Mammafong Round Bottom Wok

Yes, this carbon steel wok arrives with a protective coating that must be washed off, followed by a thorough seasoning process. Seasoning creates a natural non-stick patina that improves with every use.

This wok is compatible with electric coil and halogen stoves, though it will not sit flush against the burner like a flat-bottom pan. For the best stability and heat transfer on electric or induction ranges, you may want to use a wok ring.

Hand-hammering creates a unique surface texture that helps keep food from sticking while providing excellent heat conductivity. Carbon steel is preferred by professionals because it is lightweight, responsive to temperature changes, and extremely durable.

Yes, the matching cover is designed to trap heat and moisture, making it ideal for steaming vegetables, dumplings, or braising meats. It fits securely to help maintain a consistent internal temperature.

Always hand wash the wok with warm water and a soft sponge, avoiding harsh detergents or the dishwasher. After cleaning, dry it completely over low heat on the stove and apply a very light coating of oil before storing to prevent oxidation.
