not a pan with a handle attached. The octagonal walnut grip, the clean urethane finish, and the 18.3cm base — unusually wide for a 26cm wok — all belong to the same drawing, and it performs on induction precisely because it was drawn that way.
The body is 1.6mm nitrided steel — the heat treatment hardens the surface and makes it markedly more rust-resistant than untreated iron — and at approximately 910g it stays light enough to toss one-handed.
What's Included
- 1 x Tanabe Kanagu Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 26cm
Steam with it: add the Pearl Life Bamboo Steamer with the 28cm Adapter Ring, which seats bamboo steamers securely over this wok.
Key Features
- Octagonal Walnut Handle: The eight-sided walnut grip holds securely at any angle when tossing ingredients.
- Nitrided Carbon Steel: The nitriding heat treatment hardens the 1.6mm steel surface and improves rust resistance.
- Wide 18.3cm Base: Unusually wide for a 26cm wok, giving full induction coil coverage.
- Balanced Weight: At approx. 910g, heavy enough for heat retention yet light enough for one-handed tossing.
Seasoning & Care
Like all carbon steel cookware, this wok needs a quick season before first use to start building its natural nonstick patina — the nitrided surface makes this easier than on untreated iron. Full step-by-step instructions are in our carbon steel user guide.
About Tanabe Kanagu
Tanabe Kanagu works in Tsubame-Sanjo and is best known for copper — pancake and tamagoyaki pans used in professional kitchens. Its 'Watashi no Kodawari' iron range applies the same finishing to nitrided steel, with walnut handles and body joints treated separately from the cooking surface.
