Fantastic Wok.. Though seasoning is a problem Jan 20, 2004
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 last me for years, it heats up really quickly and makes the most fabulous dishes and is practically non-stick.
Im soon gong to be switching to an electric wok though for two reasons, one I have a flat eletric stove and even though the wok ring helps, Im still afriad it might tip over (though in two years and once a week "wokking" it never once has). Secondly, the time has come for it to be seasoned again and I dont think I could take it again.
But if you have a gas stove then THIS WOK IS A MUST. Its amazingly easy to season on a gas stove and cools down immedialty once you turn off the heat. Its fantastic for stir frying and deep fat frying but unforunatly, it doesnt meet the needs of my electric stove.

 Pretty good for the price... Mar 26, 2004
By The Pookiest of them all
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 the shipment, they sent a couple of little "free gifts" -- I thought that was very nice.

 excellent wok Feb 14, 2007
By M. neese
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 side burner head without grate or ring . within 30 seconds my oil was sizzling. 12" wok is fine for a family of 4. the spatula handle needs to be hammered into the handle for a sturdy fit.
highly recommend this product, give 1 hour for seasoning it and playing with it to get a good color on it.
make sure you use a kitchen mit if you use the gas option , as the whole wok heats up very fast

I originally ordered the Logic wok, but it was so heavy I didn't think I'd enjoy using it. This wok arrived in good shape and seasoned BEAUTIFULLY (I used the 'bake in the oven' method). It looks like it's been in my kitchen for years. When I cooked in it the first time, it was almost non-stick in performance. It fits well into the wok grate that comes made into my range. Couldn't be happier at this point, hope that it holds up well over time.

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 (nice surprise). Overall a very nice traditional wok that looks like it will give years of great cooking. How can you beat it for the price. One warning, go buy a pair of good oven mitts. The handles do get very hot. I wanted something that didn't take up much space on the stovetop, so the loop handles were perfect for me.
Happy Woking or is it wokking
