Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent wok
just got my wok today , it was just as described. this wok is very light but very well made. I used the gas option for seasoning my wok. I used iodine salt and this cause my patana to turn blue, I think I was suppose to use non-iodine salt. oh well. in the end after doing the final seasoning I cooked the vegatables and burned them as the directions indicated. the seasoned wok was perfect. it has a beautiful color and the size is perfect for my grill side burner. I just stuck it directly on the gas ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great wok - Great price
I just recieved my wok and am very happy with my purchase. I swear by carbon steel or cast iron woks. Non-stick might sound good but remember you should never put non-stick on high heat. It burns the coating. Since the point of stir frying is to use high heat and cook fast it seems to me that non-stick is of little use for a wok. (just my opinion)
I like the 12in size, it's perfect for 2 people. Seasoning was no problem (I've done it many times over the years) Extra utensils were included ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - surprisingly good wok
I have to confess that this was an impulse buy--the price just blew me away and I HAD to try it. My other wok is a flat-bottomed 14 inch Joyce Chen that I really like, but I was intrigued by the smaller size, round bottom, and hand hammering of this wok. I bought it and am very pleased with the wok for the price.

It is a very sturdy carbon steel wok that has been hand hammered and has a an appealing unrefined quaintness about it. It does not have the factory stamped looked of most American ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pretty good for the price...
I think, especially for the price, that this is not such a bad deal. The instructions on seasoning it were very clear and concise and I had no problems with this. The only thing I ran up against is that I have an electric stove and the wok ring that I received with the wok seems too big (the wok tends to wobble around) and the wok sits directly upon the burner (which I don't think it's supposed to do...). I sent an email inquiring about this to the company selling it and never heard back :-( However, with ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Wok.. Though seasoning is a problem
This is the first wok I bought after I went through a series of regular non stick varieties. I love this wok but it does have some drawbacks. First of all seasoning, I dont have a gas stove so I had to bake this wok in the oven four time with oil on it to season it properly. One time that set off the smoke alarm, and everytime there would be this horrible smell of burning oil and steel in the house.
But once I had finished with the whole seasoning process it was a fantastic wok, and Im sure its going to ... Read More
