A few good answers.
What is the carbon steel wok, 12" best for?
It is designed for stir-fries, fried rice and other everyday cooking where its shape and material are useful.
Will it become more nonstick?
A well-maintained patina can improve natural food release over time, but carbon steel is not a synthetic nonstick surface. Cooking technique and seasoning still matter.
Does it work on induction and in the oven?
It works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction. It is stovetop only.
Can I really cook with it during the 45-day trial?
Cook with it in your own kitchen for 45 days from delivery. Seasoning and normal color changes are expected. If it is not right for you, start a return within the 45-day window; return shipping is on us.
How do I clean it without ruining the seasoning?
Hand wash gently, dry immediately and completely, then wipe on a very thin layer of oil. Do not soak it or put it in the dishwasher.
Thoughtful cookware, designed in Belgium since 1949.
