Ceramic Marble Coated Cast Aluminium Non Stick Stir Fry Wok With Glass Lid, 28 cm

I had an old steel, 14 inch WOK years ago. It was way too big for my needs, and food stuck to the cooking surface. I decided to try a smaller, ceramic coated WOK. The inside coating on this WOK is really slick. No food is sticking to it during the high heat cooking of stir fry ingredients. The problem is in the coating on the exterior bottom. It is the same slick coating as the inside. I have to hold the WOK on the circular electric element with one hand while I stir the ingredients cooking inside. The WOK slides all over the electric element if I don't hold it in place. I have several standard ceramic frying pans with the same interior coating. But the bottoms of those pans are not coated, and are bare, rough aluminum. Those stay on the element without having to be held in place. If this WOK had a non-coated bare aluminum bottom it wouldn't slide around and off the cooking element when stirring the ingredients during the cooking process. Otherwise it has worked well for my needs and the inside coating has not come off after 10 uses.

The pictures show a lid that is clear all over, but the actual lid has large, unsightly branding on it. The wok also has a second handle, while the pictures clearly show no such handle being present. Most importantly, the wok is advertised as being 5.71" deep, whereas the actual wok is only 4" deep. I returned it.

It arrived around 4/20/20 I have been using it almost daily since then, non stick and it actually does work, when ordering I didn't paid much attention to the size so I will be buying a bigger one soon but this size works great too. I like the fact that I can cook fried rice in it which was the main reason i bought it but have used it for other meals too and it works great so far. Will come back later to update my review-to soon to review about durability. 2/16/22 I love it, still works well after all this time. I use it about 3-4 times a week and not just for stir fry foods I cook other foods in it as well and nothing sticks to this date. I will look into buying another one but different size in the nest few days.

IMPORTANT UPDATE AT BOTTOM!This is a lightweight wok with a new type of non-stick coating. We prefer to not use nonstick cookware, but have found that a non-stick wok is essential. This particular coating is slightly bumpy, sort of like a lizard's skin. Food definitely doesn't stick to it-a soapy sponge is all need use to clean it.So far, we're quite happy with the performance. The best features are the non-stick coating, and the clear lid with vent hole. We've had no problems with uneven heating so far, which was a concern with the thin walls.Here's what you need to do to preserve the finish:1. Never use metal utensils.2. Rinse immediately after use. Even if you do not wash it until later, rinse immediately.3. Do not leave water standing in the pot, even after rinsing as described above. Let it sit empty (not in the sink)4. Wash with a sponge, never with an abrasive scrub pad.5. Dry after washing.6. Do not use it to store food. This pot is far too big around to be practical for storing food, but don't do it!Recommended.UPDATE AFTER 3 MONTHS USE:This has become the go-to pot in our kitchen. We use it for all standard wok applications like stir frying, but also for pancakes and risotto and more. The non-stick coating is the only one we are comfortable with (search the web for "PFOA nonstick" to learn more), and it works flawlessly. We are really happy that we purchased the 13 inch size, instead of one of the smaller models. We have disposed of our old teflon wok, and also the old iron beast that predated it in our kitchen.UPDATE AFTER 4 MONTHS USE:Everything above is true. HOWEVER, after four months use, the non-stick coating began to turn a brown color down on the bottom of the wok. Then a small flake fell off. Washing the wok with a sponge now removes the non-stick coating one flake at a time. Our favorite pot is now unusable, unless we are willing to ingest flakes of non-stick coating with our food. We're now looking for another wok.We took very good care of this pan. When the entire bottom starts to flake, you know the problem is not a scratch caused by a utensil.NOT RECOMMENDED.

Seems to be a good quality product. We have used it 3 times now and no scratches on the coating. I wish it would have a little longer/ergonomic back handle support for easier carrying or stability when lifting, emptying, or draining with 2 people, (usually required). Otherwise all is good, and the cover is a definite plus! Minus 1 star for the small back handle support.

I've tried several other supposedly reputable 'non-stick' pans before this one with little success. In spite of being non-stick, the other pans seemed to end up 'sticking' after just a short time. With this pan, it's not only non-stick but can be used as a "WOK" as well. I figured I would try it.... I LOVE IT! I now use it for everything from scrambled eggs to brussels sprouts.At first I was surprised by how light it is! Even though it has a thick bottom, the pan is very easy to toss/wield around. In spite of being a fairly light pan, it still holds temp pretty well when adding cold ingredients.Clean up has been a breeze so far. Just a little warm/soapy water and it's ready to rinse.If you're considering this pan...stop considering and get it! You won't be sorry.

Very pleased with this wok. The non-stick coating is holding up (used a handful of times now). It very easy to clean! I like that it comes with a lid which is why I chose this one over several others. The sides are pretty deep which is also something I was looking for. One thing to note is that it is quite heavy when empty and more so once you fill it with food. I certainly wouldn't recommend this for anyone who has weak arm strength.

Absolutely perfect, good quality, well made. Highly recommend..
