This seasoned surface gradually becomes naturally non-stick, just like a cast iron pan.

Coatings — even ceramic — eventually wear out. With stainless, you get a piece of cookware that doesn't degrade, releases nothing into your food and stands up to thermal shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 cm for 2–3 people, 34 cm for 4–5 people, 38 cm for large gatherings or batch cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eFAQ — Frequently asked questions\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 cm is ideal for 2–3 portions. 34 cm covers 4–6 portions comfortably. 38 cm is for large batches or those who cook for the whole family in a single pass. When in doubt, size up — a wok that's too large is far more practical than one that's too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes 304 stainless need seasoning?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot in the same way as carbon steel. However, a light initial seasoning (heat the wok, add a high smoke-point oil, swirl to coat, heat until smoking, discard oil) improves the natural non-stick properties and helps prevent sticking on first uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work on a domestic gas hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the round-bottom flat-cut base is designed to sit stably on standard UK gas hob grates.
