Our patented Nitrided Carbon Clad® Woks feature a 3-layer clad construction, combining a nitrided carbon steel cooking surface with a responsive aluminum core.
Our wok is intentionally designed to be optimal for Western-style stoves (conventional gas, electric, induction). The shape and material thicknesses are designed to allow heat to concentrate at the base, while still transferring some heat up the sides, just like a traditional round-bottomed wok. This carefully balanced ratio of aluminum and carbon steel layer thicknesses also keeps our woks light, while helping to deliver conventional wok performance without a real wok burner.
What is Nitriding?
Nitrided carbon steel is heat-treated with nitrogen to harden the surface, making it more durable, rust-resistant, and a little less sticky in the beginning compared to plain carbon steel. Nitriding is not a coating, it’s a transformation of the steel’s surface by diffusing nitrogen into the steel.
Just like traditional carbon steel, it will still build seasoning over time and become increasingly stick-resistant as you cook. Nitriding doesn’t make it “super nonstick” right out of the box, but it does make those first few cooks a little easier.

A Wok That Actually Works on Western Stoves
Naturally Stick-Resistant
No PTFE, PFOA, or ceramic coatings. Just carbon steel that becomes naturally stick-resistant as seasoning builds, improving with every cook instead of wearing out over time.
Designed for Any Stove
Strata woks are intentionally designed to be optimal for Western-style stoves which often struggle with traditional solid carbon steel woks (conventional gas, electric, induction).
For More Than Sir-fry
Strata Woks are uniquely suited for more than just stir fry. Their large flat bottom and high walls make them great for everything from high-heat searing to sautéing, frying, braising, and one-pan meals.
Large Capacity
The large capacity is great if you're just looking for a large carbon steel pan. It's great for combining ingredients and mixing in a sauce before serving.
What is Nitriding?
Beginner Friendly
It's easier to season! Think of nitriding kind of like pre-seasoning. The seasoning process of carbon steel is notoriously tricky. Nitriding GREATLY reduces some of that frustration. Making it less sticky when you first get started.
NOT a Coating!
Nitriding is not a coating; it’s a transformation of the steel’s surface by diffusing nitrogen into the steel.
Rust Resistance
Rust forms when iron reacts with oxygen and water. Nitriding changes the steel’s surface by bonding nitrogen with the iron, creating a harder, more stable layer that’s much less prone to rust.
Learning to Season
The KEY to Carbon Steel
Carbon steel builds a naturally stick-resistant cooking surface over time. It takes a little patience at first, but it’s easier than it sounds.
Every pan includes a Quick Start Guide + full care booklet to walk you through seasoning, cooking, cleaning, and everything in between.
Is Strata Right for You?
Nothing's perfect, but... Carbon Clad® might just be exactly what you're looking for.
