I have this exact stir fry pan (same line, same model) that I've used for over a decade. I bought it at a Williams-Sonoma scratch and dent sale ages ago as it had a tiny nick in the handle. It has, however, served me exceptionally well, has a nice, rounded surface, and has been excellent for stir-frying.

A former roommate, however, put it in the dishwasher once, and it looks terrible on the outside, so I was tempted by the price here to purchase another one.

The new one is nothing like the one I had before. The one I had was made in Colorado, has a nice, rounded cooking surface inside, and is heavy and strong construction. The new one is thinner, has a flat-bottom cooking surface, and is made in China. It feels flimsier from the handle to the bowl. It cooks 'okay.' Had I started with this one, I likely wouldn't have bought another, as it's just not the sort of product that is liable to hold up with the kind of wear through which I put my pots and pans.

That said, it's not a terrible pan. It's a sight better than the cheapo pans one often starts out with. It's just not as good as I was expecting from my previous experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars a little small, but the best non-stick wok yet, December 4, 2009

This isn't a true wok, but it does it's job. If you're cooking for a more than 2 people I would get a larger one. This has a small surface on the bottom that is flat, so it actually rests on a flat surface without rocking off. The pan heats up slowly, but I've noticed that the food cooks evenly when it's heated up. The pan is heavier than it looks, but you can tell that the materials used are pretty good. The handle only gets warm to the touch, so you don't have to worry about it getting super hot. Definitely worth the upgrade from my IKEA branded nonstick cookware. At ~[...] bucks or so, it's worth it.

I bought this wok in Macys. As an Indian, I fry a lot of vegetables like okra, ivy gourd, potatoes etc. Even though while cooking, the ingredients stick to the wok, the taste is much better than cooking them in a teflon coated pan. I cook both ways and I really found there is a difference in how the end product tastes. Even though the food sticks to the wok, it is absolutely easy to clean. I use the regular scotch brite and a regular detergent. I don't have to scrub. I just put water for a minute, throw away the water and wipe it once with the scrub and you see a clean wok again. I am extremely happy with this purchase. I also use this to make some South Indian dishes which use batters.
