Cast Iron Wok Pan Petromax gp30-t 30/35 cm, heavy-duty cast-iron cooking pan

The Petromax gp30-t cast iron wok pan is a heavy-duty cooking vessel with a wide 30–35 cm diameter suitable for stovetop and open-fire use. Constructed from thick cast iron, the wok ensures even heat distribution and strong heat retention for frying, sautéing and stir-frying. Its durable surface tolerates high temperatures and direct contact with coals or grill grates, making it practical for home kitchens, camping trips and outdoor cooking situations where a robust pan is required.

Advantages

The cast iron construction provides uniform heating and long heat retention, reducing hot spots and enabling consistent browning. The wok-style curved sides give ample surface area for stir-frying and easy tossing of ingredients while the flat bottom adapts to a variety of heat sources, including gas, electric, ceramic and campfire. Its solid, heavy design increases durability and resistance to warping under high heat. With proper seasoning, the surface becomes naturally non-stick and improves with regular use.

Suitable for

• Stovetop frying and sautéing
• Stir-frying and high-heat searing

How to use

Before first use, wash the pan in warm water, dry thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s seasoning instructions to build a protective cooking layer. Preheat the pan gradually to avoid thermal shock; add oil once the surface is hot to aid in forming and maintaining seasoning. Use appropriate utensils such as metal or wooden spatulas when cooking; avoid sudden large temperature changes like submerging a hot pan in cold water. After use, clean with hot water and a brush or non-abrasive scrubber, dry completely and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rust.

Usage recommendations

For best results, maintain the seasoned surface by regularly cooking fatty foods and treating the pan with a light coating of oil after cleaning. When using over an open flame, place the pan steadily on grill grates or embers and avoid dragging across surfaces to protect the seasoning. Store in a dry place to prevent moisture-related corrosion.
