You can only cook medium flame. If you try to cook on high flame the sides will start to burn while the middle isn’t. You won’t be able to get the taste of a stir fry like that smoky flavor which you get on a real wok. But overall the pan looks durable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s good to heat the oil a few minutes before adding ingredients so more even cooking and less sticking so easier clean up. Also it can be heavy so I really like the handles on both sides. It’s also nice to have the glass lid to visualize process. We’re very pleased that there are no toxic materials posing health risks.

This pan is awesome. I found it while looking for a wok. But this is a very nice, massive pan. It has a sturdy handle on each end, and is made of Stainless Steel with Aluminum and Copper layers in the bottom to help conduct heat to the Stainless Steel cooking surface. I would gladly buy this again.
