Why choose stainless steel woks?
Stainless steel woks are a practical choice for cooks who want durable cookware for regular stir-fry use. In this collection, stainless steel pairs with induction suitability, making these woks a good fit for modern cooktops. For buyers comparing materials, the PFAS-free and PFOA-free filters also make this range relevant if you are looking beyond coated non-stick cookware.
How to choose the right wok
The main choices on this page are size and configuration. A 32cm wok is often the easier everyday option for smaller households and weeknight cooking, while a 36cm wok gives you more room for larger batches and easier tossing during stir-fry. You can also choose the format that suits your cooking style:
- With lid: useful if you want extra flexibility for covered cooking
- Open wok: ideal for quick access and fast stir-fry cooking
- Without lid: a simple option for buyers who do not need a covered setup

FAQs about stainless steel woks
Are these stainless steel woks suitable for induction cooktops?
Yes, the stainless steel woks in this collection are marked as induction suitable, so they are designed to work with induction cooktops as well as other common stovetops. That makes them a practical option if you want a wok that fits a modern kitchen setup without needing to narrow your search to gas-only cookware.
What's the difference between the SCANPAN Impact wok and the SCANPAN STS wok on this page?
The main visible difference on this page is the range and configuration rather than a detailed performance claim. The collection includes SCANPAN Impact options with and without lids, plus an STS wok without a lid, so the most useful comparison here is to choose by size and whether you want covered cooking as part of your routine.
Should I choose a wok with a lid or an open wok for home stir-fry cooking?
Choose a wok with a lid if you want more flexibility beyond stir-frying, such as covering food briefly to trap heat or finish ingredients more gently. An open wok is better if your cooking is mainly fast tossing and high-heat stir-fry, where easy access and quick evaporation matter more than covered cooking.
Is stainless steel a good choice for stir-frying, or should I only be looking at non-stick?
Yes, stainless steel can be a strong choice for stir-frying, especially if you want durability, induction compatibility and a PFAS-free/PFOA-free cookware option. Buyers often assume a wok must be non-stick, but stainless steel appeals to shoppers who want a robust cooking surface from a trusted cookware brand such as SCANPAN.
How do I choose between the 32cm and 36cm wok sizes?
A 32cm wok is typically the easier everyday choice for smaller households, lighter meals and kitchens where storage space matters. A 36cm wok gives you a larger cooking surface for bigger batches, which can be useful if you cook for more people or want extra room for tossing ingredients during stir-fry.
