Zinox Clad Tri-Ply Wok with Glass Lid, PFAS-Free Non-Stick, Induction Compatible

Non-stick without PFAS or PTFE

Nothing sticks, and there are no forever chemicals in the cooking surface. The G7X ceramic coating is built up in seven layers and reinforced with titanium, so the release lasts instead of thinning out after a season.

Stir-fry and sear without sticking

The interior is laser-etched into a honeycomb. The raised ridges are bare 18/10 stainless steel and do the browning; the ceramic sits in the valleys between them so nothing catches. Meat and vegetables take colour on contact and still move freely when you toss them.

Even heat right up the sides of the wok

Fully clad tri-ply: a pure aluminium core between an 18/10 stainless steel interior and a 430 magnetic stainless exterior, bonded edge to edge to the rim rather than stopping at a disc under the base. Heat spreads fast and climbs the walls, so the whole bowl cooks, not just a circle in the middle. That matters most on induction, where the hob heats only the base. It also needs less heat than you are used to.

Flat base for every hob including induction, and the oven to 260°C

The base is flat, so the wok sits steady on induction and ceramic glass hobs, where a round-bottomed wok cannot. The 430 magnetic stainless exterior means induction hobs read it properly, and gas and electric behave the same. The wok body is oven-safe to 260°C. The glass lid is oven-safe to 150°C, so take the lid off above that.

A weighted glass lid with a steam vent

The lid makes the wok a braiser as well: stir-fry, add a splash of stock, cover and let it simmer. The glass is tempered and weighted, so it sits down properly and holds heat and moisture in. The vent lets steam escape instead of lifting the lid, and you can check on the food without lifting it.

A hollow long handle and a helper handle, both riveted

The long handle is a hollow stainless tube rather than a solid bar, and the air inside slows the heat coming up from the wok, so it stays cooler on the hob. Opposite it, a loop helper handle lets you lift a full wok with both hands. Both are riveted to the body rather than welded, which is what stops them working loose over years of tossing and lifting.

Easy to clean, and dishwasher-safe

Warm water and a soft sponge after a meal is usually enough. The wok is dishwasher-safe, though washing by hand is gentler on the ceramic and keeps the release working longer. The hexagonal surface tolerates a metal wok spatula, since the steel ridges meet it before the ceramic does. Use one with a wide edge, and avoid knives, forks and other pointed utensils, which can still reach the ceramic and scratch it.

Care

Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended for regular use, in warm water with a mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge. For stubborn residue, soak for 10 to 15 minutes, then clean with a non-scratch sponge. Avoid bleach and strong detergents. Do not store food in the wok. A little oil wiped over the surface now and then keeps the non-stick at its best.

Safety. Always handle hot cookware with oven gloves. Use low to medium heat only. The glass lid is oven-safe to 150°C, the wok body to 260°C. With metal utensils, use a wide-edged spatula; forks and knives can scratch the ceramic.

Warranty

Three-year manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects; excludes excessive heat, improper storage, and pointed or sharp utensils.
