If you want to steam, I suggest at least six 8 " kids for better coverage to keep the steam in, if you try this, don't have them wear shorts, and definitely not diapers. Actually, now that i think about it, I would not use diapers if just using two 8" kids either - too risky for spillage and cross-contamination. Gotta stay healthy :) Good luck! **Q: After seasoning the wok the wooden handle became loose. The screws only spin in place and don't actually tighten any more. Any suggestions?** A: The handle is wood, My eyes rolled as I read the comment stating that the wooden handle that comes loose is a design flaw. Well that design change aint gonna happen without the "contact Mother Nature bluetooth app" All kidding aside, my suggestion is to remove the wooden handle prior to seasoning the wok in a hot oven. While it is out apply several coats of oil to the wooden handle, it will swell ever so slightly resulting in a tighter fit, re insert and if need be, drill new pilot holes and insert the retaining screws or what someone else suggested insert fatter ones with deeper threads. **Q: Do you think this wok is worth $95?** A: Jason, I did not purchase this wok, the one I purchased had only the steel handles, I purchased a 16" wok, also hand crafted, and it was purchased from Craft Wok for $ 52.95 item #731W87. I needed a wok larger than 14". I properly seasoned it and I am so glad that I got it. I am very happy with how well it cooks. I would only recommend a wok to those who cook with gas, I think it would take a long time to get one hot enough on an electric range. I also highly recommend the stainless steel spatula @ $13.99 by DESLON, also from Amazon it works great and stays cool. Good luck with your choice, and happy cooking! P. White **Q: Can you use this wok on an induction/flat top stove?** A: you could but it won't be very effective as the pan is round. you're better off getting a flat bottom wok such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VQIP4/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482807726&sr=sr-1&keywords=flat+bottom+wok ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Traditional Wok. Great Quality *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 12 April 2024* - ### ⭐ Terrible product! *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 6 July 2023* Received this item it certainly looked the part. Soon as you wash it and leave to dry starts to rust. Couldn’t believe it, absolute waste of money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 July 2019* I'd been after an authentic hand hammered carbon steel wok for some time now. I spotted this one on Amazon and after reading some reviews (mostly on Amazon.com), especially a review by Lance S. Owen (awesome review), I settled on this one. Unfortunately, it was out of stock. Patiently I waited... for a couple of months or more before it came back on sale, for a mind boggling £34.99 - an absolute bargain for a wok of this quality, it got purchased, immediately!The instructions were pretty decent, but I followed the more detailed instructions left by Lance in his review anyway. (Thanks Lance, brilliant review!)First, I washed it to remove the factory coating which protects it from rust - this didn't take too long actually, only a few minutes to get all the oil off.Then I dried it with paper towels, took the ring off the wok burner on my gas hob and lit the jet to get a nice hot flame, which is needed to properly "blue" the steel and sat it down directly on the hob. I do have a wok ring, but this wok fits nice and securely on the hob directly, so no need for that which is handy.I've added some pictures of the bluing process showing the metal heating and changing colour - basically I left it on until the middle had changed colour and then tipped it and rotated until the entire wok was blued. This process took about 15 minutes on my hob - there was no smoking for this part - a sure sign that I'd managed to clean off all the factory oil.With the wok properly blued, I let it cool and coated it with peanut oil (this is my oil of choice and has a high smoke point which is ideal for both this process and wok cooking in general), wiped it down with a paper towel to just leave a thin film and then heated it on medium heat for about 10 minutes, there was some smoking here, but that's handy - if you get too much smoking, turn the heat down a little. When the smoking stopped, I let it cool and wiped it down again - some of the oil residue came off on the paper towel - so i repeated this step another 4 times until there was no residue wiping off. Now the wok is properly oil bonded and ready to "season" - i did this was some ginger and spring onions. My wok now had a nice black patina and was ready for cooking.Things went a little array at this point - my fault because I got excited and used a plastic spatula in the wok, which melted (obvs) and left a lumpy plastic residue on the wok. Oops. (I don't recommend you do this - get a proper metal wok turner before you cook with it.)So now I'm sad - my awesome wok is in a bad way. So, as per the instructions, I emailed CraftWok for some advice. Not patient enough to wait for a response (come on, they're going to be at least a day, right?), I thought I'd have a bash at removing the residue myself...Bicarbonate of soda with some water, simmering away for a few minutes and a metal pallet knife to scrap the plastic off did the trick, it took about half an hour all in - not too hard. Now I've got to re-season, no biggie - but a good 30mins again, so time for a beer and a sit down to congratulate myself on a job well done!Checking my email while supping my beer and I see that CraftWok have mailed me back, already, wow! What's more, these hero's have offered to replace the wok - amazing service! No need though, because I've sorted it already - but how awesome is that, 30min response time to a query and an offer of a replacement when melting plastic to it was completely my fault. Can't argue with that for service, in fact, better than 1st class, probably the best service in the world!I'm massively grateful to CraftWok for their kind offer, but declined as I now have my awesome wok back.Heartily recommend you buy this wok - this is the best I've seen from a company with the best customer service I've ever experienced.Thanks CraftWok! ## Frequently Bought Together - Craft Wok Traditional Hand Hammered Chinese Carbon Steel Wok with Wooden and Steel Helper Handle (14 Inch, Round Bottom Pow Wok Pan) / 731W88 - Craft Wok Ladle and Spatula Set with Wooden Handles for Asian Chinese Carbon Steel Woks Traditional / 732W325 --- ## 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.sn/products/259125360-craft-wok-traditional-hand-hammered-carbon-steel-pow-wok-wooden](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/259125360-craft-wok-traditional-hand-hammered-carbon-steel-pow-wok-wooden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
