This is a 356mm mild steel wok with a flat base, designed for professional kitchen use. Mild steel is the traditional material for woks in commercial settings — it conducts heat quickly, responds well to high-temperature cooking, and develops a natural seasoned surface with use that improves performance over time.

The flat base makes it practical on a wider range of cooking surfaces, including solid-top ranges and induction hobs, where a round-bottomed wok would be unstable without a support ring. It suits busy kitchens where speed and direct heat are priorities — stir-frying, tossing vegetables, searing proteins, or finishing dishes to order during a fast-paced service.

A few practical points worth knowing:

  • Mild steel requires seasoning before first use and regular maintenance to prevent rust
  • Not suitable for prolonged exposure to water or acidic ingredients without drying and re-oiling
  • Lighter build makes it easier to handle than cast iron alternatives
  • Flat base suits solid-top and induction cooking surfaces
  • 356mm diameter suits single-portion to small batch cooking

This size is well suited to smaller operations or sections where wok cooking is one of several methods in use, rather than a high-volume dedicated wok station. For kitchens running a wok station at serious throughput, a larger or heavier-gauge option may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and material suits your setup, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.

Frequently asked questions

Does this wok need seasoning before use?

Yes. Mild steel woks should be seasoned before first use by heating the pan, applying a thin layer of oil, and repeating the process several times. This builds a protective non-stick layer and helps prevent rust. It is a standard requirement for mild steel cookware and something most experienced wok cooks factor into their kitchen setup.

Is this wok suitable for induction hobs?

The flat base makes it compatible with induction hobs, unlike round-bottomed woks which require a support ring. That said, it is worth confirming your induction hob supports wok-style cookware, as some commercial induction units are optimised for flat-bottomed pans with a larger contact area.

Is 356mm the right size for a commercial wok station?

For a dedicated high-volume wok station serving multiple covers continuously, a larger diameter wok is often more practical. This 356mm size is better suited to kitchens where wok cooking is one technique among several, or where individual portion sizes are the norm — such as an à la carte section or a smaller operation. If you are setting up a wok station at volume, it is worth discussing your throughput requirements with us first.
