Unlike modern machine-made pans, this small wok is naturally uncoated and strictly uses natural Pine Smoke (soot) as a mold release agent—absolutely no PTFE, PFOA, or chemical synthetics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique \"Breathing\" Texture - Not a Defect: You may notice distinctive crack-like patterns (Tortoise Shell) and tiny pores on the surface. These are NOT cracks or defects but the signature of handcrafted casting. These natural pores absorb oil during seasoning, creating a natural non-stick patina over time that improves with every use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Pine Soot Finish - No Synthetic Chemicals:The dark matte finish is derived from Natural Pine Soot, a traditional plant-based mold release agent used in authentic iron casting. It is NOT a chemical paint or Teflon coating. You may see some black residue during the initial wash; this is normal carbonization from the high-temperature kiln process. Simply scrub it away and season the wok to reveal the pure iron surface ready for cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile Flat Bottom \u0026amp; Compact Design: Designed for modern kitchens, the stable flat base sits perfectly on Gas, Electric, Induction, and Ceramic stoves. With a 9.5-inch diameter and 2.5-quart capacity, it’s the ideal size for 1-2 person meals, frying eggs, or small stir-frys without the heaviness of a large wok.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance is Key - Seasoning Required: As pure cast iron, this wok requires maintenance to prevent rust. It ships with a protective vegetable oil layer—wash this off with warm soapy water, dry completely on the stove, and apply a thin layer of oil (Seasoning) immediately. Not Dishwasher Safe. Treat it well, and it will last a lifetime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Orveliq","offers":[{"title":"9.5 Inch","offer_id":52012623233253,"sku":"B0FGJCBF6R","price":56.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/2253\/5141\/files\/b157506ab8e6e853ca9ac7381f10281d.jpg?v=1786248592","url":"https:\/\/orveliq.com\/products\/9-5-inch-small-cast-iron-wok-with-lid-handcrafted-tortoise-shell-texture-uncoated-stir-fry-pan-flat-bottom-wok-for-electric-induction-gas-stoves-2-5-quart-requires-seasoning","provider":"Orveliq","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
