The De Buyer Mineral B Bois Wok is a 28 cm carbon steel wok featuring a natural beechwood handle. Constructed from 1.5 mm thick carbon steel without toxic coatings, this cookware develops a natural patina over time that provides non-stick properties. The wok is suitable for all cooktops including induction and can withstand high temperatures up to 250 °C in conventional ovens. The ergonomic handle combines steel with sustainably sourced beechwood, remaining cool during cooking and secured with permanent riveting. Made in France from health-safe materials, this carbon steel wok excels at Asian cooking techniques requiring minimal oil. The cooking surface promotes Maillard reactions for optimal flavor development through natural caramelization while maintaining food tenderness. Before initial use, the wok requires seasoning with oil to establish the protective patina layer. Care involves hand washing with warm water and mild detergent, thorough drying, and light oil application after each use. The durable construction resists deformation, impact damage, and sudden temperature changes, making this a long-lasting kitchen tool that improves with regular use.
