Ballarini 130 wok su 2 rankenomis Ø36cm/4,5mm

Stir-frying for a crowd demands a pan that can take the heat and keep it. The Ballarini 130 wok is built from heavy-gauge carbon steel with a 4.5 mm wall thickness, giving you the high, even temperatures needed for authentic wok cooking at home. Its 36 cm diameter and 5.5 L capacity make it ideal for family meals or meal prep. The flat base sits securely on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction hobs, while the twin steel side handles offer a confident grip when tossing ingredients or moving the pan from hob to table. Uncoated and ready to season, this wok develops a natural non-stick patina over time—just like the ones used in professional kitchens.

Why choose it

Carbon steel is the choice of professional chefs for wok cooking because it heats quickly and responds instantly to temperature changes. The 4.5 mm thickness provides excellent heat retention, so your food sears rather than steams. Unlike non-stick coated woks, this pan can be used with metal utensils and at very high temperatures. With proper seasoning, it becomes naturally non-stick and improves with use. The flat base ensures stability on all hob types, including induction, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen.

Ideal use cases

• Stir-frying vegetables, meat, and noodles for quick, high-heat cooking
• Deep-frying small batches thanks to the generous depth and capacity
• Steaming with a bamboo or metal steamer insert (not included)
• Braising and simmering curries or stews
• Outdoor cooking on a gas burner or barbecue side burner

Good to know

This wok arrives unseasoned. Before first use, wash it with hot water (no soap), dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil. Heat until it smokes, then wipe off excess. Repeat periodically to build up a durable, non-stick seasoning. Avoid cooking acidic foods for long periods, as they can strip the seasoning. After use, rinse with hot water and a soft sponge; do not use harsh detergents or put it in the dishwasher. Dry immediately and rub with a drop of oil to prevent rust. Made in Italy by Ballarini, a brand known for quality cookware since 1889.
