Customer Reviews

Cheap but GOOD
This wok works really nicely even on my wimpy electric stove. It's shipped with the longer handle unscrewed, but it goes in easily and feels sturdy once attached.

What surprised me was how well the seasoning instructions work. I've resolved not to buy Teflon pans any more, because I have a tendency to burn food, which spoils the coating (mmmm perfluorooctanoic acid) The coating works as well as a Teflon pan - with a cheap plastic wok chuan (spatula with a large semicircular blade), fried rice and eggs came off the surface easily. The coating endured cleaning with regular dish detergent and plastic scouring pad. It was surprising because I grew up in a Malaysian Chinese family and we've never done this "seasoning" thing with our woks. I emailed my mum to tell her about it.

The seller included 2 accessories, a large bamboo spoon and a thing that I think is meant for a cleaning instrument (but since it looks like a backscratcher I'm using it as one =D ), and a cookbook.

EDIT: by the way, using the oven seasoning method (explained in the seller's flier) is a lot better than the stovetop seasoning method - more durable, you can get a thicker coating on, and you're less likely to burn yourself in the process. Either way be ready to have a houseful of smoke for a couple of hours.

Wok and Roll!
When my wok arrived (on time I might add!), I was and am very satisfied, well pleased with the quality, the weight, and quite surprised with the enclosed accessories! I was not expecting that! I am one satisfied customer. And, yes, I would order again from this seller. Thank you for your promptness in delivery. I am enjoying my wok stir-fry meals very much. Couldn't wait to get it to start healthy cooking!! Thank you once again!

Carbon Steel Wok
Although I haven't gotten past the seasoning stage and I'm no expert, this wok seems like it's good quality (especially for the price). If it melts or falls apart, which I doubt, I'll post a follow-up.
