School of Wok by Dexam Carbon Steel Non-Stick Wok 405mm

The School of Wok by Dexam 405mm carbon steel wok is a flat-based, pre-seasoned wok designed for Asian-style cooking across a range of hob types. The flat base makes it compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs, which extends its usefulness beyond traditional round-bottomed wok setups. At this diameter, it is sized for batches of roughly six to eight servings, making it well suited to small prep runs or live cooking demonstrations rather than continuous high-volume service.

Carbon steel is the traditional material for wok cookery for practical reasons: it heats quickly, responds well to changes in heat, and develops a natural non-stick surface over time. This model arrives pre-seasoned, so it is ready to use without the initial seasoning process that can be a barrier for less experienced kitchen staff. The bamboo handle and helper handle are a sensible choice for a light-use environment, staying cool during cooking without the need for additional insulation.

• Pre-seasoned surface means no initial preparation before first use
• Flat base provides stability on induction and other modern hob types
• Carbon steel construction offers responsive heat control during cooking
• Bamboo handles remain cool and comfortable during service
• Suitable for batch cooking of six to eight portions per cook

It is worth being realistic about where this wok fits. At under 2kg it is a light piece of kit, and the bamboo handles are best suited to lighter-duty use rather than the sustained punishment of a high-throughput professional kitchen. For operators running wok dishes through continuous service, a heavier-gauge carbon steel model with a welded steel handle is likely to be more appropriate.

This wok is well suited to cookery schools, demonstration kitchens, hospitality training environments, and smaller operations where wok dishes feature occasionally on the menu rather than as a core volume item. If you are unsure whether this size and specification matches your service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
