Every time you cook, the seasoning deepens, and after a few months you have a genuinely non-stick surface that no coating can match and no dishwasher can strip - because you will never put it in one. At 1.5 mm it heats fast enough for real stir-frying, and the wood handle unscrews so the whole pan can go into a hot oven to season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.5 mm carbon steel.\u003c\/strong\u003e The right gauge for a wok - heavy enough to hold heat, light enough to toss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInduction compatible.\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon steel is ferromagnetic.
