De Buyer Mineral B Iron Wok

Mineral Iron Wok by De Buyer

The popular De Buyer iron pans are now also available in a wok format! Just like De Buyer's Mineral iron pans, these woks are eco-friendly, recyclable, offer 100% natural cooking, are free of non-stick coatings, heat up incredibly fast, and are built to last a lifetime.

Cooking in a wok means quickly searing food, and there's no better way to do it than with an iron pan like this: iron is the material that retains the most heat. Not only does it heat up incredibly fast and retain heat well, but that heat sears food quickly, resulting in wonderfully stir-fried vegetables, meats, and fish. You'll see how they turn golden on the outside, crispy, and full of flavor and nutrients on the inside. No wonder the authentic Asian woks are made of iron!

1. Handcrafted from iron.
2. Made without chemicals, coatings, or heavy metals.
3. Treated with a natural beeswax coating that protects the pan from factory to home.
4. With use, they develop a patina that becomes naturally non-stick.
5. Ideal for searing or roasting meats, stir-frying vegetables, or frying eggs.
6. Compatible with all heat sources, including induction.
7. Can be used in the oven (up to 200°C for ten minutes).

The 24 cm and 28 cm woks are available in two designs:

1. Traditional De Buyer design, as in the other sizes, with a narrower base and a very pronounced concave shape. This is the most traditional wok shape, ideal for stir-frying in an oriental style.
2. Rounded design, with a broader base for sautéing large amounts of vegetables with minimal oil. This design makes it more versatile for use as a deep frying pan. Its wider base provides better stability and makes cooking and filling easier.

This is a traditional iron wok that will last a lifetime and delivers wonderful searing results. It's a heavy pan, but it's worth its weight in gold and will last a lifetime in your kitchen!

Don't forget to check out our protective handle cover for De Buyer iron pans, which will help prevent burns when handling the pan.

Important Notes About De Buyer Mineral B Iron Pans

• De Buyer pans are made in France, and they are the only pans with a 99% pure iron certification. They're the best!
• Since they're iron pans, they can rust. How to prevent it? Avoid prolonged contact with water, don't let them air-dry: simply dry them with a cloth after washing. If you'd like, you can leave them over low heat for a few minutes to completely remove moisture.
• If you're not going to use them for a while, you can apply a little oil and spread it over the surface with a paper towel, though this isn't necessary.
• It's a good idea to season them before the first use. Seasoning makes them naturally non-stick. Seasoning is super easy to do—check out the video in the photos to see how.
• You have a pan for life! You can scrub it with a soft sponge or steel wool if needed to remove stuck-on food, and it won't harm the pan (there's no non-stick coating to damage). The pan may turn black, either completely or in patches. Don't worry—darker pans perform better!
• If rust spots appear, simply rub them with a paper towel and oil, and they'll disappear as if by magic. For larger rust areas, use steel wool. It won't harm the pan, as it's entirely made of iron.
• If you need to scrub it or just feel like it, you can re-season it, though it's not necessary to do so regularly.
