Thicker steel, steadier heat. A 35cm 3mm nöni wok that holds temperature when the food goes in, Australian-made and dishwasher safe.
Australia
The 35cm Stainless Steel Wok from the nöni™ range by Solidteknics is a dual-handle, flat-bottom wok wrought in Sydney, Australia from a single 3mm sheet of non-nickel stainless steel. It holds 6 litres, weighs 3kg and works on induction as well as every other heat source. There are no coatings, no rivets, no nickel and no seasoning to maintain.
Stainless woks are usually pressed from thin sheet. Thin metal heats fast, which sounds good until you tip a kilo of cold food into it and the temperature collapses. What follows is steaming rather than stir-frying, and it is the most common reason a home stir-fry comes out grey and wet.
This wok is wrought from 3mm steel and weighs 3kg. It takes longer to come up to heat, and that is the trade. In exchange it holds its temperature when the food goes in, which is what browning, searing and a proper stir-fry depend on. The dual handles are there because of that weight, and because tossing a full 6 litre wok needs two points of grip.
Yes. The base is flat with a 16cm stove contact zone, so it sits flush on an induction hob and heats across the full base. Non-nickel stainless steel is magnetic, so no adaptor plate or wok ring is needed. Traditional round-bottom woks cannot work on induction, because the curved base never makes proper contact with the flat surface.
Compatible heat sources:
The wok is wrought from one 3mm-thick sheet of non-nickel stainless steel. The alloy contains no nickel, and the pan carries no synthetic coating of any kind: no PTFE, no PFOA, no PFAS, and no aluminium core. Because it is formed in a single piece, there are no rivets, screws or welds between the cooking surface and the two handles. Nothing can loosen and there is nowhere for food to lodge.
Dual handles balance the load, which matters at 6 litres and is what makes the tossing motion of wok cooking possible at this size. Each pan is stamped with the month and year it was made.
The 6 litre bowl and non-reactive surface make this a good deal more than a stir-fry pan.
Because the steel is non-reactive, acidic and liquid-heavy dishes are no problem. It will not rust, has no seasoning to strip, and will not put a metallic taste into food.
No. There is no seasoning layer to build or maintain, and no rust risk if it is left wet. It is dishwasher safe, and the seamless one-piece body means there are no joins to trap residue. Carbon steel woks, by contrast, need seasoning from new and re-seasoning whenever a saucy dish strips the surface.
Most stainless woks sold in Australia are imported, riveted, thin and nickel-bearing. Most authentic woks are carbon steel that must be seasoned and rusts on contact with water. The 35cm nöni™ Stainless Steel Wok is a single sheet of 3mm wrought non-nickel stainless steel, manufactured in Sydney, with a flat induction-compatible base, dual seamless handles, a date stamp from the month it was made, and a multi-century warranty. It is one of very few seamless, non-nickel, coating-free, induction-compatible family-sized stainless woks made in Australia.
