What Customers Ask About the GreenPan Copenhagen Wok
Will this work on my induction hob?
Yes, the GreenPan Copenhagen wok features a Magneto induction base specifically designed for induction hobs. It will also work on gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen hobs. To verify compatibility, ensure your induction hob accommodates 30cm diameter cookware.
What makes the diamond-enhanced coating different from standard non-stick?
The Thermolon Infinity Pro coating incorporates diamond particles, making it more durable and scratch-resistant than standard ceramic non-stick surfaces. This diamond enhancement extends the coating's lifespan whilst maintaining excellent food release properties. The coating is also completely PFAS-free, meaning it won't release harmful chemicals during cooking, even at high temperatures.
Can I use metal utensils with this wok?
Whilst the diamond-enhanced coating is highly durable, we recommend using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to maximise the lifespan of the non-stick surface. Metal utensils may cause scratches over time that could reduce the coating's effectiveness and potentially void the 5-year non-stick warranty.
What's the benefit of the 25% extra cooking surface?
GreenPan's optimised wok shape provides a larger flat cooking area at the base compared to traditional wok designs. This extra surface allows you to stir-fry more ingredients simultaneously without overcrowding, ensuring better heat contact and more even cooking. It's particularly useful when cooking for 4-6 people.
Is this wok suitable for high-heat stir-frying?
Yes, the hardened aluminium construction provides rapid, even heat distribution ideal for stir-frying. The wok is oven safe to 220°C and can handle typical hob temperatures for stir-frying. However, the PFAS-free coating performs best when you avoid overheating an empty pan, which can occur above 280°C on gas hobs.
How does the helper handle assist with cooking?
The helper handle opposite the main handle allows you to lift and manoeuvre the wok safely using both hands, which is particularly useful when the 4.8-litre wok is full. This dual-handle design provides better balance and control when tossing ingredients or transferring the wok from hob to oven.
What We've Learned About Non-Stick Woks Since 1972
Over five decades of selling cookware, we've observed how non-stick technology has evolved. Traditional non-stick coatings raised health concerns due to PFAS chemicals, particularly at high temperatures. The shift to ceramic-based coatings like GreenPan's Thermolon addressed these concerns, though early ceramic coatings sometimes lacked durability. The diamond-enhanced Infinity Pro coating represents a significant advancement, combining the health benefits of PFAS-free cooking with improved scratch resistance and longevity. Customers who previously avoided non-stick woks due to health concerns find these ceramic-based alternatives particularly appealing. We've also noticed that woks with induction-compatible bases have become increasingly popular as more households transition to induction cooking, making the Magneto base a practical feature for both current and future hob compatibility.
Comparing Your Wok Options
Ceramic Non-Stick vs Traditional Carbon Steel Woks
Carbon steel woks offer exceptional heat responsiveness and can withstand very high temperatures, making them ideal for traditional wok cooking techniques. They develop a natural non-stick patina over time but require seasoning and careful maintenance. The GreenPan ceramic non-stick wok provides immediate food release without seasoning, is easier to clean, and offers PFAS-free cooking. However, carbon steel typically has a longer overall lifespan if properly maintained. Choose ceramic non-stick if you prioritise convenience and health-conscious cooking; opt for carbon steel if you're comfortable with traditional wok care and prefer maximum heat tolerance for authentic stir-frying techniques.
Diamond-Enhanced vs Standard Ceramic Non-Stick
Standard ceramic non-stick coatings provide excellent initial food release but may lose effectiveness more quickly with regular use. Diamond-enhanced coatings like Thermolon Infinity Pro incorporate diamond particles that increase hardness and scratch resistance, extending the coating's effective lifespan. Whilst both are PFAS-free, the diamond enhancement typically maintains its non-stick properties through more cooking cycles and withstands accidental metal utensil contact better than standard ceramic coatings.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash the wok in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Lightly oil the cooking surface with a paper towel before first use to enhance the non-stick properties.
Daily Cleaning: Allow the wok to cool before washing. Hand wash with warm soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Whilst dishwasher safe, hand washing will extend the lifespan of the non-stick coating. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.
During Cooking: Use low to medium heat settings—ceramic non-stick coatings perform optimally without high heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to enhance flavour and protect the coating. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, which can create residue build-up that affects non-stick performance.
Avoid: Metal utensils (use wood, silicone, or nylon instead), sudden temperature changes (don't plunge a hot wok into cold water), and overheating an empty pan. These practices may damage the coating and could void your warranty.
Storage: If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pieces to prevent scratches to the non-stick surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've cooked with it.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally break this item, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of breakage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
How long will the non-stick coating last?
The Thermolon Infinity Pro coating is covered by a 5-year warranty. With proper care—using appropriate utensils, avoiding overheating, and hand washing—the coating typically maintains effective non-stick properties throughout the warranty period and often beyond.
Can I see this wok in person before buying?
Yes, visit our Reigate or Cobham shops in Surrey to see the GreenPan Copenhagen range in person. Our staff can demonstrate the features and answer your questions.
Do you offer a price match guarantee?
Yes, if you find this wok at a lower price from an authorised UK retailer, we'll match it. Contact us with details of the competing offer before placing your order.
Is the coating safe if scratched?
Yes, the Thermolon ceramic coating is PFAS-free and contains no harmful chemicals. If scratched, it won't release toxic substances. However, scratches will reduce non-stick effectiveness, so proper utensil use helps maintain performance.
What's the difference between this and cheaper non-stick woks?
Budget non-stick woks typically use standard PTFE (Teflon) or basic ceramic coatings that may wear more quickly. This GreenPan wok features diamond-enhanced ceramic coating for improved durability, hardened aluminium construction for better heat distribution, and an induction-compatible Magneto base.
Can I use this wok in my oven?
Yes, the wok is oven safe up to 220°C, allowing you to start dishes on the hob and finish them in the oven. Ensure you use oven gloves when handling as all parts, including handles, will become hot.
Why does GreenPan recommend hand washing if it's dishwasher safe?
Dishwasher detergents and high temperatures can gradually degrade any non-stick coating over time. Hand washing extends the coating's lifespan whilst keeping cleanup simple.
