Yoshikawa Cook-Pal Ren Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Wok with Two Short Handles - 33cm

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 33cm size is the Guangdong style: two short, symmetrical steel handles in place of the long one, so it lifts balanced with both hands and fits where a long-handled wok will not — 42.3cm across against 55cm for the helper-handle version of the same bowl.

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.
• Guangdong-Style Two-Handle Design: Features two short, symmetrical steel handles for secure, balanced lifting and easy transfer from the stove.
• Dual Pouring Rims: Convenient pouring spouts on both sides of the wok allow for easy, drip-free pouring of sauces and liquids.
• Induction Compatible: The flat bottom ensures stability and makes this wok compatible with all cooktops, including gas, electric, 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 our carbon steel user guide.

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.
