Tefal So Matcha 30cm wokpan review

The Tefal So Matcha 30cm is a family-size non-stick wok from a trusted brand, and it’s our Best Wok pick. You get a titanium non-stick coating rated to last about twice as long as Tefal’s standard non-stick, a Thermo-Signal preheat indicator that tells you when the pan is ready, a glass lid for covered cooking, and a base that works on all stovetops, including induction. For a household that stir-fries and cooks saucy ulam most nights, it’s an easy pick.

How well does it cook?

The titanium non-stick coating is the main draw. Rice, noodles, fish, and tocino slide off cleanly, so you cook with less oil and wash up faster. The Thermo-Signal indicator changes color when the pan is hot enough, which takes the guesswork out of searing: add food too early and it steams, wait for the signal and it browns properly. The deep 30cm bowl holds a big batch, so you can toss a family-size pancit or a heap of gulay without spilling over the sides, and the included glass lid lets you switch from a quick stir-fry to a covered simmer for saucy dishes like adobo or curry.

How well is it made?

Tefal builds this on a diffusion base for even heat, so the pan warms uniformly and avoids the hot spots that scorch food in a thin wok. It works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction, so it fits most Pinoy kitchens now and if you switch cooktops later. The trade-off is the usual one for non-stick: keep the heat low to medium and use wooden or silicone utensils, because metal and very high heat wear the coating down over time. The glass lid is a genuinely useful inclusion, letting you trap steam for braises without buying a separate cover.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱5,700 as of July 23, 2026, which is the official Tefal Cookware PH store’s list price. Cookware from Tefal’s official store often drops below list during Shopee’s big campaign sales (payday, 9.9, 11.11), so it’s worth timing your purchase around one of those. Check the latest price on Shopee. At full price it costs more than a generic wok, but you’re paying for a proven brand, a titanium coating rated to last about twice as long, a preheat indicator, and a glass lid. With more than 400 sold and a 5-star rating on the official store, plenty of Pinoy buyers already trust it, and as our Best Wok pick it earns the spot. If you stir-fry most days, the per-year cost is small.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you stir-fry or cook saucy ulam most days and want one reliable non-stick wok that handles a family-size batch and works on induction, and you can catch it on sale. If you mostly fry eggs and small portions, a flat frypan will suit you better; if you only cook now and then, a cheaper local wok will do the job.

Alternatives to consider

Want a wok from a different brand? The KitchenAid Forged 30cm wok is a heavier, solidly built alternative at the same size. Prefer to stay with Tefal but spend a little less? The Tefal Generous Cook 28cm wokpan gives you the same titanium non-stick and preheat indicator in a slightly smaller pan.
