Which Pan Should You Choose?
CARBON STEEL WOK PAN
Best for: Stir-frying · Wok Hei · Deep-frying · Soups · High-heat cooking
The classic choice for wok cooking. The round-bottomed shape concentrates heat and makes it easy to toss ingredients through the hottest part of the wok.
Available in 30 cm and 35 cm.

CARBON STEEL PAELLA PAN
Best for: Paella · Rice dishes · Meat · Seafood · Vegetables · Omelettes
A wide, flat cooking surface gives you plenty of room for ingredients and distributes the heat across the pan. Our paella pans are made from 2 mm carbon steel and are available in 30 cm and 35 cm.
CAST IRON GRILL PAN
Best for: Steaks · Burgers · Fish · Vegetables · Outdoor grilling
Turn your HOT WOK into a powerful outdoor grill. The 32.5 cm cast iron grill pan retains heat and gives you a hot cooking surface for fast searing.
Why Cook with a Carbon Steel Wok Pan?
Carbon steel and high heat belong together.
HOT WOK wok pans are made from 1.5 mm carbon steel and feature the traditional round-bottomed shape used for wok cooking. Carbon steel responds quickly to changes in heat, making it ideal for fast stir-frying and cooking directly over a powerful gas flame.
With regular use and proper seasoning, the wok develops a natural cooking surface that improves over time.
That makes a carbon steel wok more than just another pan. It becomes a cooking tool that changes with the way you use it.

30 cm or 35 cm Wok Pan?
Both HOT WOK wok pans are made for high-heat cooking, but the right size depends on how you cook.
30 CM WOK PAN
Compact, fast and easy to handle. A great everyday wok for smaller portions and quick stir-fries.
35 CM WOK PAN
More cooking surface and more room to move ingredients around the wok. A good choice when cooking larger portions or when you simply want more space.
Both sizes have a round bottom and are designed to work with HOT WOK gas burners.
What Is Wok Hei?
Wok Hei is often translated as “the breath of the wok.”
It describes the characteristic aroma, flavour and texture created when ingredients are cooked quickly in a very hot wok.
Producing Wok Hei is not just about owning a powerful burner. It is the combination of high heat, a carbon steel wok, movement, timing and technique.
That is exactly where a traditional carbon steel wok pan comes into its own.

Paella Pans – More Than Paella
A paella pan gives you a completely different cooking surface from a wok.
Instead of concentrating the heat in a round bottom, the wide and flat base creates a large cooking area. That makes it ideal for paella, rice dishes, seafood, meat, vegetables, omelettes and many other dishes.
HOT WOK paella pans are made from 2 mm carbon steel and are available in 30 cm and 35 cm. The 35 cm model is compatible with HOT WOK gas stoves, and a Flat Burner Ring is recommended for the best setup.
Turn Your HOT WOK into a Grill
Wok cooking isn't the only thing your burner can do.
Add the HOT WOK 32.5 cm cast iron grill pan and use the power of your burner for steaks, burgers, fish, vegetables and other grilled favourites.
Cast iron holds heat differently from carbon steel, making the grill pan particularly suited to searing and grilling.
One burner. Different cooking styles.

Carbon Steel Care & Seasoning
Carbon steel cookware needs a little care – and rewards you for it.
Before using your carbon steel wok, build up its natural cooking surface through seasoning. After cooking, clean and dry the pan thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil before storing it.
Avoid sudden temperature changes, and do not leave food in carbon steel cookware for storage. HOT WOK also advises against using carbon steel and cast iron cookware for acidic foods such as tomatoes, wine, citrus and vinegar.
Complete Your HOT WOK Setup
Your pan is only one part of the setup. Pair your carbon steel wok with a powerful HOT WOK burner for fast, high-temperature cooking. Add a flat burner ring when you want to use flat-bottomed cookware such as a paella pan or grill pan.
