Woks

Woks made from bare carbon steel or cast iron with no nonstick coating to break down at high heat.

Wok cooking concentrates intense heat on the pan, temperatures at which PTFE coatings can degrade and release particles or fumes into the food. Bare carbon steel and cast iron season with use instead of shedding coating material.
