Babish Carbon Steel Flat Bottom Wok and Stir Fry Pan, 14-Inch

Unleash your culinary prowess with the Babish 14-inch Carbon-Steel Wok, a versatile kitchen essential perfect for stir-frying. This heavy-gauge carbon steel pan distributes heat evenly, allowing for efficient and consistent cooking. Its high, sloping sides contain the majority of splatter, using less oil than a traditional skillet.

The riveted wooden handles provide both strength and insulation, keeping them cool to the touch for easy transportation from stovetop to table. Designed to efficiently absorb oil, the wok develops a naturally nonstick surface, making food release and cleanup a breeze. Suitable for use on a wide range of cooking surfaces, including gas, electric, ceramic, glass, and induction stoves, as well as the grill, this wok is a true kitchen workhorse.

To properly season and care for your carbon steel wok, follow these step-by-step instructions:

STOVE METHOD: 1. Wash the pan with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a towel. Then, place the pan on the stovetop and heat it to ensure it is completely dried. 2. Once the pan is dry, use your oil of choice and a paper towel to apply a thin layer around the interior and exterior of the pan. You can also continue rubbing the pan with a hand towel to ensure the oil is evenly distributed. 3. Place the pan back on the stovetop and heat it until it starts to smoke. Be sure to also heat the sides of the pan over the flame to ensure the entire surface area is heated. 4. Once the pan is smoking, turn off the heat and allow it to cool quickly.

OVEN METHOD: 1. Remove the wooden handle by unscrewing the large eyelet at the base in a counterclockwise direction, and then pulling the handle towards you. 2. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven. 3. Preheat your oven to 475°F to 500°F. 4. While the oven is preheating, wash the pan with warm, soapy water, dry it thoroughly, and then place it on the stovetop to ensure it is completely dried. 5. Once the pan is dry, use your oil of choice and a paper towel to apply a thin layer around the interior and exterior of the pan. You can also continue rubbing the pan with a hand towel to ensure the oil is evenly distributed. 6. Place the pan, upside down, on the rack above the foil-lined baking sheet in the preheated oven. 7. Let the pan remain in the oven for one hour. After an hour, turn off the oven but leave the pan inside until it is cool to the touch.

For optimal care, hand-wash your Babish 14-inch Carbon-Steel Wok and apply a light layer of oil after each use. Explore the full Babish Brand Store collection for more kitchen essentials to elevate your cooking experience.
