Excellent addition to kitchen! June 13, 2008

I recently purchased this item and must say that I'm very happy with it! The quality was WAY more than I expected for the price, and after proper seasoning, its cooking results are flawless. I highly recommend this item to anyone venturing into the Wok cooking scene. Not only does stiry-fry foods taste great, but they are also a much healthier alternative to more conventional cooking methods.

This is a very nice heavy wok. I recently bought a range with a 16000 BTU burner. This wok works great with it. (range hood that extracts fumes to the outside is a MUST) IMHO, if your burner is not > 10000 btu, most woks would be the same. It does rust easily, so care has to be taken as mention in other reviews. Seasoning it took a 1/2 hour to get it black at the surface bottom, but after many uses, nothing 'much' sticks. What ever that does stick easily gets brushed off with water and a scrubber. Just soak it while you are having dinner. Frying noodles (flat and wide rice noodles) was a challenge at first, but after a few uses, it does the job very well. A word of reminder, this wok + high heat = quick water evaporation. A tip would be to cover the wok if you want to maintain some water moisture in the food and turn down the flame towards the end of cooking. CONS: my wife doesn't like this wok since you have to work fast on it and she prefers the old Calphalon nonstick wok. Since we both cook different dishes, this wok does get quite a lot of mileage ever since I bought it. Mine came with wooden handles as well, and it looks better than pictures. The package came well packed and no damage was apparent.

good classic wok May 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Carbon steel for good heat transfer, no nonstick coating so it can be used at stir-frying (high) temperature without concern about chemical contamination. Out of the box I gave it a good cleaning and seasoning with peanut oil. After use all it needs is light cleaning and wiping with a little oil before putting away. The flat bottom keeps it steady on any cooktop, the medium gauge and uniform thickness mean it heats quickly and evenly. For best results in high temp cooking like most stir-frying or flash-frying, use peanut oil to avoid smoking the oil. 4 star not 5 because the longer handle has a slight wobble; the cutout where it fits over the metal tab on the pan is slightly too wide, not a hazard, but an occasional annoyance.

Great Wok May 5, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is the first flat bottom wok I have ever purchased and used. I have always used a larger wok for large family gatherings and I needed something to cook on the stove and this wok is perfect. As long as you season the wok it is the most easiest form of cooking on the stove top from stir fry to stews, this is a great versatile cooking tool for every kitchen. The only thing I can find wrong with this product is the handle for the cover. Looks as if it came off during production and was just pushed on the set screw so the now the wooden handle slips off. It's an easy fix, but when you buy something new you expect everything in perfect working condition.

Terrible Wok April 26, 2008
0 out of 11 found this review helpful

I wish I could give it a minus five star rating.

It's apparently a mistake to buy this piece of junk because I think I should give it a try since its rating is not bad. I followed the simple instruction, and tried to be very careful for each step. Still, I got blackend pan bottom with burned smell all over the house.

I'd recommend you buy a non-stick one for peace of mind. I can't imagine you have to spend 4*15 minutes=1 hour for the seasoning and so easily have a mess. Even after that, after each use, you still have to apply cooking oil to avoid rust. If I still bother to spend so much time and care for a wok, why wouldn't I just get a $10 wok. This Shi* doesn't differ itself from a $10 one you can easily find in any Chinese super market.

Don't waste your money. The junk is not worth it.
