SUMMIT JAPAN Professional Wok Series 39cm

Yearn to master authentic Chinese cuisine with the flair of a culinary artist? The Summit Professional Wok, available in sizes from 36-45cm, is ideal for preparing dishes for four or more people. Designed for open flames, its curved body and base ensure even and rapid heat distribution, perfect for the energetic toss required for stir-fries like fried rice and noodles, capturing that essential "wok hei." The deep profile also makes it suitable for deep-frying. The dual-handle design offers stability and assistance when tossing. Crafted from iron, this wok requires only a simple rinse with hot water and a light oil seasoning, making upkeep effortless. It's equally suited for professional kitchens and home use. Features: 1. Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata. Iron offers excellent heat conductivity and retention, becoming increasingly non-stick with use and proper seasoning. 2. The 39cm diameter allows for easy flipping and tossing, ideal for dishes serving 4 people. 3. The curved base is suitable for deep-frying in addition to pan-frying, designed exclusively for open flame stovetops. 4. Dual-handle design for easy lifting and tossing. 5. Free from non-stick coatings, preserving the natural essence of food. Cookware material is not restricted. 6. Simple to clean. With initial seasoning and regular oiling, subsequent cleaning only requires hot water, saving you time. 7. A unique Japanese food-grade silicone coating is applied during the artisanal manufacturing process (learn more at the bottom). This coating prevents rust and iron powder typically found on new iron cookware upon arrival. A Note on the Coating: Some Summit cookware pieces feature a Japanese food-grade silicone coating instead of the usual iron powder found on new pans. This coating, compliant with Japan's food sanitation laws, serves to prevent rust during transit and is entirely harmless. The coating will gradually wear off over time. As it diminishes, the wok will gradually reveal its natural iron color, displaying a dual-toned appearance. Please continue to use it with confidence. You may also choose to gently brush off the coating with a brush during the initial seasoning process, according to your preference. Silicone is Not Plastic: Silicone is derived from silicon dioxide, extracted from quartz minerals. Silicon is also a primary component of glass and crystal, making silicone a non-toxic, heavy-metal-free, and eco-friendly natural material. (It is widely used in various kitchenware, such as silicone spatulas.)
