{"product_id":"london-wok-flat-base-carbon-steel-wok","title":"London Wok Flat Base Carbon Steel Wok","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid heat response suited to high-temperature stir frying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat base stable on gas burners and solid-top hobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops a natural seasoning that improves with regular use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for stir frying, shallow frying, deep frying and steaming with a rack or basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight enough for one-handed use during active cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e305mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e a practical working size for single-portion a la carte service and general savoury cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e330mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e a mid-range size, large enough for a substantial stir fry portion while staying manageable during continuous service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbon 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.
