Cooktop compatibility: The flat bottom is designed for stable contact on many gas, electric, and glass cooktops. Confirm the requirements of your cooktop and make sure the base sits securely.
The Yosukata 11.8-inch black carbon steel wok is a compact, pre-seasoned wok for one or two portions. Its flat base and sloped sides support stir-frying, pan-frying, braising, and deep-frying in smaller kitchens.
- Heavy-duty black carbon steel for quick heat response
- Factory pre-seasoned to begin the natural patina
- Flat bottom for stable home-stovetop use
- Wooden handle for a comfortable grip
- Compact 11.8-inch size for smaller portions and easier storage
Before first use
Wash by hand, dry completely, and apply a very thin layer of cooking oil. Factory pre-seasoning is a starting layer; the natural patina continues developing with regular use.
Care instructions
- Do not soak or place in the dishwasher.
- Use hot water and a soft sponge; a small amount of mild dish soap can be used when needed.
- Dry immediately with a towel or over low heat.
- Apply a very thin layer of cooking oil before storage.
Color changes and an uneven dark patina are normal for carbon steel. Moisture can cause rust, but the surface can usually be cleaned and re-seasoned.

My Yosukata wok is great!
Thank you for your positive review! We're glad you enjoy it.
Very happy. Downsized from a big wok made by another company. This works much better for my needs. Lighter weight, easier on the glass top stove, easy to clean, same tasty results! Great build quality.
Hi Michael, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with your new wok! It's great that it suits your needs and performs well. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I followed the exact steps for seasoning before using it but still the bottom got color changed. Besides, wondering it is standard size, as none of our lids can cover without gap...
Thank you for your feedback. Some color change on carbon steel after seasoning and first use is normal, and the surface will continue to darken as the seasoning layer develops over time.
Regarding the lid fit, we’d be happy to check this further. Please contact us at store.us@yosukata.com with a photo of the wok and lid, along with the measured top diameter of the wok, so our support team can assist.
Great product, good build. I washed andcleaned as directed and seasoned with bacon grease. This wok is the bomb!
Hi James, thanks for your fantastic review! We're glad you're enjoying your wok. Happy cooking!
I chose the smaller wok because I live alone and I wanted the slightly lighter weight. The videos showing how to season the wok were excellent. So far I have only stir fried vegetables or chicken with vegetables. I am a satisfied customer and if necessary I will buy from Yosukata again.
Thank you for your feedback!
I chose the slightly smaller wok size because of lesser weight and because I usually cook only for one or two. I followed your videos for seasoning. All works really well. I am a novice at wok cooking so I have much to learn....I am VERY HAPPY with choice. The wok is very high quality.....I like the absence of rivets on the inside cooking surface. The wooden handle is comfortable to hold.
Thank you for your feedback!
Followed the seasoning instructions included with the wok, and it worked really well. I seasoned it three times before first use. Nothing sticks, the handle is sturdy, and the smaller diameter wok I got is just right for me. I usually cook with canola or olive oil since peanut oil is harder to find.
We appreciate your kind words. Thank you for your support.
I used this wok for stir-frying and searing small steaks - it works perfectly. Heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and is really easy to clean.
Thank you for your feedback!
Does a great job with stir-frying - works perfectly every time.
Thank you for your encouraging comments. We value your feedback.
After the first month of use, the coating started coming off. We used the wok carefully and only cooked fish, without even using a spatula. Customer service, could you please let me know what might have caused this?
Hi, we're sorry to hear this happened after only a month of careful use. That's certainly not the experience we want for our customers. Please reach out to our customer support team store.us@yosukata.com with your order details and a few photos of the wok, and we'll be happy to look into this for you and help with the best solution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Yes, it's a fantastic pan!
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you love it.
Followed seasoning guide, it's relatively nonstick with sufficient oil. Do not like big, thick handle.
Thank you for your feedback!
Very good product.
We're grateful for your review. Thank you for choosing our product.
Excellent wok. I really love it.
Thank you for your feedback!
Very satisfied with this wok.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We're glad you're satisfied.
This is my second wok, and it's a solid one. Woks are a bit like children - the first one you overthink and make mistakes with, but by the second or third, you just know what to do.I unwrapped it, gave it a quick wash with soap and water, heated it with peanut oil until it smoked, cooled it down, wiped it out, and coated the inside with peanut oil for storage.
Your satisfaction means a lot to us. Thank you for sharing.
This is a really good Chinese-style stir-fry wok. Just make sure to follow the preparation and maintenance instructions - it stays naturally non-stick when cared for properly.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you love it.
Great wok, definitely works for induction cooking too. Simple, effective, and gets the job done - it performs as expected and feels reliable.
Thank you for your feedback!
I like the size, easy to handle.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you love it.
I love cooking with this wok. Make sure to dry it by hand after cleaning to avoid rust.
Thank you for your feedback!
