Craft Wok 14-Inch Traditional Hand-Hammered Carbon Steel Wok
The Craft Wok 14-inch hand-hammered wok is a true classic — the kind of wok that gives you restaurant-level stir-fries at home. Made from traditional 15-gauge carbon steel and hand-hammered for strength and durability, this wok heats fast, responds instantly, and develops a naturally nonstick patina the more you cook. The round-bottom design is built for real wok cooking: high heat, fast movement, intense searing, and proper “breath of the wok” flavor. If you love Asian cooking or want a pan that will last decades and only improve with time, this wok is a must-have.

Coconut Chips
Golden and irresistibly crunchy, coconut chips are the embodiment of tropical bliss. Each chip is a delicate slice of dried coconut, boasting a rich, buttery flavor that transports you straight to a sun-soaked beach.
Canned Anchovies
These salty, briny morsels are packed in oil or salt, offering a rich umami flavor that elevates countless dishes.
Oat Flour
Oat flour is a gluten-free flour made from finely ground oats, offering a nutritious alternative to wheat-based flours. Originating from ancient agricultural practices, it has gained popularity in modern health-conscious cuisines. Its flavor is mild yet distinctly nutty, with a subtle sweetness that complements both savory and sweet dishes. The texture is fine and smooth, providing a tender crumb in baked goods. When used in cooking, oat flour absorbs liquids well, contributing to a moist consistency in batters and doughs, though it can brown quickly if overheated. Its unique properties make it a versatile choice for those seeking to avoid gluten or incorporate more whole grains into their diets.
Mascarpone Cheese
Creamy and lusciously rich, mascarpone cheese is a velvety Italian delight that melts in your mouth with a hint of sweet tanginess.
Dried Dill Weed
Dried dill weed is the dried, leafy part of the dill plant, offering a fresh, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor. It's a staple in many cuisines, particularly in dishes that call for a hint of herbal freshness.
Canned Pinto Beans
Creamy and tender, canned pinto beans are a pantry staple that bring a comforting, earthy richness to any dish. Their buttery texture and mild, nutty flavor make them a versatile addition to soups, stews, and hearty salads.
