Cooktop compatibility: The flat bottom is designed to sit securely on many gas, electric, and glass cooktops. Always confirm cookware requirements with your cooktop manufacturer and make sure the base has stable contact with the cooking surface.
Fast, high-heat cooking at home
The Yosukata 13.5-inch black carbon steel wok combines a flat base with the sloped sides needed for stir-frying. Its family-size capacity works well for fried rice, noodles, vegetables, braised dishes, pan-frying, and deep-frying.
- Pre-seasoned: Factory pre-seasoning gives the cooking surface a head start.
- Black carbon steel: Heats quickly and supports the high temperatures used for searing and stir-frying.
- Flat bottom: Provides more stable contact with common home cooktops than a traditional round-bottom wok.
- Wooden handle: Offers a comfortable grip while moving and tossing ingredients.
- 13.5-inch size: Suitable for family meals and larger portions.
What pre-seasoned means
Factory pre-seasoning is the beginning of the wok's natural patina, not a synthetic non-stick coating. The surface will continue developing and generally improve with regular cooking and proper care. Color changes and an uneven dark patina are normal.
Before first use
Wash the wok by hand, dry it completely, and apply a very thin layer of cooking oil. Heat and cool it gradually during the first uses while the patina continues to develop.
Care instructions
- Hand wash after the wok has cooled; do not soak it or place it 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.
- Store in a dry place.
Good to know
Carbon steel requires maintenance. Moisture can cause rust, but the surface can usually be cleaned and re-seasoned. Proper drying and a thin protective layer of oil help keep the wok ready for regular use.

How do you clean and maintain this wok so it does not rust?
Love it. 13.5" is a tiny bit small.
Hi Jason, glad you love the wok! If you need a larger size, we have other options available. Thanks for your feedback!
Love the quality feel this wok has, you can tell it's a quality product. The only slight suggestion I could give is that I needed to lightly sand the edges. They were a bit sharp to leave alone. But this required minimal effort on my part with just a little sandpaper. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and I'm very excited to start cooking with it!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the quality of the wok. We also appreciate your note about the edges and will share it with our quality control team. Enjoy cooking!

Got it for my mom for her birthday. She loves it!
Hi Jesse! I'm so glad to hear your mom loves the wok. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Like the size compared to my 16.5 carbon steel round, good weight. Seasoned well with my jet burner unit. Have not yet cooked with it.
My only knock thus far is the rough edge on both wok and purchased spatula. Could cut self with wok if not careful and spatula could compromise seasoning. Had to use aluminum oxide sandpaper to remedy this issue.
Looking forward to using it and I expect only good things.

I need to order the lid as well
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback on our Yosukata Wok. We're glad to hear that you find it excellent! We do offer a matching lid for this product. You can easily find it on our website. Happy cooking!
I've been using this wok for a few weeks now, and honestly, it's been great. It heats up very fast and gives that real stir-fry flavor you don't get from regular nonstick pans. After seasoning it properly, food barely sticks, and it gets better with every use. The flat bottom sits nicely on my stove and feels very stable while cooking. It's also lighter than I expected for carbon steel, so tossing vegetables and noodles is easy. I mainly use it for fried rice, chicken, veggies, and noodles, and everything comes out excellent. Definitely worth it if you want an authentic wok experience at home.
Thank you for your encouraging comments. We value your feedback.
Living in an all-electric house, I was curious about how the seasoning would go. I overthought it at first, but after a quick wash to remove the factory coating, simply rolling oil around the sides on the stovetop worked perfectly. I really enjoy using this wok and would definitely recommend it!
Thank you for your encouraging comments. We value your feedback.
Very happy with this Wok and I'm so glad we got the pre-cured version which avoided a lot of extra smoke and time.
Thank you for your encouraging comments. We value your feedback.
Perfect wok with a nicely balanced weight and well-sized handle. Heats evenly and works great on induction.
We appreciate your kind words. Thank you for your support.
With a large family, this wok is perfect for cooking bigger meals. It heats evenly, food cooks faster, and the quality exceeded my expectations. Pre-seasoned, but easy to season further.
Thank you for your feedback!
Very easy to use and maintain, making stir-frying a pleasure.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you love it.
I recommend this wok without hesitation.
Thank you for your kind acknowledgment. We're pleased you're happy.
This wok comes pre-treated, so all that's needed is a quick wash and an initial seasoning before first use. It's large enough to cook meals for 4 - 6 people. It's a bit heavy, and the handle is angled slightly upwards, which might feel different if you're on the shorter side. It works best when tossing food with a spatula. Cleaning is simple - hand wash, dry immediately, warm on the stove, and lightly oil to protect against rust. Definitely not for the dishwasher.
We're grateful for your review. Thank you for choosing our product.
The wok performs exactly as advertised. When seasoned properly, food does not stick, though a little oil is still needed. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your feedback!
I used to cook with a gas stove and loved my old wok. After switching to induction, my old wok didn't work, but this one is perfect. It heats evenly and is very sturdy.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We're glad you're satisfied.
Many factors led me to choose this wok, and I'm very happy with it. It combines safety, functionality, and style, especially with the wooden handle. It has expanded my cooking options, particularly for Asian cuisine.
Your satisfaction means a lot to us. Thank you for sharing.
