 A simple and elegant cooking tool Sep 25, 2008
By H. Carter
"Ex Tex"
I have been cooking with woks since college (about twenty years) and I have own many. This is the best one I have ever owned. I need a new one because I am currently renting a house with an electric stove and my round-bottomed wok does not work well on an electric burner. I chose carbon steel over iron because I prefer the superior heat control I get with steel as opposed to the superior heat retention you get with iron. This however, is a personal preference and depends on your cooking style. I paid a little more for this one but I think it was worth it. It is a light but solid peace of metal, well shaped. The rivets that fasten the handles are flushed with the interior surface of the wok. My other wok does not have this feature and these are difficult to clean. The Wok Shop also provides excellent easy to understand instructions on how to season your wok. Properly done this will make it virtually non-stick. This will be far superior to any Teflon or other factory non-stick coating. You can pay more for a wok. Williams and Sonoma will sell you an excellent wok for between 100 and 200 dollars. Your food will not taste any better and it will not make you a better chef.16 inch Carbon Steel Wok w/ 2 Steel Handles (flat bottom)

HEAVY DUTY! May 12, 2007
By M. Puett
Received my wok in record time and it is well beyond my expectations.
After a disappointing purchase on Eb*y I bought this one and I cannot say enough good things about it.
Very heavy duty, heats evenly, and cleans up like a dream (as long as you follow their instructions on seasoning the wok).
Wok On!

Carbon Steel Wok Oct 18, 2007
By Jill A. Comer
The product is very nice. However, I felt the seasoning instructions, where it instructs to scour the wok "as if you were trying to remove the seasoning" was tremendously misleading. I scoured too hard, and since it said with an abrasive pad and I used steel wool, I scratched and damaged my wok. Steel wool was a terrible choice, but when it instructs, as if to remove the seasoning, I believed I was doing what was instructed. Therefore, I have had much difficulty with the seasoning staying on. I am so disappointed, as I have tried so hard to get the wok usable, but I believe I will always have problems. So, I believe the seasoning instructions should be revised for this product. I ended up buying a non-stick wok at WalMart so I could do stir-fry.

 Good product for electric stove Jul 23, 2009
By T. Chan
This wok is well made, heated fast and cleans easily (if you season it well). I took out one star because the flat bottom is not big enough. The flat bottom circle is 6" diameter. Most four-ring electric stove have two 6" and two 8" fire surfaces. For best cooking result, high-heat is preferred. However, if you use an 8" cooking surface, there will be a inch gap around wok bottom, and heat escaped from there. I have to make a wok ring to contain the heat.

Best Wok ever Dec 09, 2009
By P. Parrish
I absolutely love this Wok. I bought one for my mother as well and she loves it too. You definitely want to season it first, but once that's done it works wonderfully. I cook so much more than just Chinese food in it. The 16 inch size is perfect. I also recommend getting the right scoop and spatula for this, it makes cooking in the Wok so much easier. I recommend it for anyone who wants a nice Wok.
