The popular De Buyer iron pans are now also available in a wok format! Just like De Buyer's Mineral iron pans, these woks are eco-friendly, recyclable, offer 100% natural cooking, are free of non-stick coatings, heat up incredibly fast, and are built to last a lifetime.
Cooking in a wok means quickly searing food, and there's no better way to do it than with an iron pan like this: iron is the material that retains the most heat. Not only does it heat up incredibly fast and retain heat well, but that heat sears food quickly, resulting in wonderfully stir-fried vegetables, meats, and fish. You'll see how they turn golden on the outside, crispy, and full of flavor and nutrients on the inside. No wonder the authentic Asian woks are made of iron!
- Handcrafted from iron.
- Made without chemicals, coatings, or heavy metals.
- Treated with a natural beeswax coating that protects the pan from factory to home.
- With use, they develop a patina that becomes naturally non-stick.
- Ideal for searing or roasting meats, stir-frying vegetables, or frying eggs.
- Compatible with all heat sources, including induction.
- Can be used in the oven (up to 200°C for ten minutes).
The 24 cm and 28 cm woks are available in two designs:
- Traditional De Buyer design, as in the other sizes, with a narrower base and a very pronounced concave shape. This is the most traditional wok shape, ideal for stir-frying in an oriental style.
- Rounded design, with a broader base for sautéing large amounts of vegetables with minimal oil. This design makes it more versatile for use as a deep frying pan. Its wider base provides better stability and makes cooking and filling easier.
This is a traditional iron wok that will last a lifetime and delivers wonderful searing results. It's a heavy pan, but it's worth its weight in gold and will last a lifetime in your kitchen!
Don't forget to check out our protective handle cover for De Buyer iron pans, which will help prevent burns when handling the pan.

Important Notes About De Buyer Mineral B Iron Pans
- De Buyer pans are made in France, and they are the only pans with a 99% pure iron certification. They're the best!
- Since they're iron pans, they can rust. How to prevent it? Avoid prolonged contact with water, don't let them air-dry: simply dry them with a cloth after washing. If you'd like, you can leave them over low heat for a few minutes to completely remove moisture.
- If you're not going to use them for a while, you can apply a little oil and spread it over the surface with a paper towel, though this isn't necessary.
- It's a good idea to season them before the first use. Seasoning makes them naturally non-stick. Seasoning is super easy to do—check out the video in the photos to see how.
- You have a pan for life! You can scrub it with a soft sponge or steel wool if needed to remove stuck-on food, and it won't harm the pan (there's no non-stick coating to damage). The pan may turn black, either completely or in patches. Don't worry—darker pans perform better!
- If rust spots appear, simply rub them with a paper towel and oil, and they'll disappear as if by magic. For larger rust areas, use steel wool. It won't harm the pan, as it's entirely made of iron.
- If you need to scrub it or just feel like it, you can re-season it, though it's not necessary to do so regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about De Buyer Mineral B Iron Wok
What's the difference between the traditional and the domed wok?
The traditional one has a narrow base and a deeply concave shape, perfect for Asian-style stir-frying. The domed one, available in 24 and 28 cm, has a wider base: it's more stable, easier to fill and also works as a deep frying pan for gently softening vegetables with very little oil.
Does it work on induction and ceramic hobs?
Yes, on all hobs. On induction and ceramic hobs, the domed design, with its wider base, makes better use of the heat. The base of the traditional wok ranges from 8.8 cm (24 cm) to 12 cm (40 cm).
Which size should I choose?
For 1-2 people, the 24 cm; for 3-4, the 28 or 32 cm, better too big than too small. The 40 cm is for large quantities. The 32 and 40 cm woks have a helper handle.
Does it need seasoning before use?
Yes, just once, before first use. It leaves the factory with a protective coat of beeswax, and seasoning it with oil starts the patina that will gradually make it non-stick. You'll find the step-by-step in our seasoning and care guide.
Why does food stick?
Because the non-stick layer builds up with use, not with seasoning. For the first few weeks, heat the wok gradually over a medium heat, use a little more oil and don't move the food until it releases on its own. The more you use it, the better it gets.
Can I leave the food in it once it's cooked?
Better not. Serve the food when it's done or move it to another dish, especially if it contains tomato, wine, vinegar, lemon or curry-type sauces: acids and moisture attack the patina, can darken the sauce and give it an iron taste.
How do I clean it?
With water, a little washing-up liquid and a soft sponge; if anything has stuck, you can use a scouring pad without worrying. Dry it straight away and wipe it with a thin layer of oil. It isn't dishwasher safe and shouldn't be left to soak.
Is it normal for it to turn black?
Yes, and it's a good sign. The dark, uneven colour is the patina, which improves the non-stick effect and protects it from rust. The blacker it gets, the better it cooks.
Does the handle get hot?
Yes, because it's made of iron. Use an oven glove or the De Buyer handle cover.
Can it go in the oven?
Yes, for up to 10 minutes at 200 °C.
How much does it weigh?
1.4 kg for the 24 cm, 1.76 kg for the 28 cm, 2 kg for the 32 cm and 2.75 kg for the 40 cm.
