Super Super Impressed!!! My wife and I decided to purchase a wok. And with all the various types and styles that are out there. And there are alot! Weather to go with a non-stick or a traditional wok was a big big thing to consider. We went with a traditional Craft wok/carbon steel, hand forged setup. If were going to buy a wok then were going to go traditional and get the whole experience. Here are some key features to tell you about and hopefully I can answer a few of those questions you might have. IMPORTANT... Please use caution and practice safety when doing the next steps of seasoning your wok. 1st.. You should go to Youtube and watch video's on various woks there are in the world. Very informative for sure. If you decide to go the route we did with the Craft WOK then you will need to season the wok. You will also get very useful videos on how to season your new wok. VERY IMPORTANT TO DO. 2nd.. Wash your wok before you season it. I used steel wool. I used dawn dish soap with the steel wool to clean and wash the wok. After washing your wok immediately dry it with paper towels or a dry cloth. Then you will need to start seasoning immediately afterwards. WHY??? Because your wok being steel, will start to rust very quickly without a protective coating of oil. 3rd.. Before you start to season, make sure you get all your supplies together first. (see my pictures). You will need to make sure your stove is venting to the outside and that you have windows opened for ventilation. your wok will smoke when you apply the oil layer steps. This is normal. You will want to blue up your wok first.. No oil at first. Use a medium to high heat and rotate the wok around till you achieve an even blue hue or color to your wok. 4th.. I did this step 4 times: Apply with tongs and paper towel or I used tongs and a small cloth. Apply a small amount of oil (I used Avocado oil because of the low flash point) with the cloth to the surface of the wok evenly without pooling. If you have pooling wipe out the excess with a paper towel. Be careful the wok is hot... Rotate the wok around and burn off the this layer of oil. This will take like 5 minutes each time you apply the oil. Let cool for 4 to 5 minutes the do the step again. Again I did this 4 times. 4th.. After the fourth time seasoning the wok I let it cool a little bit then I put Avocado oil in the pan and green onions and ginger. I let the veggies cook for like 5 minutes and rolled it around the wok to do this final step. This step in to eliminate the possible steel taste or smell you might get after seasoning. And it worked great! This step will make your wok smell way better. 5th.. Let your wok cool then rinse/wash out your wok. NO SOAP just hot water and a sponge or cloth. I then put the wok back on the stove/gas and heated it up and again applied a this layer of oil to the pan. Let it smoke off a little and I was done. You need to do this last step each and every time you cook in your wok. This is a vital step in keeping your wok conditioned and seasoned for the life of the wok... Which will be many many years if you follow these steps. I purchased the gas top stove ring off of Amazon along with the stainless metal utensils you see in the pictures. NOTE: A lot of people asked the question as to what to do with the outside of the wok. It will be blued when you first do your steps of seasoning. All I have done with the outside is apply a THIN layer of oil/with a paper towel, and coated the outside. Simple... Enjoy your wok and remember to practice safety while doing this.

Top of the line quality! HEAVY METAL! This Wok obvioulsy can last a lifetime- and BEYOND! Well worth the small price!

This wok has been very good for the most part. The construction is super solid and feels like it will last forever. It gets hot enough to sear and stir fry, but responds to temperature adjustments quickly. That way you can properly cook a variety of ingredients in quick succession, as is common in Chinese cooking. So far I haven't had any issues with seasoning. I seasoned it in the oven with canola oil and it's been pretty nonstick. It stands up to metal utensils and scrubbing with soap. I knocked off a star for two things. First, as this wok is made with thick gauge steel, it's pretty heavy. The listed weight doesn't seem like much, but when it's full of food and you're trying to stir fry the weight starts to become an impediment. I recommend using a kitchen towel and choking up on the handle to get more leverage. The second issue is the handle, which tends to be a bit wobbly. This hasn't caused any problems so far but I'm concerned that it will loosen further over time. Tightening the retaining screws helps for a little while but the wobble always returns.

Best wok I ever owned! The instructions for seasoning it were very clear. I did it off my BBQ side burner, but it could be done on an electric stove. It turns yellow then blue as you go from one section to another. This opens the pores and allows the wok to absorb oil. The oil is rubbed on with a paper towel ball held with tongs. It’s rubbed in till there is no oil left. The end result is an interior that looks and feels like glass… beautiful! I’ve had two high carbon steel woks before, but never seasoned them like this. The Very happy with the results. Looking forward to “blackening” it as I continue to cook with it. Highly recommended!!!

I haven't had the chance to make too much with this. Using it with high heat creates smoke and sets off the alarm in my apartment unfortunately, they put directly behind the stove. But what I have made on it, turned out good. Good value for the money. It's durable and easy to clean. I did have to season it twice because I didn't do it well enough the first time and it started resting. It seems to be fine now.

First time cooking with a wok. Find this one is to be awesome. Don’t have a great experience with them except that I followed the instructions to heat it up & seasoned it. Came out great. Been making Beef & Oyster Sauce with green beans and other dishes, preparing spring rolls etc! No need to order Chinese food anymore. Use better ingredients & no heartburn & no exactly what is in my dishes. I call myself , The Brazilian “ Chef lol ENJOY YOUR WOK “

I've never own a wok nor found it necessary to have a wok - but this wok has changed my perception! So far, I've cooked fried rice and mapo tofu with this wok. Although I can't do flipping with this wok yet (the wok is heavy to hold with one hand, I need to use two hands to do the technique), I was able to cook fried-SEPARATED-rice. Great wok for a beginner like me! Apparently, you need to do a seasoning before you use the wok, but clear instructions are written on the packaging. They also have an instruction video for seasoning, which saved my time a lot from searching on the internet. They tell you the right way to season this wok, so just simply follow that. I'm glad that I got the flat bottom wok as the wok stays well on gas stove. Round bottom might have worked too, but it might wiggle around more. I like the stability of the wok. However, the wok is heavy than usual pans, and I can't hold the wok with one hand while cooking. You might want to look for a lighter wok if you wish to do the flipping technique easily. Overall, this wok has enriched my culinary experience at home. Although it is expensive compared to other woks, I highly recommend for those who want to invest in a durable wok, and upgrade their cooking experience 👍
