From The Manufacturer

Utilizing pure ceramic as a coating, the Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is one of the world’s first frying woks to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals. Conventional cookware and other ceramic cookware brands achieve their non-stick performance through a coating of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a synthetic substance that has waxy properties. At very high temperatures, PTFE begins to decompose and release fumes which are documented to be lethal to birds and small pets, and which can be harmful to humans. In addition, traditional cookware incorporating PTFE is often manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which the EPA has classified as a ‘persistent pollutant of the environment’. With the Green Earth Wok’s ecozeri technology, even under high temperatures, such harmful toxic fumes are never released into the environment. This is because the Green Earth Wok by Ozeri utilizes a 100% ceramic coating inspired by nature. The Green Earth Wok’s ceramic coating is completely free of PTFE and PFOA. In addition to being and ultra-safe, the Green Earth Wok’s ceramic coating is far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. With better non-stick properties, the Green Earth Wok by Ozeri allows you to sauté, fry, bake, boil and braise with as little as half the amount of oil normally used, and it makes cleaning a breeze. The Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is made of the highest quality die-cast aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning without the risk of hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a heat resistant Backlight handle. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Expert Reviews


What experts liked

Our favorite feature without a doubt like with other Ozeri Cookware, is that it has no chemicals and emits no harmful fumes or toxins that would be released while we cook our meals. As an added bonus this wok has a nice color and a good overall feel.
It is made up of durable heavy-gauge die-cast aluminum with no heavy metals or harmful chemicals. It Boast a comfortable heat resistant Bake light handle, and a magnetized induction stove safe base for rapid heat transfer.
The other advantage that you get when you have Ozeri Green Earth Wok Nonstick Pan is that you will clean the pan with ease. The light handle and the even heat distribution is one of the features that we should also highlight the product.
I really love the Green Earth Wok because of its size and its cooking ability. It is deep enough to fit a lot of vegetables and meat – enough to make a full meal. The wok has a magnetized induction base that will not scratch glass surfaces.

But I love how the wok is so thick and well made there was no fear of any breaking or damaging the item itself.
I love all my Ozeri products (you can find my past reviews here, here and here) and haven’t been disappointed by any of them. They’re durable, well-made, sleek, modern and convenient.
Would I recommend this product? Yes. This is the only Wok currently that I have found with perfect build quality, doesn’t contain any nasty chemicals, great value price, and makes food to perfection.
We’ve had this wok for three months now and it still works like it did on day one. The green colour cookware actually looks great and clean up is a breeze. Would definitely buy again and recommend to family and friends.
Not only it looks stylish and pretty, it really is a non-stick wok
Clean up is a breeze, nothing has ever stuck in this wok. I use a small amount of dish detergent with a soft cloth and it looks like new after cleaning. I am pleased with the quality and construction of this wok by Ozeri and I like how they are green in color for Green Earth!
I absolutely love this wok and would totally recommend it, if like me, you have always struggled in the past. Perfect for all those turkey stirfries post Christmas!
One thing that shocked me about both the pan and the wok was the large base. This is the base that helps transfer heat evenly throughout the pan. I have never had a pan with a raised base, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect.
The handle is a nice big handles that is easy to carry to the table and I love the nice Bright green color of it. It also comes with a piece of clothing for you to put inside the wok so other pans don’t scrap the inside.
​This green earth wok is perfect for stir-fry’s, sautéing veggies, cooking meat . You barely need any type of oil , grease or butter because the pan alone is nonstick. It is so very easy to clean up, you do not need any type of scrubbers-just hot soapy water.
Absolutely nothing sticks to it. Nothing. Maybe if you let the pan sit on high heat for a long time without stirring something will stick to it; but we have not had trouble with food sticking to this wok. Cleaning is pretty easy – you simply wipe it out with a soft soapy cloth.
I love how the bottom is thick layered and distributes heat evenly to get the perfect cooked food. I recommend this to anybody who wants to give their hands and back a break from scrubbing those awful sticking pans!
Excellent non stick qualities that dont produce any harmful fumes even at a high temperature
I can honesly say this is the best quality wok I’ve used, it really does have non stick power and best of all, it requires little effort washing up as everything just slides off.
Another feature I totally love about my Ozeri Wok, it has an ultra-safe ceramic coating derived from nature which is 100% PTFE and PFOA free.
Later on, I will have to get a wok recipe book on how to get more ideas but for now the ribs passed the test because of the great feature of the wok's ability to allow you to bake in it, sauté in it, bake, broil and braise. Wow! No wonder my meat came out delish and cooked evenly.
I love how large Ozeri's Green Earth Wok is. I can fit a ton of vegetables in my stir fry and I love how quickly and evenly everything cooks.
When I picked up this wok I was impressed! It is super heavy duty and large.
I really like this pan and it holds so much which is perfect for a large family making stir-fry’s, sautéing veggies, cooking meat or tofu which ever protein you like. I love the fact it is eco-friendly and will not cause me to get sick or kill any pets as the coating of the pan is safe.
I also love that it is none stick. Clean up was just a few swipes of the sponge and drying it was shiny new. It cooked perfectly even so no hot spots.

What experts didn't like

Challenging to cook in
The handle is a bit loose and might get off.
Some may find the handle a bit too long
The outside is a painted surface and not as easy to clean. This is only a problem if you spill food on the outside while over heating the wok.
