FYI this is supposedly "nitrided carbon steel" in which there is (supposedly) no chemical coating for the non-stick layer, rather it's a pre-seasoned layer of oil formed by heating the wok to high temperatures. It's hard to gauge whether these are actually nitrided if you're worried about teflon etc.
On a side note, the wooden handle is not good quality - starts peeling off after a couple of washes.

Those reviewers don't know how to cook on carbon steel properly then. This pan does not *have* a nonstick layer. It is nitrided carbon steel. Nitride is not a layer. It is a treatment of the carbon steel.

The pan requires all the same care that cast iron or regular carbon steel does. It requires regular seasoning, and good temperature control.

I don't think Teflon is a legitimate concern here. It either has a layer of PFOA / PFAS or it doesn't. Nitriding the steel Is merely the injection of nitrogen gas into the steel, increasing its density, towards the top where the food is touching. It isn't intended to be anywhere near as non-stick as Teflon, It just gives the oil and food particles less wide pores to fall into as the pan heats up. It requires slightly less maintenance than traditional carbon steel, and will be a bit rust resistant but not rust proof then traditional carbon steel.

Whether it's nitrided or not, there is an expectation your regularly seasoning and oiling the pan.

for this work, do you just cook daily to keep food touching side seasoned or still need to oil season outside frequently?
looking for 36cm carbon steel wok, would consider those options if nitrite treatment saves some maintenance chore

If you cook regularly, the pan would remain season to normally. You would not have to strip and oil regularly unless a long time went by without using it.

Since most people don't use woks daily, I would say not to buy a carbon steel wok because of the maintenance it requires.

But let's be clear about one thing. This pan does not have a non-stick, "coating" of any kind.

How do you know they aren't just saying it's nitrided but is actually coated with PFOA/PFAS? I'd rather use a nitrided CS wok than my regular seasoned one as it's less maintenance, but it's hard to know if these listings are truthful in saying it's nitrided.

Apart from the fact that the Amazon reviews are full of people upset with the out of the box non-stick performance, I simply don't believe it's possible in 2026 for a cookware company to pie about the chemicals they're using. Bringing a product to market is a multimillion dollar operation, requires the purchase of product liability insurance, and multiple stakeholders all who can be held accountable.

Nitriding the carbon steel doesn't mean you don't have to season it. All nitride does is inject some nitrogen bubbles into the carbon steel. It increases the density of the steel where the nitrogen has penetrated. This makes for smaller pores opening up in the metal as it gets hot. So your food is a little less likely to stick because it can't seep in to those pores because there's so much smaller. It's still going to stick, and still requires a nice layer of seasoning. The nonstick property of nitrided carbon steel is GREATLY exaggerated. Everyone who cooks on nitrided carbon steel has to season it, or they assume it's defective and they throw it out. Misen Cookware has a small riot on their hands because their nitrided pan isn't non-stick at all. People have been furious.

Then don't advertise it as nonstick

Once you use a cast iron or carbon steel you will soon realize it's non stick abilities blows the doors off of any non stick pan out there. The more you use it the better at non sticking it gets. I got a carbon steel pan last year and it's been amazing. It's just about the same weight as other non stick pans and it's soooo much better. I think you need to try one before you make a comment like that.

Just realized this is a wok. I would have totally been down if this was a normal cooking pan.

even if you cook regularly, only the food touching side gets oiled. the heat/stove bearing side is still dry and can rust without frequent explicit re-oiling?
I know there is no non-stick coating on these. was wondering if nitrite treatment would reduce the maintenance required like less frequent oiling of the heat/stove side. sounds like it doesn't
