• Versatile Usage: Ideal for sautéing, frying, simmering, and steaming—perfect for both everyday meals and gourmet dishes.
• Induction Ready: Magnetic compatibility means you can use it on any induction stove without loss of performance.

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the wok’s pristine appearance and longevity, follow these simple guidelines:

1. Cleaning: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the stainless surface.
2. Drying: Pat dry immediately to prevent water spots; alternatively, place on low heat for quick drying.
3. Storage: Store in a dry area; if stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth between items to avoid scratches.
4. Lid Care: Clean the glass lid with non‑abrasive glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth for crystal clarity.
