Most Searched Non-Stick Wok FAQs (New Zealand)
What makes a non-stick wok ideal for everyday cooking?
A non-stick wok is perfect for everyday cooking in New Zealand kitchens as it requires less oil, heats evenly, and prevents food from sticking. It’s ideal for stir-frying vegetables, noodles, or meat while maintaining flavour and nutrients with minimal cleanup.
Can I use metal utensils on a non-stick wok?
It’s best to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils with your non-stick wok. Metal utensils can scratch the coating, reducing the non-stick performance. Using soft utensils ensures the wok lasts longer and remains easy to clean.
Are non-stick woks safe for high-heat cooking?
Most non-stick woks are designed for medium to medium-high heat cooking. Avoid extremely high heat, as it may damage the coating. For best results, preheat on medium heat before stir-frying your favourite ingredients.
Can non-stick woks be used on induction cooktops?

How do I clean and maintain my non-stick wok?
Allow your wok to cool after use, then wash it with warm soapy water using a soft sponge. Avoid harsh scrubbing or steel wool. Handwashing is recommended, even for dishwasher-safe models, to protect the coating and maintain non-stick performance.
What size wok should I choose for home cooking?
For most New Zealand households, a 28–32 cm wok is the most versatile choice. Smaller sizes suit couples or individuals, while larger ones are perfect for families. Choose based on your cooking needs and the amount of food you usually prepare.
Why should I choose a non-stick wok over a stainless steel one?
