What sizes do Steel Woks come in?

They run 12, 14, and 16 inches, all from Omcan and NSF rated. Pick the smaller Steel Woks for quick single orders and the 16 inch for high-volume stir-frying.

Which metal is best for Steel Woks, black iron or stainless?

Black iron heats fast and builds a natural seasoning over time, while stainless resists rust and needs less upkeep. For classic high-heat stir-fry, the black iron Steel Woks give the best sear.

How does a welded joint differ on Steel Woks versus a nailed one?

A welded handle is smooth and sealed to the body, while a nailed joint is riveted on. Both hold up, but welded Steel Woks leave no gap where food can catch, which makes cleanup simpler.

Do these Steel Woks have one handle or two?

Both styles are here. The mandarin Steel Woks carry one long handle for tossing, while the 12 inch double-ear model has two side loops for lifting a heavy load with both hands.

Why choose Steel Woks over a flat fry pan for stir-fry?

The deep, sloped sides toss food fast and keep it moving over high heat. Steel Woks also pool sauce at the bottom, something flat Stainless Steel Fry Pans cannot do as well.

Are Steel Woks ready to use or do they need seasoning first?

The iron ones need seasoning before first use, much like Cast Iron Cookware. Stainless versions among these Steel Woks skip that step and cook right away.

Should I match Steel Woks to my burner or buy a wok ring?

Round-bottom Steel Woks need a wok ring or a wok range to sit steady on a flat burner. Size the ring to the wok, then pair it with Skimmers to lift food out fast.
