It’s a beautiful piece and very high quality! Still learning how to master the “non-stick” cooking with it. The initial seasoning took way longer than expected because it would never fully soak up all of the oil.
Everything about the product is high quality. I am hopeful that it will last over time. I would have liked it to be slightly larger but still satisfied.
I absolutely love this cast iron pan! The quality is outstanding – it feels solid, heats evenly, and retains heat beautifully. I’ve used it for everything from searing steaks to making crispy-skinned salmon, and the results are always fantastic. It’s already developing a great seasoning layer after just a few uses. Cleaning is easy with just hot water and a soft brush. This pan is built to last and feels like a timeless kitchen essential. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves to cook!
This wok has many positive features: it's carbon steel with a special treatment for durability; it has lovely and comfortable wooden handles on the pan and the lid; it comes with a lid that fits! Many woks don't have a lid, but I find one essential. The carbon steel finish is, in my opinion, the best material for a wok. It is capable of providing even heat at a relatively low weight pan. I have had other woks I like but some are too heavy, and others (nonstick) have surfaces that degrade. Ideally, I will treat this pan well, season it often, and not need another wok for many years, if ever!
Very hefty and sturdy build. Definitely takes some work to season and maintain. It still sticks after a few seasoning coats, but I believe it's a user error and not the wok. The wooden handle and lid handle are beautifully crafted.
It is a wonderful wok- does not wobble on my gas stove. The only con I’ve experienced so far is that it is quite heavy which makes cleaning harder for me.
