7-Ply Construction & Silvinox® Technology
The Demeyere Apollo wok features our proprietary 7-layer construction that sandwiches five layers of aluminum between two layers of 18/10 stainless steel. This configuration delivers the thermal responsiveness professional chefs expect while maintaining the durability and non-reactive properties of stainless steel.
Our exclusive Silvinox® surface treatment uses an electrochemical process to remove iron and impurities from the steel’s surface, creating a silvery-white finish that resists fingerprints, staining, and discoloration. Unlike traditional stainless cookware that dulls over time, your Apollo wok maintains its mirror-bright appearance meal after meal, year after year.
32cm Cooking Surface & Flat-Base Design
Generous Capacity for Everyday Cooking
At 32cm in diameter, this wok offers 4.2 liters of cooking capacity—enough to stir-fry vegetables for six or sear a whole chicken with aromatics. The sloped sides replicate the shape of traditional carbon steel woks while the flat base provides the stability modern cooktops require.
Universal Cooktop Compatibility
Unlike round-bottomed woks that wobble on flat surfaces, the Demeyere Apollo wok sits firmly on induction, gas, electric coil, and ceramic cooktops. The flat induction base measures 22cm across, ensuring maximum energy transfer on induction burners. If you’re comparing options for different cooking surfaces, our complete cookware collection includes both flat and traditional base configurations for every kitchen setup.
Care Instructions & Maintenance
Your Apollo 7 wok arrives ready to use—no seasoning required. Simply wash with warm soapy water before first use and dry thoroughly. The Silvinox® finish eliminates the reactive surface found in aluminum and copper cookware, so you can cook acidic ingredients like tomatoes and vinegar without worrying about metallic flavors or discoloration.
While the Demeyere Apollo wok is dishwasher safe, hand washing with non-abrasive sponges preserves the mirror finish. For stubborn residue after high-heat cooking, use a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. The welded handles can withstand oven temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) for finishing dishes under the broiler.

Your Questions About the Apollo 7 Wok Answered
No seasoning is necessary. The Silvinox®-treated stainless steel cooking surface is ready to use after a simple wash with warm soapy water.
Unlike carbon steel woks that need regular seasoning maintenance, the Apollo wok maintains its non-reactive properties permanently. Simply preheat the wok properly before cooking and use adequate oil to prevent sticking.
Yes, the Apollo wok is fully induction compatible. The flat base measures 22cm across and features a ferromagnetic steel layer that works efficiently with induction burners.
The 7-ply construction ensures even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface, not just the induction contact zone. It also works perfectly on gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen cooktops.
The primary difference is layer construction. The Apollo features 7-ply construction (two more aluminum layers than the Industry 5), providing slightly faster heat response and more even temperature distribution.
Both woks have Silvinox® treatment and induction compatibility. The Apollo series represents our premium line with enhanced thermal performance, while Industry 5 offers excellent quality at a lower price point.
Proper preheating is essential. Heat the demeyere apollo wok over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes before adding oil. Test readiness by flicking a drop of water into the pan—it should form a ball and roll around.
Add oil and swirl to coat the surface, then heat until the oil shimmers but doesn't smoke. Add ingredients to the hot oiled surface and avoid moving them immediately—let proteins develop a sear before tossing. The 7-ply construction provides consistent heat that naturally releases food when properly seared.
Yes, the wok is oven-safe up to 230°C (446°F) including the welded stainless steel handles. This makes it suitable for finishing dishes under the broiler or keeping food warm in a low oven.
Avoid sudden temperature changes like transferring a hot wok directly into cold water, as thermal shock can warp even high-quality cookware over time.
Every Apollo wok includes our lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when used under normal cooking conditions. This covers warping, delamination of the 7-ply layers, and handle integrity.
The warranty does not cover surface scratches from metal utensils, discoloration from overheating empty pans, or damage from dropping. We manufacture each piece in Belgium and stand behind the quality with full replacement or repair for manufacturing defects.
For daily cleaning, wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge, then dry immediately. The wok is dishwasher safe, though hand washing preserves the mirror finish longer.
For stubborn residue or rainbow discoloration from high heat, use a stainless steel cleaner or make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply with a soft cloth in circular motions, rinse thoroughly, and dry. The Silvinox treatment prevents permanent staining, so even heavily used woks can be restored to like-new appearance.
