NuWave Induction Wok

No, this is a dedicated induction hot wok system. The wok is designed specifically for the included induction base and will not function on a standard gas or electric stovetop.

Yes, because the wok is made of carbon steel without a nonstick coating, you will need to season it before your first use and maintain it regularly to build up a natural, nonstick patina.

The unit features 94 distinct temperature settings, adjustable in 5°F increments between 100°F and 575°F. This allows for the specific heat control needed for delicate simmering or high-heat searing.

No, the carbon steel wok is not dishwasher safe. To prevent rust and preserve the seasoning, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after use.

Wok Hei, or 'breath of the wok,' refers to the complex, smoky flavor imparted to food when stir-fried at very high temperatures. This system's induction technology provides the rapid, intense heat necessary to achieve this effect at home.

The wok does not feature cool-touch handles, so they will get hot during cooking. You should always use oven mitts or a towel when handling the wok while it is in use.
