Cookpal Kanton Wok by REN (27cm – 36cm)

Handcrafted in Japan. Built for Precision Cooking.

The Cookpal Kanton Wok by REN is a premium, handcrafted carbon steel wok manufactured in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture—the heart of Japanese steel craftsmanship. Developed by Yoshikawa Co., this wok features a specially nitrided iron construction for superior rust resistance, longevity, and cooking performance.

Designed for stir-frying, steaming, and searing, the Kanton Wok is naturally non-stick after seasoning and contains no synthetic coatings or chemicals. Each pan undergoes a special thermal treatment that enhances durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining the integrity of your food’s flavour.

Why Choose the Kanton Wok?
The Kanton Wok combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. Its spun carbon steel body distributes heat evenly and reacts quickly to changes in temperature, making it ideal for high-heat stir-frying. The dark matte finish is the result of a heat treatment that also makes the surface more corrosion-resistant and flavourful over time.
