Wok: FAQ

How do I choose the right size wok for my stove?

Always check the diameter in centimeters rather than just guessing by the photos. A 32cm wok is ideal for couples, while 36cm is the standard for families; ensure flat-bottom models are selected for induction or electric hobs.

How can I verify if the wok is real carbon steel?

Look for descriptions specifying a thickness of 1.2mm to 2mm and check customer photos for the characteristic blue-grey tint of heat-treated steel. Authentic carbon steel should feel heavy for its size and will require seasoning.

What indicators suggest high manufacturing quality?

Prioritize woks with riveted or welded handles rather than screwed-on ones for better long-term stability. Look for 'one-piece forging' in the specs to ensure there are no weak points where the base meets the walls.

Will a large wok arrive damaged or warped?

Reputable sellers use custom-fit foam and reinforced boxes to protect the shape. If you are concerned about bulk, choose 'AliExpress Selection' items which utilize optimized logistics for fragile kitchenware.

Recommendations for buyers

  • Material Selection
    Carbon steel is the industry standard for its rapid heat response, while cast iron is preferred for superior heat retention during high-volume searing.
  • Handle Construction
    Opt for stay-cool wooden or silicone-wrapped handles if you cook at high temperatures to ensure safety without needing extra gloves.
  • Bottom Geometry
    Flat-bottom woks are essential for stability on modern glass-top and induction stoves, whereas round-bottom woks require a wok ring and a gas flame.
  • Surface Treatment
    Choose pre-seasoned woks to save time, or uncoated raw steel if you prefer to build your own natural non-stick 'patina' through traditional seasoning.
