Tanabe Kanagu Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm
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 wide 18.5cm base all belong to the same drawing — and this 30cm size scales the design up for family cooking, at approximately 1.17kg still light enough to toss one-handed.
The body is 1.6mm nitrided steel — the heat treatment hardens the surface and makes it markedly more rust-resistant than untreated iron — and the flat base keeps it stable on induction as well as gas. Available as a standalone wok or as a set with the Kyoto Katsugu Multi-Size Lid.
What's Included
Wok Only Option:
- 1 x Tanabe Kanagu Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 30cm
Wok + Multi-Size Lid Option:
- 1 x Tanabe Kanagu Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 30cm
- 1 x Kyoto Katsugu Japanese Multi-Size Lid with Glass Window (24–30cm)
Steam with it: add the Pearl Life Bamboo Steamer with the 30cm Adapter Ring, which seats bamboo steamers securely over this wok.
Key Features
- Octagonal Walnut Handle: The eight-sided walnut grip, clear-coated in urethane, 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 18.5cm Base: Full induction coil coverage and a stable footing on any cooktop.
- Balanced Weight: At approx. 1.17kg, heavy enough for heat retention yet light enough for one-handed tossing.
- Optional Multi-Size Lid: Available as a set with the Kyoto Katsugu stainless steel lid, which fits 24–30cm pans and has a tempered glass window.
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.
