SUMEIGUAN 13.5″ Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok with Lid and Spatula

Description

Nitriding makes this wok considerably more rust-resistant than untreated carbon steel, which matters more for a wok than for a skillet — woks get washed more often, and the deep shape holds water in the base where you cannot see it.

At 6.4 quarts with a 4.3-inch depth, this has the volume for genuine tossing rather than stirring. Depth is what separates a wok from a large frying pan; a shallow wok simply throws food onto your cooktop.

The 6.7-inch flat base is a reasonable compromise — wide enough for stable contact on an induction hob, narrow enough to preserve some of the temperature gradient up the sloping sides that wok cooking depends on.

Best for: a complete starting setup, since the lid and spatula are included.
