Small Woks are shipping August 31st 2025.

The typical wok is lousy for home cooking. With a round bottom that doesn’t heat on a flat American burner, poorly conductive steel and low-quality construction, most woks don’t perform well enough to be worth the storage space. 

That is why we introduced the Milk Street Hammered Wok. The broad diameter wok is designed for big batches, ideally for four or more main-course servings. But what about smaller batches, side dishes and sauces, or when cooking for one or two? Then smaller is better.

Meet Milk Street’s tried-and-true wok design in a new compact version. Its 10.5-inch diameter provides just enough real estate for smaller jobs in an easy-to-store package. It’s perfect for cooking smaller batches or cooking for just one or two.

With high-quality carbon steel construction, an oversized handle for better control, a special dimpled surface for nonstick cooking and a tight-fitting tempered glass lid, it will last a lifetime, and it’s guaranteed to improve your day-to-day cooking.

Care and Use 

Use: Use on gas, electric, or induction stovetops.
Care: Not dishwasher-safe.
Use care when cooking with acidic foods and avoid wet cooking methods, like simmering, braising and stewing. Prolonged exposure to acidity can cause reactions with the metal that can cause food discoloration and off flavors. Carbon steel also needs to stay oiled. Like cast iron, you must dry it completely and lightly oil it after washing.

Seasoning Instructions: Carbon-steel woks must be seasoned before use. Scrub them aggressively with hot soapy water and a scrub brush.
-Set the pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then use a paper towel to spread the oil in a thin, even layer over the pan.
-Leave the pan over the heat until it smokes. Hold it at this stage for 1 minute, then use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully wipe the pan clean of oil.
-Repeat the second and third steps until the pan develops a golden brown patina, 3 to 5 repetitions.
