## Overview

The Joyce Chen J21-9978 is a 14-inch carbon steel wok crafted for high-heat cooking with a durable 5mm thick body and natural birch wood handles. Compatible with gas, electric, and induction stovetops, it offers a lightweight yet strong alternative to cast iron. Designed for professional-level stir-frying, it requires seasoning to build a natural nonstick patina, making it a versatile and long-lasting kitchen essential.

## Description

Turn the burner all the way up. This carbon steel wok was made to handle high heat. This means that you can get that perfect Maillard reaction (aka browning) on sliced meats without overcooking. Stronger than cast iron, it’s also lighter and therefore more nimble, tossing veggies and rice with ease. At 14 inches, this large carbon steel wok can serve up a very generous meal. All this wok asks in return is that you season its uncoated surface regularly, and it will reward you with a deep and beautiful patina.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by S***E on 15 February 2024*



### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente. No olviden leer instrucciones de curado.
*by A***A on 4 July 2018*

Buenísimo wok de acero al carbono (ligero y resistente). Es el material más tradicional y el mejor para este tipo de herramientas porque te permite saltear el stir fry como es debido. Lo recomiendo muy por encima de los de hierro fundido (a menos que tengas brazos de Terminator). ***Les recomiendo mucho leer las instrucciones incluídas para obtener un curado adecuado. NO SE BRINQUEN EL PASO DE TALLAR CON FUERZA TODO EL WOK ANTES DE CURARLO. Trae una laca protectora para evitar que se oxide y debe ser removida *antes* del curado***
