Staub Cast Iron Wok / Cherry / 30cm

An enamelled cast iron wok that retains heat powerfully and is suitable for all hobs including induction. Ideal for stir-frying, deep-frying, and steaming food.

—DETAILS—

Staub is a household name in France and around the world for their black enamelled cookware, which has all the benefits of cast ironnamely the ability to absorb and retain intense heat, resulting in gorgeously browned foodbut there is no special clean-up required. The enamelled finish prevents the pan from rusting and, thanks to its heavy-duty construction, it will not warp. (Though it is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing only.) The slightly textured matt interior makes it more stick-resistant than other enamelled pans. The wide surface and small base of the pan makes it excellent for stir frying food, as it allows oil to heat quickly before distributing it around the pan. It also allows you to use less oil when deep-frying, and is the perfect base for a bamboo steamer basket. It includes a glass lid that lets you keep an eye on your food as it cooks, as well as a tempura rack for keeping food warm while the remainder cooks.

—BENEFITS— ‘I love that it stays very stable on the hob, and if I need to, I can put it in the oven too. Because woks can be used for so much more than stir-frying.’
