Chinese Hand Hammered Iron Woks and Stir Fry Pans

The ZhangQiu Iron Wok: Forged with Centuries-Old Craftsmanship

Crafted using a time-honored Chinese technique passed down through generations, our ZhangQiu Iron Wok is the epitome of culinary excellence. Featuring a meticulous 12-step process and an astounding 36,000 individual hammer strikes, each wok is a testament to the skill and dedication of our artisans.

This unique cold-forging technique was originally used to create ancient weapons, but has since been meticulously refined and repurposed to produce the ultimate in nonstick cookware. As captured in the renowned documentary "A Bite of China," our woks were selected in 2018 to be featured for their unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.

In 2020, the ZhangQiu Iron Wok was further honored as the designated kitchenware supplier for the China Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, solidifying its status as a true icon of Chinese culinary heritage.

From a raw iron blank to a gleaming, mirror-like surface, the journey of our woks is one of painstaking attention to detail. The 36,000 hammer strikes applied over the 12 distinct processes result in a surface density that is simply unmatched. As the wok is used, a natural, nonstick oxide layer forms, creating a cooking surface that only becomes more efficient over time.

The classic concave shape, perfected through countless iterations, ensures optimal heat conductivity and the perfect environment for stir-frying, boiling, and more. Our woks feature no coatings or paintings, relying solely on the inherent properties of iron to provide a healthy, chemical-free cooking experience.

Available in a range of sizes to suit any kitchen, our woks are crafted with an eye-catching blue-black or silver finish. The blue-black woks come pre-seasoned, while the silver woks require a simple seasoning process that we guide you through with detailed tutorials.

Complementing the exceptional craftsmanship is a heat-resistant silicone handle cover, ensuring a comfortable and safe cooking experience.

However, the success of our ZhangQiu Iron Wok has also led to a proliferation of low-quality counterfeits in the market. Consumers must be wary, as the true value of these woks lies in the painstaking effort required to produce them. A genuine ZhangQiu Iron Wok, forged with 36,000 hammer strikes over 12 intricate steps, cannot be replicated for a mere fraction of the cost.

Invest in the timeless tradition of Chinese culinary craftsmanship and experience the unparalleled performance of the ZhangQiu Iron Wok. A true testament to the enduring legacy of our ancestors, each wok is a work of art that will elevate your cooking to new heights.
