Description

The Yamada Iron Light Handle Wok Ladle (Hoak) Medium is a finely crafted kitchen tool designed to enhance your wok-frying experience. Made by the skilled artisans at Yamada Kogyosho, a family-run factory in Yokohama, Japan, this ladle combines traditional craftsmanship with practical design. Its lightweight iron pipe handle offers comfortable handling, making it ideal for home cooks who enjoy preparing stir-fry dishes and other wok-based meals.

This medium-sized ladle, measuring 120 mm, is perfectly suited for use with woks 33 cm or larger. Unlike standard ladles, the Yamada ladle features a unique shape that supports multi-tasking during cooking.

After use, clean the ladle with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid using harsh detergents or soaking for prolonged periods.

Care instructions

Hand wash the ladle with warm water and mild soap, then dry immediately to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that can damage the seasoning.
