Yoshikawa Cook-Pal Ren Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok - 33cm (with Helper Handle)

Buy a Cook-Pal Ren and you are buying into a system. Yoshikawa makes the Ren in six wok sizes and three frypans, with matching stainless steel lids, steamer inserts and spare wooden handles — all cut to the same diameters, so a lid bought years after the pan still fits. This extra-large 33cm size adds a fixed helper handle opposite the long detachable one, for stable two-handed lifting when full.

The body is 1.6mm nitrided carbon steel made in the company's own Tsubame-Sanjo facilities — the high-temperature nitriding hardens the surface, resists rust, and gives seasoning an easy grip from the first use.

Key Features

• Premium Nitrided Carbon Steel: The steel undergoes a special nitriding heat treatment, creating a hardened, corrosion-resistant, and durable surface.
• Two-Handle Design: Features a long, removable wooden handle for tossing and a fixed helper handle for stable lifting and carrying.
• Dual Pouring Rims: Convenient pouring spouts on both sides of the wok allow for easy, drip-free pouring.
• Optional Stainless Steel Lid: Available as a set with the matching Cook-Pal 33cm lid.
• Matching Steamer Available: The 33cm Cook-Pal stainless steel steamer sits directly in the wok for dumplings and vegetables.
• Induction Compatible: The flat bottom ensures stability and makes this wok compatible with all cooktops, including 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 our carbon steel user guide.

A Note on Optional Lids: The optional Yoshikawa lid may not create a perfect seal due to the partially handmade nature of the wok. A slight gap on one side is normal.

About Yoshikawa

Yoshikawa manufactures in Tsubame-Sanjo and builds its cookware as systems rather than single items. The Cook-Pal Ren line runs from 24cm to 36cm, with lids, steamer inserts and spare handles engineered to the same diameters — a lid bought years after the pan still fits. Production is entirely in the company's own Japanese facilities.
