Perhaps you’ll be charmed by how nimble this flat bottom wok can be, its lightweight carbon steel making it easy to stir, flip, or shake food to perfection. Or maybe you’ll swoon over how much heat this pan can absorb, searing that perfect char onto veggies and meat without scorching. Either way, your love for this wok will grow stronger as it ages. Season before use by rinsing off all residue, wiping away moisture with a paper towel, putting it back on the stove and applying a thin layer of vegetable oil til warm and then removing the wok from heat and letting air-dry. Season it regularly and as you season it, its patina will deepen and darken in a beautiful way, eliminating any chance rust will set in.

Review: High quality product - High quality and as expected Review: Took hours to clean the first time. Then worked fine. - I'm writing this the day I opened the box. It was trivial to assemble, although it took a few tries before the handle would go on all the way. The instructions say that, before use, you should clean it by boiling water in it for 5 to 7 minutes, and then scrub with hot soapy water and a scouring pad. I didn't follow the instructions to the word. I had "Bon Ami" cleansing powder, so I tried that first. I did a lot of scrubbing and the sides of the wok felt like metal, but the bottom was still slick like plastic. I boiled water in it twice. I didn't let it sit for "5 to 7 minutes" (I probably should have read the directions closer). It stank and got dark streaks on it. It was weird. It still stank after the second boil. Online instructions said to heat it, without water in it. Just heat the metal until the factory coating burned off. I had the large gas burner on high and it took a while. The wok turned bronze, then brown, then bluish. It really stank. You want your windows open and the stove's exhaust fan on. I used the Bon Ami powder on it after that. Some of the blue came off on the bottom. It was taking sooooo long and I was making little progress, so I just gave up. I put some oil in the pan and seasoned it. (I burned the oil and set off the fire alarm ... I do not recommend imitating me there.) I then made fried rice. It worked fine. It didn't stink and it cleaned up well afterwards. I think I'm going to like this pan. My only complaint so far, besides the 2+ hours to clean it, is that the short-handle doesn't stick out away from the pan. The handle is up and above the pan. That means that the handle gets warm while on the burner. You'll need an oven mitt whenever you want to use that second handle. But I'll live with that. It wasn't a very expensive pan. ## Features - Wok set includes 14-inch wok, dome lid, 12-inch bamboo spatula, and recipe booklet - Made of 1-1/2 mm gauge carbon steel for fast, even heating; requires seasoning before use - Birch-wood stay-cool handles - one long and an opposite helper handle - Nonstick steel dome lid with knob helps keep in heat, moisture, and nutrients - Safe for use on either gas or electric cooktops; hand wash.NOTE: Carbon steel woks are not made for average cooks that expect them to work as easily as a non-stick pan. They require seasoning when you buy it and special cleaning and oiling after every use. A properly seasoned wok will look very discolored and almost dirty, that’s what they’re supposed to look like after seasoning. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002AQSWNE | | Best Sellers Rank | 372,343 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 106 in Woks | | Brand | Joyce Chen | | Brand Name | Joyce Chen | | Capacity | 14 Cubic Inches | | Coating Description | Unseasoned, Raw Carbon Steel | | Colour | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Electric Coil, Gas | | Compatible devices | Electric Coil , Gas | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 3,555 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00048002219723 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Has Nonstick Coating | No | | Included Components | Joyce Chen Classic Series Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces | | Is Oven Safe | No | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Shape | cylinder (flat bottom and sloping sides) | | Item Type Name | Wok | | Item Weight | 1.47 kg | | Manufacturer | Joyce Chen | | Manufacturer Part Number | J21-9972 | | Material | Carbon Steel | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Metal | Carbon Steel | | Model Name | Joyce Chen Classic Series Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set | | Model Number | J21-9972 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Stir-frying, searing, oven cooking | | Special Features | Not Dishwasher Safe, Requires Seasoning, Special Cleaning and Oiling | | Special feature | Not Dishwasher Safe, Requires Seasoning, Special Cleaning and Oiling | | Specific Uses For Product | everyday cooking tasks with a willingness to perform special maintenance | | UPC | 802193034318 716080044604 780851140475 791810237549 702916420599 801210947761 048002219723 700516987511 643749725072 735343560835 887657912036 743724550030 797267854995 702785958926 724137543918 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Joyce Chen - **Capacity:** 14 Cubic Inches - **Colour:** Silver - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Special feature:** Not Dishwasher Safe, Requires Seasoning, Special Cleaning and Oiling ## Images ![Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614ewBwCk0L.jpg) ![Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81chWa6-3LL.jpg) ![Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AX3vEi14L.jpg) ![Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51P0ed-p6lL.jpg) ![Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tKD3WQ09L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have an induction cooktop. Can someone please tell me if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the wok?** A: I use this wok on a counter-top induction cooker. Works perfectly. **Q: What is the flat bottom diameter(what comes in contact with stove top)?** A: 5 and 1/2 inches of flat surface **Q: Can it stay level on a regular stove top? I am a bit concerned about the round bottom (as opposed to a flat bottom)** A: http://www.amazon.com/Whirlpool-W10216179-Wok-Ring/dp/B0049IBXYQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1389104132&sr=8-7&keywords=wok+ring A regular wok ring didn't work for me, but someone gave me one of these, a Whirlpool Wok Ring (I don't know if the link is allowed, if not just search for it on Amazon.) A round bottom is MUCH better than a flat bottom when it comes to woking. If you need to know why, I can write you the 10+ page answer. **Q: Is the cooking surface nonstick or plain carbon steel?** A: Plain carbon steel ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality product *by I***I on 5 August 2019* High quality and as expected ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Took hours to clean the first time.

I've properly cleaned it with a scrubbing pad and soap, and then heated it using my butane stove (outside, it'll smoke) until the whole thing became light blue. I made sure to cover the wooden handles with aluminium foil to prevent them from scorching. I let it cool a bit and then applied a thin coat of canola oil inside and outside and wiped it as thin as possible with a paper towel. I started the burner again and let the oil burn out (until it's no longer smoking). I wiped again, and then fried some scallions and fresh ginger until brown, and wiped it clean again with the paper towel. As others mentioned, the rivets of the handles did become a bit loose from the heat expansion, but there's an easy fix: All you need is to gently hammer them flat against an anvil or bench vice until it's tight again. Be careful not to hammer the wok, and be gentle because the rivets will flatten easily. I did that for both the handles and they are no longer giggling. I don't expect them to move again now that they've been tempered, but we'll see. ## Frequently Bought Together - JOYCE CHEN Classic Series 14-Inch Uncoated Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces - The Wok: Recipes and Techniques - FJNATINH Spatula & Ladle Wok Tool Set, 14.2-15 inches Wok Utensils, Stainless Steel Wok Spatula --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52565852-classic-series-14-inch-uncoated-carbon-steel-wok-set-lid](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52565852-classic-series-14-inch-uncoated-carbon-steel-wok-set-lid) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
