Joyce Chen Classic Series Stir Fry Pan

It comes pre-seasoned, so you can start cooking immediately. However, like all carbon steel, the non-stick properties will improve significantly as you continue to build up a patina through regular use.

Yes, the flat-bottom design is compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, glass, and ceramic.

The birch wood handle is designed to be removable. Simply detach it before placing the carbon steel pan in the oven, where it is safe to use at temperatures up to 600°F.
