Trusted Insights from Priya Sharma
Asian Cuisine Consultant
9 years experience
"When it comes to London woks, you need serious heat and a solid base—don’t settle for anything that can’t handle the sizzle of a proper stir-fry. A good wok should feel like an extension of your arm—fast, responsive, and ready to wok 'n' roll!"
How Commercial London Woks Work
The magic of a London wok lies in its unique curved design and thermal properties. The carbon steel construction heats rapidly and responds instantly to temperature changes—crucial for the quick, high-heat cooking techniques essential in Asian cuisine. As the wok heats, the curved sides create different temperature zones: scorching hot at the bottom for searing meats and vegetables, while the sides remain cooler for pushing ingredients that need less cooking. This temperature gradient, combined with the flicking motion chefs use, creates the coveted 'wok hei'—that smoky, charred essence that's impossible to achieve with flat pans. The rounded bottom is designed to sit perfectly in specialist wok burners, focusing intense heat exactly where it's needed for authentic stir-fry results!
Safety Guidelines
- Watch for Splatter Use splash guards during high-heat cooking—prevents burns.
- Secure Positioning Ensure wok sits properly in range before cooking—prevents tipping.
- Heat Awareness Handle becomes extremely hot—use proper oven gloves.
- Proper Technique Train staff in correct lifting and tossing—avoids strain.
- Controlled Flames Manage gas levels carefully—prevents flare-ups.
- Adequate Ventilation Ensure extraction systems are running—removes smoke.

Top Tips for Using Commercial London Woks
To get the most from your London wok, proper seasoning is crucial—wash with hot water only (no soap) after purchase, then heat until smoking before applying a thin layer of oil. Use metal utensils like a traditional wok spatula for tossing ingredients properly. Always pre-heat your wok before adding oil to prevent sticking, and keep ingredients moving constantly for perfect results. After each service, clean with hot water and a bamboo brush to maintain the seasoned surface—never scrub with steel wool or harsh detergents which strip away the precious patina.
