Tsubame Sanjo Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 30cm

As seen with Adam Liaw. The body is hand-hammered to stiffen it against warping, the wooden handle unscrews for storage, and a printed English user guide comes in the box — the only wok in our range that includes one.

The 1.6mm steel carries a nitriding treatment that hardens the surface and resists rust, so it seasons readily from the first use. Made in Tsubame-Sanjo, and suited to stir-frying, searing, and steaming on all cooktops, including induction.

What's Included

  • 1 x Tsubame Sanjo Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 30cm
  • 1 x English User Guide

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

 

Key Features

  • English User Guide Included: Printed seasoning and care instructions supplied in the box.
  • Hand-Hammered Finish: The hammered texture stiffens the body and helps it resist warping under high heat.
  • Nitrided for Rust Resistance: The steel is heat-treated with nitrogen for added hardness and rust resistance.
  • Detachable Handle: The wooden handle can be removed for compact storage.
  • Induction Compatible: Suitable for all cooktops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.

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 the included English user guide and our carbon steel user guide.

About Tsubame-Sanjo

Tsubame-Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture has been a metalworking centre since the 17th century, and today supplies much of Japan's steel cookware and cutlery. Hammering by hand is one of the region's older techniques, used here to stiffen a thin pressed body rather than for decoration.

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.
