1 out of 5 stars Horrible Wok...   November 13, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This wok is terrible. We literally used it twice before throwing it out. After the first use, we noticed that a tiny flake came off the bottom of the pan. I used the bamboo tools that it came with... but I figured I must have done something wrong.

My wife started using the wok again about a week later when clouds of smoke poured out of it. She was just adding a little oil before the food went in! The fumes released by the pans turned out to be the non-stick coating releasing/melting/burning. You couldn't breathe! Gotta hand it to the engineers behind this one - a non-stick coating so effective it won't even stick to the wok itself!

Needless to say we turned on some fans, opened the windows, and went out to eat that night. I was actually really excited to get this as a wedding present last month, but ended up very disappointed. We ended up buying a new wok from BB&B with a mail-in rebate making the final cost [...]. Much heavier steel used, slick non-stick, works great.



1 out of 5 stars The non-stick coating came off before anything was cooked...   August 9, 2007

So, two minutes of preheating with oil for a stirfry on medium-high heat and a small explosion and fire started, then once the flames were out and the billows of smoke cleared, the non-stick coating poured off. Not peeled, but POURED off Bad product. I bought a wok for stir-fry which requires a hot wok. I have used many woks at much higher temperatures, and never had this kind of experience. They were a much higher quality, but I would not expect this kind of reaction even if I paid $10 for it rather than the $30 paid.

Avoid at all costs. This product is dangerous. Directions were followed exactly!

This wok lasted about 3 weeks before the non-stick coating started to flake off. It is now unsafe to use for stir-fry. I still use it to boil water for a steamer, but that's it. Worthless junk that I would NEVER buy again, and I advise anyone considering one of these to not make the same mistake that I did.

I use this wok at least 3 to 4 times a week and it is easy clean up and heats very evenly. I am glad I purchased this item.

As experienced by another reviewer the non stick POISONOUS coating came off as soon as food was added. Directions were followed exactly.
