Welcome to Your New Wok Bundle
Your Fissler Ceratal Comfort ceramic wok 11" bundle is designed to handle everything from quick weeknight stir-fries to one-pan meals. The water-based ceramic nonstick coating (made without added PFAS or PTFE) lets you cook with less oil, and the tempered glass lid helps you monitor food without lifting it. Before your first stir-fry, a few simple steps will help you get the best performance and longevity from this wok.
Unboxing and What to Expect
For shipping efficiency, the wok and glass lid may arrive in separate boxes or shipments. When they arrive, inspect both for any damage. The wok features a seamless, rivet-free interior that helps prevent food buildup, making cleanup easier. The glass lid has a heat-resistant handle and a durable stainless steel rim for a secure fit.
First Use Steps
Follow these steps to prepare your wok for its first meal.
- Wash the wok and lid: Hand wash the wok and glass lid with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents that could damage the ceramic coating.
- Season lightly (optional): While the ceramic nonstick coating does not require traditional seasoning, you can rub a thin layer of cooking oil over the interior surface with a paper towel, then wipe off the excess. This can enhance the nonstick release for the first few uses.
- Heat gradually: Place the wok on your stovetop over medium heat. The exclusive CookStar® base provides fast, even heat distribution on all stovetops, including induction. Avoid high heat initially—ceramic coatings perform best at low to medium temperatures.
- Cook with moderate oil: Add a small amount of oil or cooking spray. The ceramic coating is designed to release food easily, so you need less oil than with traditional nonstick pans. Start with a simple stir-fry to get a feel for the wok's heat response.
- Use the glass lid: The tempered glass lid lets you watch your food steam or simmer without lifting the lid. For stir-frying, you may leave it off; for steaming or simmering, place it on securely. The stainless steel rim helps it fit snugly.

Care and Maintenance Tips
To keep your ceramic wok performing well, hand wash it after each use with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid metal utensils—use silicone, wood, or plastic tools to protect the coating. Do not use cooking sprays that contain propellants, as they can leave a residue that is hard to remove. Store the wok with a soft cloth or paper towel between the pan and lid to prevent scratches.
What This Wok Excels At
The Ceratal Comfort ceramic wok is versatile: stir-frying, sautéing, steaming, and simmering all work well. The high, sloping sides make tossing ingredients easy, and the glass lid is perfect for one-pan meals where you want to steam vegetables or simmer a sauce. Because the coating is nonstick and requires less oil, it is a good choice for lighter cooking.
A Note on the Bundle
The wok and glass lid are sold together as a bundle, so you don't need to search for a compatible lid. The glass lid's heat-resistant handle and stainless steel rim are designed to match the wok's diameter. If your wok and lid arrive in separate shipments, simply unpack both and follow the same first-use steps for each.
