WANGYUANJI 400-YEAR HERITAGE & FLAGSHIP QUALITY Originating in 1641 (Qing Dynasty), WANGYUANJI represents the gold standard of Chinese iron cookware. This wok is our Signature Flagship Model, combining centuries of "Intangible Cultural Heritage" craftsmanship with modern high-purity refined iron. Unlike ordinary pans, this is a piece of culinary history designed for chefs who demand the absolute best in durability and performance. ADVANCED NITRIDING TECHNOLOGY (RUST RESISTANT) To modernize traditional iron, we utilize a specialized high-temperature Nitriding Process. This diffuses nitrogen into the iron surface, creating a hardened, corrosion-resistant shield. It solves the common rust issues of carbon steel while retaining superior thermal conductivity. No chemical coating (PFOA Free)—just pure, healthy iron built to last a lifetime. SOLID HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION (APPROX 3.6 LBS) True Quality Has Weight. Please Note: This is a solid, heavy-duty wok, intentionally crafted thicker than cheap, lightweight alternatives. This substantial build ensures the bottom NEVER WARPS on high-heat induction or electric stoves. The extra density guarantees consistent heat distribution, preventing hot spots and providing a stable, professional cooking experience. REQUIRES SEASONING FOR NATURAL NON-STICK This is an authentic professional iron vessel, not a "magic" chemical non-stick pan. It requires initial seasoning (maintenance) to achieve its best performance. The porous nitrided surface absorbs oil rapidly to build a natural, slippery patina over time. Detailed instructions are included. If you enjoy the ritual of cultivating your own cookware, this pan will reward you with superior results. VERSATILE FLAT BOTTOM DESIGN Engineered for modern kitchens, the 13.4" flat bottom sits securely on all cooktops: Gas, Induction, Electric, Ceramic, and Halogen. It features a detachable wooden handle that stays cool to the touch and a premium visible glass lid. Backed by WANGYUANJI's centuries-old reputation—if you have any issues with weight or seasoning, please contact us for expert support. Discover the Art of Authentic Chinese Cooking with WANGYUANJI
For over 400 years, WANGYUANJI has been defining the standard of traditional iron cookware. Established in 1641, our heritage is built on the philosophy that a great meal starts with a great wok.

Why Choose the WANGYUANJI Nitrided Wok?
1. The "Weight" of Quality:
You might notice this wok feels heavier (approx. 3.6 lbs) than cheap aluminum or thin stamped pans. This is intentional. The thickened refined iron body ensures the wok never warps under high heat—a common issue with lightweight pans. This density provides superior heat retention, allowing you to stir-fry ingredients quickly without dropping the temperature, creating that coveted "Wok Hei" (breath of the wok) flavor.

2. Advanced Nitriding Technology:
We use a specialized heat treatment that diffuses nitrogen into the iron surface. This creates a natural, matte dark finish that is highly resistant to rust and extremely durable. Note: This is NOT a chemical non-stick coating. It is 100% PFOA/PFOS free and safe for metal utensils.

3. Versatile Flat Bottom:
Designed for modern kitchens, the flat base sits securely on gas, electric, induction, and ceramic stoves, while the deep sloping sides prevent spills during vigorous tossing.

Important Maintenance Guide (Read Before Use)
Does it stick?
Like all pure iron cookware, this wok requires seasoning to become non-stick. It is not "magic"—it is physics. The nitrided surface absorbs oil efficiently. With regular seasoning and use, it will develop a natural, slick patina that outperforms synthetic coatings.

How to Cook Non-Stick:
Always follow the "Hot Wok, Cold Oil" rule. Heat the dry wok until it smokes slightly, then add oil and swirl it around before adding food. This creates an immediate physical non-stick barrier.

Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Never use a dishwasher. Use warm water and a soft brush.
- Dry Immediately: After washing, dry the wok completely on the stove to prevent water spots.
- Oil It: Apply a thin layer of cooking oil after drying to maintain the seasoning.
