London Wok Flat Base Carbon Steel Wok
£18.70(£22.44 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The London Wok flat base wok is a traditional single-handled carbon steel wok built for professional kitchen use on commercial gas and electric ranges. The flat base makes it stable on gas and solid-top hobs, giving it broader suitability than a round-base wok, which typically needs a purpose-built wok burner or cradle to sit securely. It comes in two diameters, 305mm and 330mm, so you can match the pan to your portion size and service.
Carbon and mild steel woks are the preferred choice in most professional kitchens because they heat rapidly, respond well to temperature changes and develop a natural non-stick seasoning over time. Unlike coated or cast iron alternatives, a well-maintained steel wok improves with use rather than wearing out.
The long single handle lets the chef work the pan with one hand, tossing, turning and holding steady at the hob, while keeping the other hand free. This matters at pace during service.
- Rapid heat response suited to high-temperature stir frying
- Flat base stable on gas burners and solid-top hobs
- Develops a natural seasoning that improves with regular use
- Suitable for stir frying, shallow frying, deep frying and steaming with a rack or basket
- Lightweight enough for one-handed use during active cooking
Choosing a size
- 305mm: a practical working size for single-portion a la carte service and general savoury cooking.
- 330mm: a mid-range size, large enough for a substantial stir fry portion while staying manageable during continuous service.
Carbon steel needs seasoning before first use and ongoing care to prevent rust. It is not a low-maintenance non-stick pan, and it should not be left wet after service or cleaned in a commercial dishwasher. For high-volume sites or kitchens running several wok stations, a larger diameter or heavier gauge pan may suit better. If you are unsure which size or hob pairing suits your setup, call the team on 01304 827272.
Frequently asked questions
Is this wok suitable for a standard commercial gas hob?
Yes. The flat base sits stably on standard commercial gas burners and solid-top hobs without a cradle or wok ring. If you use a dedicated high-output wok burner, a round-base wok may suit that setup better.
Does a carbon steel wok need seasoning before use?
Yes. Carbon steel woks should be seasoned before first use to build a protective, non-stick layer and prevent rust. Heat the pan with a thin coat of oil until it polymerises. With regular use and correct care, the seasoning improves over time.
Which size should I choose, 305mm or 330mm?
The 305mm wok suits single-portion a la carte cooking and general savoury work. The 330mm gives more room for a larger stir fry portion while staying manageable in continuous service. For larger batches or a high-volume wok station, a larger diameter pan may serve better, so call us if you are unsure.
Does a carbon steel wok need special care?
Yes. Do not leave it wet after service or clean it in a commercial dishwasher, and avoid abrasive detergents that strip the seasoning. It suits kitchens where staff are trained in wok care.
