 Better than most July 28, 2006

I've been using a round-bottom wok for 15 years, and with my new stove, found out I had to use a flat-bottomed wok. I was skeptical about the quality of cooking with such a wok, but have had no problems. In fact, I think it turns out the dishes better, though that may be because the stove has a high-heat burner that I'm using with it. This wok is a bit heavier than my old one, but I think that's an advantage. Because it has 2 handles, it's easy to transport to the table. (My old wok had only one.) A disadvantage is that it doesn't come with a cover, but I am using my old cover(aluminum) and that works fine. You could probably buy a cheap one if you live near any Asian stores. My judgment is that this wok is heavier than most, which also means its cooking quality is probably better. It's a pain to season, but so are all woks. You just have to do it once then never again, or at least seldom. As for someone hating this because of a metallic taste to food, that would happen to all food of this type that is cooked in an iron-based cooking utensil. Certain foods can't be cooked in a wok. But if you are cooking Asian foods in this, I think you will be very happy with the results.

I bought one of these over a year ago and have been very pleased with it. I had a tough time seasoning it. Only the bottom of the wok was turning dark, probably because my wimpy electric stove was unable to produce enough heat. I finally took the advice of a friend and turned it upside down over the burner, and that got the sides hot enough. (Be sure to turn on the fan and open windows when you do this; I set off the smoke alarm, not realizing how much peanut oil smokes when it gets that hot.) I'm not crazy about the plastic handles -- I think wood looks much better -- but they function fine. 14" is a great size, allowing you to cook enough food for 4-5 people, but still fitting well on a typical burner. The flat bottom of this wok ensures good contact with an electric burner, allowing the wok to actually get hot enough for stir-frying. This is the wok I'd recommend to friends, although I'd look harder for wooden handles next time.

Once you cure it (instructions included), this wok is as stick-free as teflon, but not as toxic. The handle stays cool, and it fits nicely on the burner with its flat bottom. It's a well-made piece of cookware.
