Ultimate Camping Pan! 12" Carbon steel wok!

[Dave in AZ]

This is my new camping pan. I use a wok all the time, but a normal 14" wok is heavy, too large to camp, etc. But this 12" one with a wide 8" flat bottom is perfect!

I have 10 or so $120 All-Clad non-sticks, quality pans of all sorts, and this 12" wok is by far the best for camping.

This 12" Wok by Joyce Chen was highly rated by several tests for best Wok, as well as best Carbon Steel Pan. It is a great size for one-hand use, smaller and lighter than a normal 14" wok.

At just $24, this in a great pan, destined to be my #1 Camping pan! Easy to clean, useful for frying, stir fry, soup, stew, boiling. Light, large, stands up to metal utensils and harsh use, and can be re-made non-stick in a couple minutes at camp. I've tested it for boiling, fried eggs, bacon, steak, all worked well and easy to clean.

Here is a quick video I made showing how to season it to non-stick in a few minutes, and frying some eggs, bacon etc.


I don't have video using itnon my Coleman stoves yet, or hanging in my truck camper, will do soon. Highly recommend!

carbon steel cookware is the way.
lodge has really good carbon steel pans that are every bit as good as their cast iron but a lot lighter
i bought one of their large pans and love it and then bought the smaller 8" one for camping. carbon steel puts a sear on SPAM unlike any other material known to man...

Seems like for a lightweight pan there are a lot of options. I did some experimenting on my induction as recommended by Juulpowered (thanks!) and it seems my induction is going to be kind to the pan, and has a very distributed coil pattern, so I'm going to try a thin one and see what happens.

I really want to bring a carbon wok, but they require so much heat.
