Carbon steel wok pan （12 Inch Round Bottom） Black Steel Wok , Nonstick, Stir fry pan,Chinese wok

I was so excited to receive my wok a day early! It's just as the pictures shown on the Amazon website - beautiful & well made like a piece of artwork! Best of all, I don't have to season it, because it's pre-seasoned. After a through cleaning, I can start cooking with it! Of course, continuous seasonings should follow after each use.I'm a petite senior lady, that's why I choose the 13" instead of 14" wok. The wok is still a bit heavy for me. However, it's perfect weight for most everyone.You won't be sorry to own it. I'm not.

It’s a really nice wok. I’m a kitchen Professional, and this is my third wok. I really wanted cast iron, but as best as I can tell, this is black steel. That said, it’s very well built, solid, with excellent fit and finish. The balance is spot on. It’s just shy of 13” wide, and a bit shallower than my other woks, but no matter. It performs flawlessly, heats well and quickly. I did not temper this, as again, I’m not certain it’s steel or iron. I did season it with flax oil, which is frankly the best for such uses - It makes the hardest coat I know for either high carbon steel or cast iron, and it did a great job here. Whichever this wok is, it’s well worth the money.

This piece of metal wok is nice and pretty but it sticks to everything. Egg, veggie and stuff, total unsatisfactory. I try to return it after 10 days and Amazon issued the refund but the return code does not work and no contact with seller. Thus I can't return it despite the refund. I now have to throw into the trash can. I have no use for it. I am still trying to locate the shipper and ship it back with my expense. I just do not like the seller issue the refund and you get to keep the product. No. It's not the money. It's the principle.

Excellent wok! Just as the picture shows. It does appear to be fully hand-made as if you look and feel its convex side, it looks and feels almost like a Medieval European knight's helmet with its barely-perceptible hand-hammered imperfections. The cooking surface is very smooth. It is lightweight yet sturdily constructed. Should last a lifetime. Looking forward to make some delicious YangChow fried rice on this traditional wok.

I like the metal part of this wok. It looks strong enough for the job. It's 12.7" in diameter measuring outside edges at the top of the rim, which is a good size for my stove top. A solid three stars for that.What I didn't appreciate is the poor-fitting handle. It is shipped without the handle installed, and two screws are provided to secure the wooden part into the metal socket. It took me more than an hour of careful hand-filing the handle so it could be pressed deep enough to insert both screws, while also making sure I kept the round shape of the wood and slightly conical profile so it ended up a snug fit. Other purchasers may be fortunate to receive a handle that has been properly sized for this wok, but there's also a good chance they will end up like me having to fix the problem themselves. If you have wood turning machinery in your shed, it's a five minute job but be careful you don't take too much wood off. With a hand file it's a lot longer and more tricky.My other complaint is the wok is shipped from china in a plastic bag. There was a 12'x12' piece of bubble wrap inside the wok, which could offer slight protection in some circumstances, but seriously it's a small wonder the thing arrived without serious damage. The plastic bag was scuffed with a 4" tear in it when it arrived.One star off for the handle, and another for the lousy packaging.

Excellent wok with great workmanship. Finish is excellent, and if properly maintained is non-stick and very durable.Don’t fault the wok or the metal if you aren’t familiar with or don’t know how to maintain high carbon steel pans.

I ordered hand made wok from zhangqiu which is very expensive compared to a cheap wok from china. What I received was a cheap wok from China. It is a rip-off.
