Natural non-stick patina
The MAKO Black Steel 14 Wok will develop a natural non-stick patina layer over time. It was designed to do this. The patina will continue to improve the performance and ability to impart that distinctive wok flavour.
Pre-seasoned
The MAKO Black Steel 14 Wok is crafted using pre-seasoned black carbon steel for ultimate performance.
It can often take years to develop a proper seasoning on a plain carbon steel surface. By pre-seasoning the MAKO Black Steel 14, we’ve accelerated the seasoning process. Meaning your wok will perform as it should – immediately – straight out of the box.
Intelligent design
Heavy-duty design with comfortable handle shape and double pouring spout.
The weight and thickness of the MAKO Wok has also been refined for optimal temperature control – the critical component of serious wok cooking.
Suitable for all cooktops
Because of the flat bottom, the MAKO Wok works on all stovetops, including induction.

Frequently Asked Questions
One of the best parts of owning a MAKO Wok is the natural patina that will build over time on the surface of your wok. This adds flavour, increases the natural non-stick ability and enhances the cooking experience. Each time you use your wok, this patina will build further.
To maintain your patina, it is important to carefully follow our cleaning and aftercare instructions.
As your patina builds, you will see your wok transform. Instead of the matte black finish you saw fresh out of the box, your wok will develop shiny, silvery and burnished qualities. This is the desirable look and finish.
Because of the flat bottom, it works on all stovetops, including induction.
No! Please don’t put your MAKO in the dishwasher as this will damage both the wood handles and the patina layer. The Mako is very easy to clean with our handy wok brush.

NetherlandsMako Wok is fantastic!

AustraliaGreat wok, but there should be a left handed spatula
The wok was a gift for my wife. She loves it and uses it multiple times a week. She's had it for quite some time now and it's aging really well with good care. One issue with the purchase is that the spatula isn't of any use to to my wife as she's left handed, so it's sitting in the drawer un-used. I would have been happy to buy the wok on its own so we could provide our own implements. Otherwise a left handed or straight spatula option would have been great.

It was really great
United StatesThe non stick surface didn’t last and now everything sticks to base
CookDineHost - Canada
Hi Gaylene! That doesn't sound good at all, and certainly not how the wok should function. The wok is free from coating, allowing for resealing and re-seasoning as necessary, which is great as that means you may be able to take some steps to re-season the wok at home. Or we can get you a replacement. In any case, our Customer Experience team will be in touch shortly to see how we can resolve this for you.
SloveniaGreat product
It was a birthday present for my wife. She cooked twice until now and she is happy. Happy wife, happy life.
