Wok Pan Berretti Tivano 28 cm — 28 cm diameter carbon steel cooking wok

Berretti Tivano 28 cm wok pan is a carbon steel cooking wok with a 28 cm diameter designed for high-heat frying, stir-frying and sautéing. Its deep curved shape and thin-walled carbon steel construction enable rapid heat transfer and concentrated heat at the cooking surface, making it suitable for searing meats, quickly cooking vegetables and preparing Asian-style dishes. The pan is intended for stovetop use and provides a roomy cooking area while allowing for easy tossing of ingredients.

Advantages

The carbon steel body heats up quickly and responds fast to temperature changes, offering precise heat control for high-temperature techniques. The 28 cm diameter provides a balance between capacity and maneuverability on most stovetops. The deep, rounded profile helps retain moisture and reduces splatter while enabling efficient stirring and tossing. The relatively thin material keeps the pan lightweight compared with heavier cast-iron alternatives.

Suitable for

• Stir-frying vegetables, rice or noodles
• High-heat searing of meat and seafood
• Sautéing aromatics and making pan sauces
• Quick one-pan meals and stir-fries for 2–4 servings

Key specifications

• Material: carbon steel
• Diameter: 28 cm cooking surface
• Shape: deep, rounded wok profile
• Intended use: stovetop cooking
• Heat behavior: rapid heat transfer and quick response to temperature changes

How to use

Preheat the wok over medium-high heat before adding a small amount of oil to prevent sticking and ensure even searing. Use suitable utensils, such as wooden, silicone or metal spatulas compatible with carbon steel, to stir and toss ingredients. For best results with stir-fries, cook in small batches to avoid overcrowding and preserve high surface temperature. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly before washing; hand washing and drying immediately will help maintain the surface.

Usage recommendations

Season the carbon steel wok before first use by coating the interior with a thin layer of neutral oil and heating it until a darkened patina forms. Regular seasoning and proper drying after washing will improve non-stick properties and protect the pan from rust. Avoid prolonged soaking and dishwashers to preserve the material and seasoning layer.
