Why is the choice of materials so important for our kitchen utensils?
As with our Quechua cooksets, we have chosen an 18/8 (304) stainless steel body, renowned for its durability, corrosion resistance and food safety. Combined with an aluminium base for even heat distribution and a ceramic coating that makes cooking easier, it allows you to prepare your meals efficiently whilst making cleaning up at the campsite a breeze.
Why a non-stick coating?
To cook hassle-free out in nature! The PTFE Xylan+ coating ensures non-stick cooking, even with only a little bit of oil. Durable, easy to clean, guaranteed to be PFOA-free. Used with soft utensils, it’ll stay by your side for a long time to come. Ideal for cooking light… and eating healthily!
How do you use your wok at a camp site?
This wok can be used with all types of heat source: gas, wood, induction hobs and even a barbecue. It has two folding handles for compact storage and easy handling.
Caution: if you use it on a camp fire or over open flame, the handles can heat up. We advise you to use gloves or a kitchen cloth to pick it up safely.
How do you clean and care for your wok?
Before first use, rinse three times in clean water.
After use, wash with soapy water then dry before storing in a dry place.
Thanks to its ceramic coating, this wok is easy to clean after use. It is dishwasher-safe.
Is there anything you specifically shouldn’t do with your wok?
Yes, to preserve its lifespan and performance:
– Never heat it up while empty, especially on high flame: this will damage the coating and reduce its lifespan.
– Avoid using metal utensils such as stainless steel forks and spatulas: rather opt for wood or soft plastic.
– Do not scrape it with scouring sponges: all it needs is a wash in warm, soapy water.
– Finally, in case of a wood fire, avoid direct flames reaching the handles, they can heat up quickly.
