   I purchased this product in September 2018, and it has been working perfectly ever since. I’m very satisfied with it. To my surprise, I recently noticed that this product is listed as a “Frequently Returned Item,” which I find puzzling. Perhaps I was just lucky, as mine has had no issues at all, and its quality and performance have remained excellent over the years. Compared to the non-stick pan I bought around the same time, which has long since worn out, this stainless steel product has stood the test of time. It’s not only durable but also easy to clean, delivering outstanding cooking results. It distributes heat evenly, and its surface is resistant to damage, making maintenance effortless. This purchase has made me fall in love with stainless steel cookware, and I’ve since replaced most of my kitchenware with stainless steel items. Overall, this is a truly trustworthy product. Whether in terms of durability or user experience, it far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable and long-lasting cookware! The wok in the picture has been with me for 6 years.

   This thing is massive! Pictures and videos in other reviews don’t do it justice. It is very lightweight, especially compared to my Tramontina 10-inch 3-ply stainless steel braiser which is what I use for most of my cooking (not practical for stir frys though), which makes it relatively easy to handle despite its size, but you simply can’t avoid how huge it is. Even accommodating it next to my other dishes to drain it is a pain. It also makes one of my burners unusable since it takes up so much space. Not sure what I was thinking when I ordered it. It’s roughly 50% wider than my other stainless steel cookware, which is already more than enough for me. Stainless steel “woks” from reputable brands are just so hard to find that I gave this a chance (and based on past experiences, I wouldn’t recommend buying cookware from “random characters strung together” brands). UPDATE 10/20/2024: the dark spots issue is real, they started to appear on mine (see pictures) 🙁

   Love this wok. It’s too large and heavy for tossing (in case you were wondering) but I have been using it for EVEYTHING. Enough space to cook 4-6 servings whenever I make pasta sauce for lasagna, fried rice, soup, etc. I have been very satisfied with this purchase.

   Only the base is triple ply so it only heats the bottom fast. On the other hand, it’s really light because of that. The wok is nice and wide so you can stir and toss things around with plenty of space. It’s also very easy to clean, if things stick because you didn’t season with oil prior to cooking then just throw some water on and heat it up to loosen the charred stuff. The lid is very like other people said but it’s solid.

   Love to cook with this pan. It is lightweight enough to handle and is versatile enough to cook many different type of meals. I love that there isn’t a chemical (non-stick) coating but still super easy to clean. The quality is great and stands up to a lot of different cooktops. It comes with a lid which is very useful. It is large but we think that is perfect for our family of 4.

   To preface, I cook asian meals everyday and stir-fry at least two dishes a day. I’ve been through 3 woks the past 3 years. Carbon steel which rusted if you soaked it or didnt dry it immediately. I could not season it well at all with a flat top electric range. Tossed that out and decided to go with non-stick. Non-stick worked well until stuff stuck or burned to it. Then it was goodbye. Bought a second of the same kind trying to be more careful but the same thing happened. I decided to go with stainless steel because no matter how much it sticks, you can always get it out with Bar Keepers Friend, soaking or as a last resort; steel wool. Read all the reviews before getting it and noticed a lot say it does not heat up well enough, it sticks, it doesn’t clean well, the lid is too heavy and the wok is too light, and to only use it on medium low heat to avoid burned or stuck food. I tried it on medium low heat and it had so little heat that I could touch the sides of the pan and it wast even warm to the touch. Stir-fry meals came out soggy. I finally decided to use it on high heat, which is how stir-fry is supposed to be cooked at and everything worked great. Nothing stuck. Keep in mind, with stir-fry, you are supposed to be cooking at blazing hot temperatures in very little time. Often a dish is cooked less than 5 minutes. From my experience with this wok/stir-fry pan, those that mention burnt food are not cooking stir-fry at the speed it should be done and are not stirring as often as they should. A stir-fry should never be left alone and always tossed around until it is done cooking. Whatever leftover food stains on the wok can be worked out with some soaking and Bar Keepers Friend. BKF also removes the rainbow stains and hard water stains. I do not use the lid. It is way too heavy and you don’t need it with stir-fry. As for the wok being too light, that’s generally how it should be as the method used during stir-fry is to lift the wok up with one hand and dish/scrape the food onto a place with the other. If it was too heavy, you wouldn’t be able to do this. In summary, when using this wok: 1. Use it on high heat 2. Add oil, wait for it to heat up 3. Add food. Usually it goes onions/garlic/ginger first, then meat/vegetables, then sauces 5. Babysit the dish with constant tossing. If you must simmer, lower the heat. If you want a thicker sauce, add corn starch and water mixture. Babysit, babysit, babysit. 6. Dish out onto plate 7. Soak wok in water, immerse fully 8. If there’s still food stains, use Bar Keepers Friend I’m happy with this purchase. It is definitely a good investment as are most stainless steel cookware.

    After reading a whole host of reviews about this stir fry pan, I felt like I had possibly \made a big mistake in buying it. It only took me one day after receiving it to use it. Some people complained about the size of it, but as you can see from the pictures, that I needed all of that space. I only used it on my Jenn Aire glass cooktop, but want to use it outside on the burner of the gas grill at some point. I never went above 8 on the temperature, but I didn’t get any burn spots per se. I have come to the conclusion that mushrooms are not the best things to stir fry as they put out so much moisture, but they were delicious. I used extra light olive oil, which is for high heat. The pan seemed to spread the heat well as far as I could tell. It is a heavy pan and the lid is even heavier, I think. I plan on putting the lid away and getting a splatter screen to fit whenever possible, although I didn’t get any splatter on this particular night. I am going to hang it on the wall as was suggested by Cuisinart to keep from scratching the mirror finish on the outside. So far, I am pleased and hope this continues as I was a little more than disappointed in a Cuisinart 755-26GD Chef’s Classic Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Multi-Purpose Pot with Glass Cover that I bought about a month before. I love the shape and size of that pot, but it immediately got rust-type spots on the bottom of the inside of the pan after fixing some fresh broccoli in a small amount of sea salt to blanche it to bring out the green color. I thought the salt did it, but from what I am reading, it is just what happens with that pot. Well, at least this stir fry pan has been a winner so far. I always assumed that stainless steel pots could be used on a high heat, but apparently that is not so. I am thinking that if I want to sear anything, it will have to be with an iron skillet. You can see the pan after I washed it with just warm soapy water. The other picture is after scrubbing it lightly with Bartender’s Friend. Anyway, thought I would share my experience as I expected the worst and got a lot better outcome.

    This wok is AWESOME! Large enough for me to be flipping around food without getting it all over the stove. 😂 Going to try to make chicken fried rice tonight and, if it turns out, post a picture later.
