Natural non-stick patina
The MAKO Black Steel 14 Wok will develop a natural non-stick patina layer over time. It was designed to do this. The patina will continue to improve the performance and ability to impart that distinctive wok flavour.
Pre-seasoned
The MAKO Black Steel 14 Wok is crafted using pre-seasoned black carbon steel for ultimate performance.
It can often take years to develop a proper seasoning on a plain carbon steel surface. By pre-seasoning the MAKO Black Steel 14, we’ve accelerated the seasoning process. Meaning your wok will perform as it should – immediately – straight out of the box.
Intelligent design
Heavy-duty design with comfortable handle shape and double pouring spout.
The weight and thickness of the MAKO Wok has also been refined for optimal temperature control – the critical component of serious wok cooking.
Suitable for all cooktops
Because of the flat bottom, the MAKO Wok works on all stovetops, including induction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a patina?
One of the best parts of owning a MAKO Wok is the natural patina that will build over time on the surface of your wok. This adds flavour, increases the natural non-stick ability and enhances the cooking experience. Each time you use your wok, this patina will build further.
To maintain your patina, it is important to carefully follow our cleaning and aftercare instructions.
What does patina look like?
As your patina builds, you will see your wok transform. Instead of the matte black finish you saw fresh out of the box, your wok will develop shiny, silvery and burnished qualities. This is the desirable look and finish.
What stovetops does the wok work on?
Because of the flat bottom, it works on all stovetops, including induction.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No! Please don’t put your MAKO in the dishwasher as this will damage both the wood handles and the patina layer. The Mako is very easy to clean with our handy wok brush.
Why is the wok pre-seasoned? What does this mean?
It can often take years to develop a proper seasoning on a plain carbon steel surface and be quite difficult to achieve. By pre-seasoning the MAKO Black Steel 14, we’ve accelerated the seasoning process. Meaning your wok will perform as it should – immediately – straight out of the box.
How do we pre-season the wok?
Our unique black steel is created using natural oils and heat treatment to create the natural, chemical-free, pre-seasoned wok.

My partner purchased the wok set previously years ago when it didn’t come with a lid and always found my send using something else in the kitchen to cover the wok but was never large enough.

Good solid lid. I’m a bit worried about the wooden handle deterioration over time.
