Chef's Gallery induction rock wok 30cm review

The Chef’s Gallery Induction Rock Wok 30cm is a budget-friendly everyday wok with a stone-finish non-stick surface, a lid for steaming and simmering, and a base that’s induction ready. It’s a practical pick for a Pinoy household that cooks big-batch ulam and wants one pan that does more than fry.

How well does it cook?

The deep 30cm bowl is the whole point of a wok: it gives you room to toss a big batch of pancit or stir-fry gulay without spilling over the sides, and the sloped walls make tossing easy. The stone-finish (Greblon) non-stick coating releases food cleanly, so fish and fried rice don’t stick and you can cook with less oil. Put the lid on and the same pan braises and steams, so one wok covers stir-fries, saucy adobo, and even a quick nilaga.

How well is it made?

It’s built on an aluminum body, so it heats fast and stays lighter than cast iron, and the honeycomb stone finish is tougher than plain non-stick, which helps it survive daily use. It’s induction ready and also works on gas, so it fits most Pinoy kitchens now and if you switch cooktops later. The usual non-stick trade-off still applies: keep the heat low to medium and use wooden or silicone utensils, because metal and very high heat wear any coating down over time. Filled with food, the wok plus lid is a bit heavy, so lifting it one-hand takes some effort.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱2,000 as of July 23, 2026. Chef’s Gallery cookware like this regularly goes on sale, so it often dips below that during Shopee’s monthly double-date sales, worth waiting for if you’re not in a rush. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a branded stone-coated wok that comes with a lid and runs on induction, that’s fair value next to generic no-name woks that skip the lid and tend to peel sooner.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you cook big-batch meals for the family and want one affordable wok that stir-fries, braises, and steams, and you’re okay treating the non-stick gently. If you want a lighter pan just for eggs and quick fry-ups, a smaller frypan makes more sense, and hard high-heat searing is still a job for carbon steel or cast iron.
