{"product_id":"the-pankon-wok-pan","title":"The Pankon Wok Pan","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Pankon Wok Pan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pankon takes you back to the origins of Asian cooking. Made from \u003cstrong\u003esolid carbon steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no non-stick coating and no PTFE, it's the centrepiece for anyone looking to master wok cooking. Stir-fried noodles, crisp vegetables, slow-simmered meats: its fast heat response keeps vegetables crunchy and meat tender, in quick stir-frying as well as slow cooking. No chemical layer to flake, no doubt about what ends up on your plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003eGenuine carbon steel, not stainless\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel is not the same as stainless steel. A new wok is bright and silver-toned, but through cooking and seasoning it slowly darkens to almost black. That's not wear, it's intended: this dark patina protects the steel and helps food release more and more easily. Today's silver wok is the black wok of a few months' time. It's this patina — not a coating — that gives the Pankon its natural non-stick surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003eCarbon steel: the technical advantages\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel combines a thin wall with high thermal conductivity. The result: fast heat-up, precisely controlled through the heat source — decisive for high-temperature searing without letting the cooking drop. The ergonomic wooden handle is heat-insulating and sits securely in the hand, even during long stir-fries and even when the wok is loaded with vegetables, meat or noodles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003eGas and open flame only — not for induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis wok works on gas hobs or open flame only\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the flame rises up the curved sides. Because of its \u003cstrong\u003etraditional round bottom\u003c\/strong\u003e, it makes no flat contact with a smooth cooking surface: it is \u003cstrong\u003enot compatible with induction\u003c\/strong\u003e, nor with ceramic or electric hobs. If you cook on induction, choose a flat-bottomed wok. So check before buying that you cook with gas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003e32 cm or 34 cm — which diameter for your household?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sizes are available. As a guide: 32 cm suits 2–4 people, 34 cm suits 4–6 people or when you want to sear larger amounts of meat and vegetables in one go. A larger diameter means more cooking surface and less overcrowding — a genuinely relevant point, because an overcrowded wok loses surface temperature and starts to steam instead of sear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003eSeasoning: do it once, do it right\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new carbon steel wok must be seasoned before first use. With every cook, you build that natural protective layer further. A step-by-step guide is included so you get this essential step right the first time and achieve a natural non-stick surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003eCare\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the wok with warm water and a soft brush, without harsh detergent, and dry it immediately to prevent rust. Not dishwasher safe. A thin film of oil after drying keeps the patina in top condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon steel, uncoated (no coating, PTFE-free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: round (traditional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: gas hobs and open flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for: induction, ceramic, electric hobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 32 cm and 34 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: wood, ergonomic and heat-insulating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: seasoning required, hand wash, not dishwasher safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: wok + seasoning guide + digital recipe book (20 recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h2-style\"\u003e20 Recipes to Start Your Culinary Adventure\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Pankon comes with a free digital recipe book.
