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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works w *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 June 2019* Strong and works well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No reason to take stars off *by on Reviewed in the United States 10 October 2013* It's a round solid bottom carbon steel wok. The handles are solid and well made so far. I love the price and prime delivery. It came all the way from Taiwan. So it keeps all the stars.I had an non-typical sized 13-inch Chinese cast iron wok for 2 years. 14 inch makes a lot of difference in the volume but still fit reasonably into my twin kitchen sink. My typical wok ring is for 14 inches and above. It was slightly too large for my old wok. Carbonized food residue can integrate with the cast iron or come off in trunks. I think carbon steel should be better.I would have got the small steel loop handles if they are not more expensive including shipping. For seasoning I can put the whole wok in the oven or the gas barbecue. Also, wood will break down sooner than metal, right? Without the wood handles, it could fit better in the sink. However, the wood handles are much more convenient than without. I can happily live with it.The wok comes with a clear protective lacquer. The boiling, hot soapy water, and abrasive pad helps to remove most or all of it. I don't know if there's something special about my hand dish detergent - Palmolive pure & clear ultra. When the undiluted detergent make contact with the wok surface, the surrounding area seems to have lacquer still on it. And before the lacquer comes off completely, wiping the wok with kitchen paper towel will result in greenish color on the paper. And when the wok seems to be very clean, it seems to rust on one side (slightly brownish spots) as soon as you are washing the other side.The seasoning instructions are a bit brief. I would dry the wok first completely before adding oil for example. And they should say what to expect after you season the wok.Peanut oil has a higher smoke point so I wonder if that would make the kitchen less smokey. I would say the idea of seasoning is to get a least a brown color on the shiny carbon steel surface, black doesn't hurt as long as it is even (see my pic). If you don't do that during seasoning, a proper stir fry will do that for you (unevenly though). The sturdy wood handle is great to manoeuvre the wok to get some brown color on the side. The area near the rim doesn't matter much as it is not hot enough during cooking and food don't get there to be carbonized.For after use care you don't actually need to put oil on it, as long as you don't use detergent. I dry it by flame because when it is wet, any normal rust will stain the sink.I don't know why I didn't season the bottom of the wok. I didn't remember if it is in the instructions. The whole bottom rust after use. For the oven seasoning method I used to put oil on both sides. For this one I just smear oil on the bottom and put it under the stove, normal side up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Chinese Cooking *by on Reviewed in Canada 23 January 2019* I have all sorts of different cookware ranging from stainless steel saucepans, non stick drying pans to cast iron pots and pans. However, I did not have a carbon steel wok - I only had a stainless steel one. Now as you may know it's rather difficult to cook on stainless steel and have it not stick to the pan which is somewhat important when making fried rice. You can 'season' a stainless steel wok but you'll definitely be spending a lot of time with barkeepers friend afterward cleaning up the burned oil. Enter this pan, cooking with it after seasoning is really easy. Rice, vegetables and meat are all easily stir-fried without a problem and the coating of oil really gives the authentic chinese kitchen taste if cooked with vegetable oil. Cleaning is a cinch too! Just scour any leftover food off and rinse with hot water and use a washcloth. I like to also apply a layer of oil afterwards. All in all a good pan. ## Frequently Bought Together - JOYCE CHEN Classic Series 14-Inch Round Bottom Carbon Steel Wok with Birch Handles - FJNATINH Spatula & Ladle Wok Tool Set, 14.2-15 inches Wok Utensils, Stainless Steel Wok Spatula - JOYCE CHEN Wok Ring for Pairing with Traditional Round Bottom Woks --- ## 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.hr/products/183812215-20-1140-pro-chef-round-bottom-wok-with-wood-handles](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/183812215-20-1140-pro-chef-round-bottom-wok-with-wood-handles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
