Your Seasoned Pro

Pre-seasoned, aka ready to rip right out of the box.

No need to spend hours burning on layers of oil. Our 2.0mm carbon steel comes pre-seasoned and develops a naturally nonstick patina the more you cook on it.

Stir-Fry's Just the Start

This pan doesn’t care what’s for dinner.

Sear, steam, stir-fry, and deep fry. A flat bottom keeps it steady on any cooktop—gas, electric, or induction—and the included glass lid traps steam whenever you need it.

Questions?

Nope — the Misen Carbon Steel Wok is pre-seasoned, so you can start cooking with it right away. We recommend a quick hand-wash with soap and warm water before the first use.

A pan’s “seasoning” refers to the build-up of fats that bake into its metals over time. These layers of fats create a smooth surface that requires very little extra cooking fat to prevent food from sticking. It’s the same thing as a patina on a well-loved cast-iron pan: the more you cook with it, the stronger and more nonstick the pan becomes as it builds up more and more layers of fats.

By pre-seasoning the wok as part of our manufacturing process, we’ve established a strong base layer of seasoning for you. Then, its seasoning will continue to get stronger as you cook with it.

Yes! This Wok is oven-safe to 500º F / 260º C.

Small amounts of acidic ingredients — like wine or vinegar — are okay to use in the wok.

But we recommend avoiding cooking large amounts of acidic foods (such as tomato sauce) in the wok, as these can cause the buildup of your seasoning to deteriorate.

We recommend cleaning with warm water and a non-metallic brush or scrubber. Avoid using soap or the dishwasher, which can cause the seasoning to deteriorate. Towel dry right away to prevent rusting.

Naturally seasoned carbon steel is a little different from a commercial nonstick coating. It's created by a build-up of fats that bake into the metal, making it more and more nonstick the more you cook with it. We recommend using some cooking fat when you cook with your wok, and it’s always a good idea to properly preheat the pan over medium heat before adding any fat or food.

Weight: 5lb 11oz (2.58 kg) with lid, 3lb 10oz (1.64 kg) without lid
Wok Diameter: 12 inches (30.5 cm)
Total Length including Handle: 22.4 inches (56.9 cm)

Yes, the Wok is made with induction-compatible carbon steel and designed with a flat base that will work on any cooktop: gas, electric, ceramic, you name it.

Our factory uses a blended oil to create our wok’s pre-seasoning. It’s a combination of soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, rice, corn, sesame, and linseed oil.

The base seasoning layer on the wok is pretty tough, but here’s what to do if it needs a touch-up:

1. Place your clean, dry wok over medium heat for a few minutes to warm up.
2. Use a clean towel or paper towel to rub a few drops of a high-smoke point oil into the wok interior.
3. Continue wiping away the excess oil while it’s over the heat (your wok surface should appear dry, instead of oily or wet)—it may smoke lightly, which is fine! Then remove from the heat and allow it to cool.

So far so good
Have just used the wok once but so far, so good. Heats up quickly and VERY non-stick! I stir fried some veggies and shrimp and when done could actually just tip the wok and the food slid out. My previous wok was an older “traditional” coated non-stick and was not as slippery. The older wok was a tad bigger so it was a little easier to stir things, but I can make it work - and my guess is if the new wok was any bigger the weight could make it too heavy.

Wok is good
Enjoy this product, but I noticed after several stirfry that the small bottom century of the pan has some spots that are not as dark. I was expecting it to just continue to get darker, not have spots that got lighter. Hmmm is this normal and I even olive it after use and this is what it looks like just wiped out after use

Hi there, Dean!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Yes, this type of discoloration is completely normal and should not be a cause for concern. This is your natural seasoning layer building up and making your Wok more naturally nonstick. It's a good sign - keep it up!

Happy Cooking!

Perfect Gas Stove Top Wok
I have a larger 13.5 inch Wok that works perfectly fine on my gas stove top, but wanted something a little smaller for easier tossing and to create the ability to work on rice and protein in a near simultaneous fashion. The Misen 12 inch Wok fits the bill perfectly. The pre-seasoned carbon steel pan with a lid is wonderful. The only issue with it is that it's perpetually sold out and back ordered. It's worth the wait however. Thank you!

perfectly sized, seasoned wok
This was a gift for someone who loves to cook and loves using it to make Asian dishes a few times a week. The instructions were clear, the wok has a sleek design, was a good weight, it was comfortable to hold.

Carbon steel is the traditional choice for wok cooking because it heats quickly, handles high temperatures well, and develops a natural nonstick patina with use. This 12" wok arrives pre-seasoned, so you can get straight to stir-frying, searing, or tossing vegetables without the lengthy break-in process often associated with raw carbon steel. The large cooking surface gives you plenty of room to move ingredients around without crowding — a key factor in achieving that elusive high-heat sear.

Like all carbon steel cookware, this wok rewards regular use and simple maintenance. Keeping it dry and lightly oiled after each wash helps the seasoning deepen over time. For a full guide on getting the most from your pan, the pre-seasoned carbon steel care guide covers everything from daily cleaning to re-seasoning. If you're building out a carbon steel kitchen setup, the 12" pre-seasoned carbon steel frying pan makes a natural companion for everyday stovetop cooking alongside the wok.
