5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome & solid wok!
This is a fantastic and substantial wok. By my measure (using dial calipers), it is 1.8mm thick - solid, with no "give" in any manner when pulling/pushing on the handles. While it is certainly larger than my other 14" inch wok, it isn't unwieldy and would still be suitable for cooking for 3 or 4 people (or more). The wok may have had a light oil coating on arrival, but nothing that was difficult to remove with a quick soapy rinse in the sink. Using my wok stove Thunder Group IRFS001 5B Fast Stove on the lanai, this was easy and quick to season for use - less than 15 minutes. Just fire the stove to high heat and slowly reposition the wok, watching as the steel cycles through the colors of the rainbow and settles on gray/silver. Bring the wok down to medium heat and wipe with a light coat of vegetable oil using a folded paper towel and tongs. I had a slick, non-stick surface the very first use and it has remained such after many more uses. I suspect the vast majority of people who have trouble seasoning their woks are trying to do so on inadequate heat sources. A true high BTU wok stove makes this a simple affair (and avoids filling your home with smoke!). This is a heavy wok, and with no long handle for leverage, it takes some wrist and forearm strength to try to toss it around, so just be aware. A high quality, solidly built cooking tool that I highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
I wanted an authentic carbon steel wok like a Chinese restaurant would have and this is it. I use it on my weber gas grill with the accessory grate that has the circular opening. I have to remove the flavorizer bars while using, but otherwise works great. It seasoned nicely and is very durable. A wok with a single handle may be more user friendly, but this one still allows me to close the lid of the grill. This is a blast to cook with and the dishes that I’ve made so far have turned out great.
5.0 out of 5 stars Made in China with age old craftsmanship
Thick steel, but still light enough, no sharp edgeTakes high heat, 650-700 F+, no warping.Optimum temp below smoking point of your oilOnly get if you have high BTU burnerBefore use, strip off carbon residue and factory oil with rubbing alcohol. Bring up to high heat, 500+, until bare metal turns blue all the way up the walls, then just wipe with oil and let soak. Will not rust if you do that
5.0 out of 5 stars Looks great, but choose the right one
I bought this for my wife because she loves making stir fry, and needed a wok. This one had a nice artisan look for a relatively low price, so it seemed like a no-brainer.While the rounded bottom may be more historically accurate, a flat bottom would have made this MUCH more practical in terms of which stove top we use, or even setting it down and not having it tilt and roll in a random direction. What's more, the two short grab handles are less handy than a single straight handle would have been, especially when using the second hand to stir or add ingredients.My next wok will have a flat bottom, and a single handle.*** 12/6/2023 update **************Based on my review comments, the seller contacted me and gave me a full refund, no strings attached! I didn't even have to ship the wok back! This goes beyond good customer service, as I ordered the wrong wok through nobody's fault but my own - and I'm WAAY past the return period.I'm going to order a new one from the same seller, this time with the flat bottom and long side handle. Simply amazing!
4.0 out of 5 stars Quality and price
We like the craftsmanship, heavy and durable.It's easy to clean.We expected it to be a little bit bigger.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
I got this wok for my outdoor kitchen my go to pan for frying shrimp, fish, and chicken. Its not a light duty pan but more manageable than my cast iron pot. Perfect for frying pork belly if you don't do anything except fry chicken in it, it's worth the money.
1.0 out of 5 stars It got all rusted after the first time I used it.
I use it 1 time just to try it out before I have a gathering so .I wash and Dryed it and the next morning it was all Rusted. I can not use it please refund my money back
3.0 out of 5 stars Good size
Rust spots appeared right after I unwrapped and wiped up oil. Not sure if it is right
Great wok
Love this wok, perfect size, easy to use., very well made
Wok tradicional marca Craft Wok.
Wok grande y pesado tal cual se usa en los restaurants. Este Wok es de calidad y seguramente para toda la vida, está muy bien hecho.
Seriously good quality.
I've had a few carbon steel woks in the past and this is head and shoulders above everything I've had. After a good cleaning to remove shipping oil (to stop it rusting) and using a tabletop induction wok stove it was extremely easy to do the first seasoning. The actual wok itself is much thicker than my previous woks and bigger by a few inches which will make it easier to cook larger items and for deep frying. I'd also say it's extremely good quality with well riveted handles.
Not same as pictured
While effectively a similar item, the wok I received was different from the one in the picture.Still a 17" carbon steel wok, but with round handles, roughly welded to the wok. A dent where they welded the handle almost made me send it back..However I decided that functionally all I was after was a 17" carbon steel wok, so I went on to a full first seasoning process. Seeing the wok "come to life" was quite an experience and my first stir-fry on the grill was a huge success..So, I'm overall happy with the product, but the description should be more accurate.PS: I cannot stress enough the importance of that first seasoning. As you can see in the before / after images, the wok is a different product after seasoning. You do get chemical burns on the first heating process, so without seasoning I would think it unsafe and dangerous to cook in it.
Sono contento consiglio
Va benissimo
