Demeyere 12" Stainless Steel Wok Stir-Fry Pan
Our 12" stainless steel wok brings restaurant-quality stir-frying to your home kitchen. Engineered with our proprietary 7-ply Silvinox® base, this wok delivers exceptional heat distribution from rim to base—eliminating cold spots that compromise texture and flavor.
Unlike traditional carbon steel woks, our demeyere wok combines the high-heat performance professional chefs demand with the easy-care convenience of stainless steel. The 18/10 stainless interior resists staining and won't react with acidic ingredients, while our TriplInduc® technology ensures compatibility with all cooktops including induction.
The gently sloped sides and 12-inch diameter provide ample room for tossing vegetables, searing proteins, and mastering classic stir-fry techniques. We've designed this wok for cooks who refuse to compromise between performance and practicality.

7-Ply Construction & Heat Distribution
The demeyere wok features our advanced 7-ply base technology that extends heat distribution across the entire cooking surface, not just the center. Traditional woks concentrate heat at the bottom, creating hot spots that burn food while leaving ingredients near the sides undercooked.
Our Silvinox® surface treatment creates a silver-white finish that resists fingerprints and maintains its appearance without polishing. The electrochemical process removes iron and impurities from the steel surface, making the wok naturally stain-resistant and easier to clean than conventional stainless cookware.
12-Inch Size & Cooking Capacity
The 12-inch diameter strikes the ideal balance between cooking capacity and stovetop maneuverability. With a 3.2-quart volume, this wok accommodates four generous servings of stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, or protein-based dishes.
The gently sloped sides—a signature of our stir-fry pan design—allow for the tossing motion essential to proper wok cooking while preventing ingredients from escaping over the rim. The shape encourages natural ingredient movement, cycling food from the hot base through the cooler sides for even cooking.
Stainless Steel vs. Carbon Steel Woks
Unlike carbon steel woks that require seasoning and careful hand-washing, our stainless steel wok is fully dishwasher-safe and maintenance-free. The 18/10 stainless interior won’t react with tomatoes, wine, citrus, or other acidic ingredients that can strip seasoning from carbon steel.
The demeyere wok delivers the high-heat performance of traditional woks without the upkeep burden. You can sear at temperatures exceeding 450°F, then deglaze with wine or vinegar without damaging the cooking surface. The material won’t rust, corrode, or develop patina over time.
