Titanium Wok with Stainless Steel Lid
Care & Maintenance
This titanium wok is designed for durability, fast heat response, and everyday ease of use. Paired with a stainless steel lid, it offers versatility for stir-frying, steaming, and simmering.
Before First Use
- Wash the wok and lid with warm water and mild detergent to remove any residue from manufacturing.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
- Lightly heat the wok and wipe a small amount of cooking oil over the surface, then wipe clean. This step is optional and helps improve initial cooking performance.
Everyday Cleaning
Titanium Wok
- Allow the wok to cool before washing.
- Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge.

Stainless Steel Lid
- Wash with warm water and mild detergent.
- For marks or stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or baking soda paste.
- Dry thoroughly to prevent water spotting.
Cooking Recommendations
- Preheat the wok before adding oil or ingredients.
- Use medium to high heat; titanium responds quickly to temperature changes.
- Always cook with a small amount of oil, as the surface is not non-stick.
- Avoid heating the wok empty for extended periods.
- Use the lid to retain moisture when steaming or simmering.
Storage
- Store in a clean, dry environment.
- Ensure both wok and lid are completely dry before storing.
- If stacking, place a soft cloth between items to prevent scratches.
Troubleshooting

Improve preheating and use adequate oil before adding ingredients.

Color changes from heat are normal and do not affect performance.

Wipe dry immediately after washing to maintain appearance.
Important Notes
- Titanium is naturally corrosion-resistant and will not rust.
