Pearl Life Nitrocraft Carbon Steel Induction Wok

Bring authentic Japanese cooking into your kitchen with the Pearl Life Nitrocraft Carbon Steel Induction Wok. Expertly made in Japan from premium 1.6mm carbon steel, this wok is designed for fast, responsive heating and exceptional durability. Unlike conventional nitrided carbon steel cookware, the Nitrocraft range features Pearl Life's exclusive Fiber-Line cooking surface—a fine micro-grooved texture that spreads oil more evenly, helps reduce sticking, and accelerates the development of a natural non-stick patina with every use.

The wok is surface-treated using a nitriding process that infuses nitrogen into the carbon steel, improving hardness and corrosion resistance without applying synthetic non-stick coatings. As it is seasoned over time, the cooking surface becomes increasingly non-stick, making it ideal for everyday use.

Available in multiple sizes, the wok features a comfortable wooden handle that provides excellent control while cooking. The larger 33cm model also includes a stainless steel helper handle for added stability when lifting heavier meals.

Features:

• Exclusive Fiber-Line Surface
  A fine micro-grooved cooking surface distributes oil evenly, helping reduce sticking while encouraging a smoother, faster-building seasoning layer.
• Nitrided Carbon Steel
  Nitrogen-infused surface increases rust resistance and durability without PTFE, PFOA, or any synthetic non-stick coating.
• 1.6mm Carbon Steel Construction
  Heats quickly, responds rapidly to temperature changes, and delivers the high heat needed for authentic stir-frying.
• Naturally Non-Stick Over Time
  Develops a durable, naturally non-stick patina through regular seasoning and cooking.
• Comfortable Handle Design
  Each wok features a sturdy wooden handle for a secure, comfortable grip. The 33cm model also includes a stainless steel helper handle for additional support when lifting larger quantities of food.
• Suitable for All Cooktops
  Compatible with induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops.
• Made in Japan
  Manufactured in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan's renowned centre for premium metalworking and cookware craftsmanship.
