Meet the CAROTE 12-Inch Carbon Steel Wok Pan

Designed for confident sizzle and versatile weeknight meals, the CAROTE wok blends responsive carbon steel with an upgraded nitriding process. This combination delivers a sturdy, quickly responsive pan that relies on a naturally developing nonstick surface as you season it. Expect even heating that helps you control searing, browning, and delicate tossing across a wide cooking surface.

Key benefits at a glance

• Pre-seasoned, ready to start: The wok undergoes a specialized nitriding process for strength, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. With regular seasoning, the surface becomes smoother and easier to release food.
• Lightweight, high-response design: Spin-formed carbon steel with a flat bottom supports quick temperature shifts and one-handed flipping, helping you manage high-heat stir-frying with confidence.
• No chemical coating: A natural patina develops through use, offering smoother release without synthetic coatings—while keeping flavor intact.
• All-stovetop compatibility: Works on gas, electric, induction, glass cooktops, grills, camp stoves, and open flames for indoor or outdoor cooking.
• Comfortable Sapele wood handle: Ergonomic, secure grip with a handy storage loop to keep your kitchen organized.
• High-arch lid with steam recirculation: Keeps heat and moisture in while preserving the original character of ingredients for crisp-tender results.

Real-life use cases

Imagine weeknight stir-fries that move from sizzling vegetables to tender proteins in a single pan. The wok’s flat bottom sits steadily on most stoves, making tossing and flipping feel effortless. Outdoor cooks can enjoy rapid heating on grills or camp stoves, while home chefs appreciate the wide surface for tossing and caramelizing with even heat across the pan.

With its durable, coating-free surface, you can experiment with sauces, spice blends, and quick braises without needing a new pan after your first few uses. The lid’s steam recirculation helps you lock in moisture while preserving aromatics, making both simple soups and more complex flavor builds approachable.

How to get the best from your wok

• Season regularly: apply a light oil, heat until shimmering, then cool—repeat to build a smooth, naturally nonstick patina.
• Preheat properly: heat on medium-high, add oil, and let it shimmer before adding ingredients for better searing.
• Cook in batches: crowding can drop temperature; shift ingredients around the pan to maintain even contact and quick movement.

Care tips

• Hand wash with mild soap and dry completely to prevent rust before storing.
• Store in a dry spot; use a light oil layer if storing for extended periods.
