Tefal Jamie Oliver Cook’s Direct On 28 cm (11 in) wok review
The top of this hub: a stainless-bodied wok with a titanium-reinforced nonstick interior, Thermo-Signal indicator, riveted cast stainless handle, and every hob type including induction.
What we would actually buy The best-built wok in this hub. The missing oven figure is the one thing a metal-handled pan should always publish.
What you are getting
A 28 cm (11 in) wok with a stainless body, a titanium-reinforced nonstick interior, a riveted cast stainless handle, and Tefal’s Thermo-Signal in the base. It works on every hob type including induction.
Why the handle matters here
A wok is lifted and shaken. A riveted cast stainless handle takes that without loosening, where a molded handle on a screw eventually does not. It is also what makes the pan oven-capable in principle — though the maker does not publish a limit, which is a gap.
Thermo-Signal in a wok
More useful than in a flat pan. A stir-fry depends on the surface being hot before anything lands, and the indicator answers that without a water-droplet test on a coated surface, which you should not do anyway.

The questions that come in
Why does Amazon list this as Rowenta?
Amazon’s brand metadata attributes it to Rowenta, and the product is sold as Tefal Jamie Oliver Cook’s Direct On. Both belong to the same group. This page uses the name the product carries.
Can it go in the oven?
The handle is riveted cast stainless, which is the construction that normally allows it, but Tefal does not publish an oven limit for this wok. Without a figure, nothing is claimed here.
Our score
8.1/ 10
The best-built wok in this hub. The missing oven figure is the one thing a metal-handled pan should always publish.
This one against the other cookware and knives
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
