Kenmore Hammond 14-Inch Flat-Bottom Carbon Steel Wok – Black Pre-Seasoned Stir-Fry Pan with Wood Handle for Gas, Electric & Induction Stovetops
Bring takeout-style stir-fry home with the Kenmore Hammond 14-Inch Carbon Steel Wok – a true high-carbon steel wok designed to deliver the legendary sear, smoky "wok hei" flavor, and rapid stir-fry action that home cooks have admired in restaurant kitchens for decades. The flat-bottom design keeps the wok stable on modern flat-top ranges (gas, electric coil, ceramic, and induction), while the natural wood side handle stays cool to the touch during high-heat cooking.
Key Features
- Authentic Carbon Steel Construction – the traditional material of pro Chinese kitchens; heats faster and gets hotter than nonstick or stainless
- Flat-Bottom Design – sits flat on flat-top ranges including gas, electric coil, glass-ceramic, and induction
- 14-Inch Diameter – generous family-size cooking surface for stir-fries, fried rice, kung pao chicken, lo mein, and more
- Pre-Seasoned Surface – ready to use after a quick rinse-and-oil; develops a natural non-stick patina with regular use
- Wood Side Handle – natural wood stays cool and provides a confident grip for tossing ingredients
- Helper Loop Handle – opposite-side metal loop for two-handed lifts and pours
- Sloped Sidewalls – classic wok geometry pushes cooked food up and away while a fresh ingredient sears at the bottom
- Lightweight vs. Cast Iron – easy to lift and toss for proper stir-fry technique, unlike heavy cast iron

Seasoning & Care
For best non-stick performance: rinse the wok with hot water, dry it over the burner, then rub a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil (canola, peanut, grapeseed) over the entire interior. Heat until the oil smokes lightly, wipe with a paper towel, and repeat 2-3 times for the initial seasoning. After each use, rinse with hot water (no soap), dry over heat, and apply a light coat of oil. With regular use, your wok will develop a glossy black patina that becomes increasingly non-stick.
