 If I could give this wok zero star, I would! March 7, 2007
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
I bought this wok because the reviews were quite good. I'm Asian and so I didn't think it would be bad to season the wok once in a while - my parents have a very well-seasoned wok that has lasted them forever. But this is not the case with this wok. IT RUSTS SO FAST YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT! The first time it got rusted, we thought maybe we didn't dry the wok completely. We scoured the wok and seasoned it over and over again. The second time, it got rusted AS WE WERE COOKING! My husband covered the lid and when he opened it, the whole upper half of the wok was rusted! We couldn't believe it. Also, even after we scoured it completely, it gave off a nasty, acid smell that my husband said was the smell of rust. The tricky part is, it says in the manual that once it's rusted, they won't take it back. So after giving this wok several chances and see that it just wouldn't perform, we threw it out. We are going to get a wok now from the local Asian market. I don't understand the good reviews at all. I usually go by the reviews and have been satisfied with most of my purchases with Amazon, but this is not it. Don't buy it. It's a piece of junk!

I like this Wok- Its nice- Only downfall is that it had excessive Oil ( Seasoning? ) in it when I bought it that took a while to get clean- Overall it works great for the price

This wok works ok but turns out to be very difficult to maintain. Easily rusted. Everytime I wash it, I put it on the medium heat to dry it completely. But still it get rusted easily. This is not the wok for my style.

I don't understand the negative reviews. I really like this wok and use it several times a week. I cook everything from stir fries to curries to crisping homemade croutons. I've even cooked burgers and made scrambled eggs in this wok.
Follow the directions for seasoning and you can't go wrong. Re-season it occasionally, and all you need do is rinse the wok in very hot water and dry thoroughly before storing. If bits of food get stuck, I boil a little water in the wok, poke at the burnt crispies with a wooden spoon, and everything comes clean. If food gets really stuck, you can make a paste of baking soda and bleach to get the stuck bits off and then reseason.
Edited: Once your wok is seasoned, it will no longer be silver and shiny. It will always have a bronze patina, but that is exactly what you are looking for. Almost a year later, I still love my wok and use it regularly. No rust, and it's as solid as ever.
