Helen's Asian Kitchen 8-inch Carbon Steel Wok is perfectly sized to create single-serving recipes and reheat smaller portions. It's versatile for stir frying, stewing, sauteing, steaming, braising, and frying favorite Asian recipes, and more. Crafted from a sturdy 1.4-millimeter carbon steel, it distributes heat quickly so foods cook evenly. The cooking surface collects a natural patina over time to create that coveted non-stick cooking performance. The natural rubberwood handle is heat-resistant for comfortable use. Its sturdy riveted and flat-bottom design sits securely on any stovetop and works equally well with gas, electric, and induction.
