Wahei Freiz Enzo Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 30cm

Most woks are pressed to one thickness. Wahei Freiz instead grades the body — thick at the base where the heat lives, tapering towards the rim where weight serves no purpose — then hammers the interior to stiffen what remains. It holds heat like a heavier pan and swings like a lighter one.

The beech handle is wrapped in stainless steel and riveted to the body, so it does not detach for storage. The 17.7cm base is one of the widest of the 30cm woks we stock, giving full contact on an induction coil. Available as a standalone wok or as a set with the Happycall Self-Standing Tempered Glass Lid - 30cm.

Key Features

• Graduated Body Thickness: Thicker at the base for heat retention, tapering towards the rim to reduce weight.
• Hammered (Tsuchime) Interior: The hammered pattern stiffens the body against warping and helps food move freely.
• Chemical-Free Cooking Surface: No synthetic coatings — a natural nonstick patina develops through oil seasoning.
• Wide 17.7cm Base: One of the widest bases of the 30cm woks in our range, for full induction coil contact.
• Reinforced Beech Handle: Natural beech wrapped in stainless steel and riveted — fixed, not detachable.
• Optional Glass Lid: Available as a set with the Happycall self-standing tempered glass lid, which stands upright on the bench when lifted off.

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 Wahei Freiz

Wahei Freiz develops the Enzo range with craftsmen in Tsubame-Sanjo, working to a brief of keeping iron cookware light enough to handle one-handed. The graduated body and hammered finish both come out of that brief — metal removed where it is not needed, and the remaining steel stiffened by the hammering.
