No, this wok is not compatible with all heat sources. Due to its traditional round bottom design, it is intended for use only on gas stoves or open flame cooking setups. It is not suitable for flat electric, ceramic, or induction cooktops. Is the wok non-stick and does it require seasoning? This wok has no Teflon coating.

Over time, it builds a natural non-stick surface made from polymerized oil, which improves with every use. How should I clean the wok? Can I use a dishwasher? Hand wash only — no soap or dishwasher.

It’s PTFE/PFOA-free, safe at high temperatures, and much more durable. It builds its own non-stick layer naturally and delivers authentic, restaurant-quality stir fry at home. Why does food stick to my pre-seasoned wok and how can I prevent it? Food sticks if the wok isn’t hot enough, has too little oil or is overfilled. For best results, preheat the wok until it starts to smoke, add enough oil, and cook in smaller batches. This ensures proper searing and helps maintain a non-stick surface Why is my wok rusting or developing pitting/flaking spots, and how can I fix it? Rust forms from moisture or poor storage; pitting/flaking happens from acidic ingredients. Scrub rust/pits/flaked spots with steel wool, dry thoroughly, and re-season. Avoid acidic foods in early uses Why is the coating on my wok peeling or flaking, and why does it wobble or warp on the stove? Peeling/flaking is a result of acidic food ingredients contacting the iron. Strip flaky layers with steel wool and re-season with oil; Warping is caused by sudden temperature changes. Always heat the wok gradually and cool it before washing What is the black coating on my wok and why is a new wok covered in oil? The black color comes from surface-hardening during steel production—it's a safe iron oxide. No dyes, no chemicals or non-stick coatings are used. The protective oil is for shipping only—wash the wok once with a soap, rinse and dry thoroughly Can I use metal utensils with my wok, and are scratches something to worry about? Yes, metal utensils are safe to use. The wok is made of carbon steel with no chemical coatings, so small scratches are normal and not harmful.

This is a round-bottom wok, but has worked great on a regular gas stove for me without a stand or any rings. The pre-seasoned wok comes with a beautiful and thorough rich blue oxidation that looks really great in person which I'm not too sure how you would be able to actually achieve on your own unless you really know what your doing. Regardless, with a good season on this pan the non-stick ability is really unbelievable. If you haven't ever seasoned your wok before, I highly recommend looking further into the process as the instructions included are a little bit vague. Below I included a few tips I think can help if interested. However overall, aside from the seasoning which can actually be a very quick simple process, one thing is for sureand that is that I really find it hard to believe you'd be disappointed in this wok at all. The quality craftsmanship and material constituting this wok stands out and is able to compare well with much higher end woks for a great price in my opinion so I would definitely recommend it.I happened to use the oven to do mine and the pictures shown are the result. The handle is set extremely firmly into place, however if you want to use the oven to season it it is possible. I would recommend the stove top if you can use a vent and open the windows as the oven method will still be smoky as well. I actually suprisingly happened to use both methods on my pan which I will explain why I did and what to look out for if interested. For the oven, if you can't get the handle off just leave the 2 screws off if you prefer or you can leave one in to be safe while transferring and wet a paper towel damply with water to wrap the handle with it. Afterwards covering in foil to keep the moisture in. This can be done while preheating oven to the first tempature at 200F. When it's ready, 15min to warm the wok for applying the first coat of oil to be polymerized, then is raised to 350F. While the temperature is rising, just barely douse a paper towel with oil and wipe down all the surfaces for a very thin coat. A little bit really does go a long way and thinner the better. After another 15 min once more at 350F the handle should be loose enough to remove at this point and the wok needs as much excess oil wiped off as possible with a clean paper towel because any excess oil will pull together and can form streaks and bake on an uneven season on the next step, which would hardening the oil by using the highest setting that your oven can go to for about 45 min to an hour. This process can be repeated several times to get a better season and the handle can be reinserted while remaining firm. If your using an oven, the result can vary based on oil type and tempature with greater time involved but can result in a very smooth surface. I unconventionally used coconut oil for the oven, but I feel you should use vegetable, lard, canola, or some recommend flax due to its low smoke point which is ideal. Although it's worth mentioning that in the oven, the wok will still smoke because your getting the oil above the smoke point, it's just preventing excess amounts of it smoking when first applying. Over the stove, the process is similar but much faster. This is done by getting your wok very hot. You then want to use the same light application of oil but while holding it on its side and applying only the area the heat is on while making your way around the pan. You can use tongs to do this to swirl it on and then quickly use a dry one to wipe it down again as much as possible. It will seem like you might be wiping it all off but a thin layer will remain. This will smoke off until all of the oil has polymerized then repeat until it is finished. Although there are two key things to watch out for while using this method. One is do not apply access oil or let it sit for too long before removing. This can leave a thicker not yet fully polymerized patch of oil that can ruin your non-stick coating and will peel away your season. This happened to me after finishing multiple coats in the oven and applying a layer of canola oil. However this is easily avoidable and you will definetly be able to tell if it happens. After this, I actually completely removed the first season using baking soda, vinegar, heat and steel wool. The other thing to look out for is over applying coats and overcooking the wok. It is definitely thought that the more coats the better, but this is best developed over time. One or two well applied layers will work great and can result in an amazingly non stick and gently darkened surface. You can definetly easily get this surface to a rich black, but repeatedly doing this on the high flame will actually burn the polymerized oil. It will seem okay, but will start to flake off once cooking and even though it's not more harmful chemicals or metal, you probably don't want this to happen so don't be afraid to reduce the heat some or reduce to around a medium heat once the process gets going. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Wok! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 22, 2026* Built like a tank. Heat disperses pretty nicely around the wok. My only complaint is the metal where the handle attaches get's very hot and will burn your hand, so be careful when you grab the handle. Other than that, it's great! Mine also discolored like other reviews have posted, but that's normal. As you cook and different foods cooked at different heats, the wok will "break in" and change. Make sure you read the care instructions it came with and you'll be fine.I wash mine with steel wool until all food residue is removed. Then I wash it with a sponge and dish soap. Then a thorough rinse and towel dry. Next I put it on the stove on low heat to make sure it's completely dry. Lastly, I put some cooking oil in the bottom and spread that all over to recoat the wok. Lastly, never cook acidic foods (ie- lime juice, lemon juice, a lot of tomatoes, vinegar, etc). That will strip your seasoning off the wok and you'll have to redo it. If you want to cook acidic foods, you should use a stainless steel wok. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great wok if you can handle the weight *by on Reviewed in the United States May 13, 2026* Much to like about this wok. It comes pre-seasoned (although the manufacturer recommends treating with oil before the first use). It is well constructed and appears to be very sturdy. The only flaw for me is the weight. It is fairly heavy for the home cook. ## Frequently Bought Together - YOSUKATA Silver Round Bottom Wok and Stir Fry Pans 14 in- Chinese Hammered Carbon Steel Pow Wok - Traditional Chinese Japanese Asian Cookware (14", Silver) - YOSUKATA 17’’ Wok Spatula and Ladle - Set of 2 Heat-Resistant Wok Tools - Universal Wok Ladle and Spatula - High-Grade Stainless Steel Cooking Utensils and Wok Accessories - Solid Wok Utensils - YOSUKATA Wok Lid 13.6 Inch - Premium Stainless Wok Cover with Tempered Glass Insert Steam Holes - Dishwasher-Safe Lid for 14-Inch Wok - Chees Melting Dome for Griddle --- ## 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.jp/products/296081727-yosukata-14-silver-carbon-steel-wok-with-round-bottom-suitable](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/296081727-yosukata-14-silver-carbon-steel-wok-with-round-bottom-suitable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
