Strata Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok

A carbon steel wok made to perform on an induction cooktop.

Strata’s patented Nitrided Carbon Clad® wok is three layers: a nitrided carbon steel cooking surface and exterior around a responsive aluminum core. The aluminum keeps the wok light and spreads heat evenly; the carbon steel gives you the sear and seasoning a wok is for.

It is shaped for Western stoves, induction included. Heat concentrates at the base and still carries up the sides, like a traditional round-bottomed wok, so you get wok cooking without a dedicated wok burner.

Nitriding hardens the steel by diffusing nitrogen into its surface. It is not a coating: the wok is more durable, rust-resistant and a little less sticky from the first cook, and it builds seasoning and gets more stick-resistant the more you use it.

Made by Strata Cookware. Available in 12.5" and 14".
