Pow Wok Stir Fry Pan - Hand Hammered Carbon Steel (14 inch, Round Bottom)

Wok is fine, you just have to pair it up with the right ring for you. I got the Whirlpool Part Number W10216179 Wok Ring for mine as it fit the burner grate on my stove best. Wok nested in it perfectly with no stovetop sliding.

I finally got a stove that can handle a true wok, and wow, what a difference. I've had non-stick, flat-bottom woks, which are fine, but this thing really does the job, and, no teflon harming the environment. Great product for a reasonable price. Just follow the directions closely to get it seasoned. Taking "giftable" rating down one star--nothing wrong with it, but you'd have to know the receiver. Some folks--my wife for instance--can't handle how cast iron and steel pans should be maintained. Briefly--never, or very rarely, use soap or detergent, and, if food sticks, reseason the pan.

I have a gas range with a wok support grate over a high BTU burner. So I wanted a round-bottom wok. Very pleased with this sturdy wok that is evenly shaped with good thickness. This made it easy to season (good instructions on back of the wrapper). During my service years, I spent a lot of time with Thai soldiers and learned to cook with them. So now retired, I want to get back into cooking some of my favorites. This 14" wok is the right size for 2-4 people, and I am already gathering all the ingredients for some great meals. If you have a gas range, and a wok ring or grate, you will find this a terrific wok. A great value too.

My original wok came very quickly. There were scratches on the inside from shipping, so I contacted the seller and they sent a replacement out immediately that came within two days. I was able to season them on my gas grill, but because i couldn't get the handles off, they broke. BUT, they're still very good woks that are sturdy and very nice. I'm excited to give the second wok as a gift. Will likely keep the first one if the second one ever breaks beyond repair from being dropped or something.

This is a 14inch heavy duty restaurant quality wok. I followed the seasoning directions and it behaved exactly how they said it would. The wok will get better with use. Tonight I used it for a hot pepper pork recipe that was to die for. Cleaned up like a champ. If you haven't used a wok, seasoning it, (preparing for the first use), is paramount. Even with the rounded bottom, it sat well on my burner. I give it 5 stars overall, with 4 stars for "easy to clean". That ease in cleaning will come with time.

We like the size of the wok and the speed it heats up. The wok is large enough to cook for multiple people at the same time. It heats quickly on our power burner. This gives us the the ability to give some char to our veggies and meats.We like it better and find it more versatile than the cast iron pan we use for cooking fajitas.I recommend seasoning using the oven method described in the instructions. Initially used the stove top method but was difficult to get a good even seasoning.

Pros- Quick Heat- Stir frys are goodCons- Have to wash after every use, if one drop of water left then it gets erosion- Given its size I cook food in batches, so while eating leftover food is kept in the wok, I have observed that food gets black if not removed immediately post cooking (Even under 15 minutes).

I was really disappointed that my first wok rusted after the second use/washing. This seller was amazing. I was told the wok needed to be well-seasoned before use. I'm no longer disappointed in this purchase. Please learn from my mistake and maintain your wok by seasoning with oil periodically (look it up online if you don't know how to).

good quality, fast shipping

this wok does not keep the season, just bad quality.
