xProfessional-grade wok designed for high-heat stir-frying
The Craft Wok Big 16 Inch brings a substantial, purpose-built pan to the home kitchen. Crafted from 15 gauge carbon steel, this wok is engineered for rapid heat response and bold sears, helping you achieve vibrant color and aroma in quick tosses and batches.
Authentic craftsmanship and robust materials
Each wok is hand hammered by Chinese professionals in Guangzhou, yielding a textured surface that develops patina over time and supports steady heat retention. The round bottom concentrates heat for fast, dynamic tossing and even browning across ingredients.
- 15 gauge (1.8 mm) carbon steel for durability and responsive heating

Thoughtful design for busy cooks
The pan combines a wooden handle with a steel helper handle. The steel helper handle stays cooler during high heat, giving you a secure, controlled grip when you stir and flip ingredients aggressively.
- Wooden long handle for comfort and control
- Steel helper handle reduces burn risk during vigorous tossing
- Seasoning guidance recommended before first use to build a protective patina
Real-world use and versatility
Traditionally used for quick, high-heat wok cooking, this pan is well suited for vegetables, proteins, and noodle dishes. The generous 16-inch diameter supports larger batches while maintaining fast heat response for lively, sizzling results.
Care and conditioning
Season before first use to encourage a natural nonstick patina. After cooking, clean gently, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coating of oil to maintain patina and prevent rust. With attentive care, the wok becomes easier to season and season-friendly over time.
