Avoid if you value your health
This was a disaster of a product. One use only and loads of the non stick coating had come off. Was careful to only use plastic tools as well.

Cheap wok
Really really poor quality I used it once for chow mein and the coating was coming off when I wiped it afterwards it went straight in the bin so don’t bother It was £9 so you get what you pay for

Lightweight, heats fast, a joy to cook with
Very satisfied with this carbon steel wok. The size is just right — not too big, not too small. It heats up quickly, so meat and vegetables sear nicely without getting soggy. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and the grip feels secure. Cleaning is simple with a bit of care.

Rubbish
Used it twice, non- stick peeled away. Only used wood/plastic utensils.

Terrible! Starts peeling immediately
I read the reviews before buying this and noticed several people talking about the non-stick coating starting to peel after a few uses. I figured that maybe they were unlucky or had not used it properly so I thought I’d give it a go myself. Well mine started peeling during the very first use, despite reading and following the instructions and being extra careful with the (wooden) utensils. You can see from the photo several small spots of silver where the coating has come away and into the food. Will be returning it. Don’t waste your time.

Immediately chipped and rusted
Bought less than a month ago - used a couple of times and already had to throw away as the top layer has come off and the pan has rusted

Hello Mark. Our supplier advise that the Argos Home 30cm Carbon Steel Wok is an aluminium wok with a carbon steel non-stick coating so it is both components. I hope this helps.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Lady G,
The supplier has advised the following for the Home 30cm Carbon Steel Wok:
“ The non-stick coating used is a PTFE based heat resistant non-stick coating. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Rob
Re: Argos Home 30cm Carbon Steel Wok 808/7245
The depth of the wok is 8.6cm.
Thanks for using Q & A
i agree with the previous questioner. A carbon steel wok must not have a non stick coating as it would make it impossible to season.
Hi Gazza
Having checked with the supplier for you I can let you know they say " some carbon steel pans may not have non stick coating on the pan. However, all of our carbon steel pans do have non-stick coating"
Thanks for using Q & A
Hi there
Having checked with the supplier for you I can let you know it doesn't have to be seasoned - but they feel if you do season it - it will give a better performance
Thanks for using Q & A
This pan already has a non stick coating on it. No need to season. It does not recommend it in the instructions.
Hello dc647a,
I can confirm this is a carbon steel wok.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Argos Q and A.
You can’t use metal utensils on it and it doesn’t get as hot as a stainless steel wok. I’d recommend buying a stainless steel uncoated wok personally as these get much hotter.
Hello Sonia,
The diameter of the base of this wok is 112mm.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Argos Q and A.
This pan has a non stick coating on it. You cannot heat it to high temperatures because of this. I do not know what the non stick coating is made from.
Hi Dan,
The Argos Home 30cm Carbon Steel Wok is made of durable carbon steel. Nonstick pans are not suitable for stir-frying because food simply doesn't sear or caramelize as well as when you use carbon-steel. The coating is not Teflon.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Argos Q & A
