I absolutely love the looks and feel of this pan. I was so disappointed last night when I made my first stir fry on our new induction stove. The pan does heat up, but not to where you can get a good stir fry going (searing the meat, cooking the vegetables). I had to transfer to a different skillet, which worked well. Upon researching, I think the problem is that the bottom of the pan is only partially magnetic. There is a circle in the middle with the brand name, which is not magnetic. The pattern on the rest of the bottom has dots, so I'm guessing they are magnetic, but what's in between is not. My stovetop manual, under which type pans not to use, mentions pans that are partially magnetic on the bottom (and actually shows a picture of a bottom resembling the bottom of this pan). Unfortunately, I was so impressed with the appearance and feel of the pan that I threw away all the packaging before realizing this. The magnet stuck, so I thought it would be OK. Plus, I've already used the pan, so it's not returnable, according to the website. I guess I'll see if my daughter wants it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality, food slides right off; hard to find a nonstick pan that’s both dishwasher safe and safe to use with metal utensils but this pan is both!
The product does not come with the lid or metal insert as advertised on the product page of the Zwilling website. We reached out to Zwilling about this and they ever responded.
This is one of the most useful pans I have in the kitchen. It's perfect for all stir fry's as well as steaming and deep frying. Try it for your steamed dumplings!! This pan will heat up quickly and stay at a consistent temperature throughout the cook time. Ample size for family meals. Love to use this for fried rice dishes. Non stick surface is incredible.
This is an exceptional Wok, designed and made in Italy. The shape is perfect for fast stir frying , steaming or deep frying. It's a durable , ultra non stick surface. The handle is smooth and comfortable to hold. No seasoning needed! Easy to use, and clean!
A great quality wok made from cold forged aluminum, a great heat conductor. This forging process also allows them to put more aluminum on the bottom to help heat conduction even more, plus around the rims making them more durable. The plastic handle stays cool to the touch and can go into oven up to 300 degrees. The non stick coating is extremely durable and super slick. Clean up is a breeze.
