JOYCE CHEN Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces

Both Wirecutter and Serious Eats have raved about this large carbon steel wok—and you’re about to as well. Perhaps you’ll be charmed by how nimble this flat bottom wok can be, its lightweight carbon steel making it easy to stir, flip, or shake food to perfection. Or maybe you’ll swoon over how much heat this pan can absorb, searing that perfect char onto veggies and meat without scorching. Either way, your love for this wok will grow stronger as it ages. Season before use by rinsing off all residue, wiping away moisture with a paper towel, putting it back on the stove and applying a thin layer of vegetable oil til warm and then removing the wok from heat and letting air-dry. Season it regularly and as you season it, its patina will deepen and darken in a beautiful way, eliminating any chance rust will set in. Also included in this set are a tidy nonstick steel lid, a handy bamboo wok spatula, and an inspiring recipe booklet for years of yummy meals.
