Wahei Freiz Enzo Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 32cm

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. This 32cm size is the larger of the two, with a 19cm base and 9.5cm-deep walls for bigger family batches, and at approximately 1.4kg it still handles far lighter than its size suggests.

The beech handle is wrapped in stainless steel and riveted to the body, so it does not detach for storage. The wide base gives full contact on an induction coil. Available as a standalone wok or as a set with the Happycall Self-Standing Tempered Glass Lid - 32cm.

What's Included

  • 1 x Wahei Freiz Enzo Hammered Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok - 32cm

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 19cm Base: Full contact on an induction coil and a stable footing on any cooktop.
  • 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.

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.
