I received this as a Christmas gift which I wanted since I did not have a wok to cook Chinese dishes. It is a nice piece of cooking appliance but is heavy and cumbersome because of it size. Cooking in the wok is fine and I have done 2 meals in it and they were tasty and cooked right. If you can handle a little weight and size and have a good storage place for it, it would be a good buy.
This is my second one of these Woks. The first one became too hard to clean after I burned on some food cooking stir fry. Note that instructions say DON’T cook on HIGH heat. That is good advice I didn’t have on the first one. We had an electric cook top in our last house and it only heated the bottom, which is the way Woks SHOULD be used. When we moved and got a gas range with a large burner, I started using it and that is when I started having problems, since I always cooked on high burner setting. Also used steel wool on the first one to try to remove burn stains; a NO-NO. The first one lasted for four years of electric cook-top cooking, but I gave up after a year with Gas and destroying the finish. Following directions on this new one and hope that it lasts a long time and stays bright and shiny and easy to clean with just a sponge and soapy water
