Nothing beats a carbon steel wok. Stay away from teflon!,
This review is from: 16 inch Carbon Steel Hand Hammered Wok (incl. wok ring)
Many (or only a few) years from now people will figure out that there is nothing healthy about eating stir fried food out of a non-stick coated Wok. How can it be? Non-Stick was not made for high heat and it is not good for using lots of utensils in.
I tried them all, Stainless (horrible), aluminum (not so bad!), non-stick (cancerous), Cast Iron (wonderful) and Carbon (wonderful). The trick really is in the seasoning. If you have that down and you treat it the way it should be treated (I.e. no soap, no standing liquids, heat dry, rub in oil after use) then this wok will become your cheapest as well as favorite kitchen tool. Almost non-stick without chemicals! The have several sizes from the Wok Shop (THE BEST!!!) and this one has not disappointed. My most used size. I have mostly single handle (wood) but this larger size is best with the double hancle. I like the all steel as I sometimes reseason under the broiler and that is not so good with wood handles lest you cover them up. Pros: - Great size - Durable - Natural non-stick Cons: - You need to get familiar with how to season and properly maintain (not alot of work, just a good Google search or read the Wok SHop instructions.

Exactly what I was looking for!,

This review is from: 16 inch Carbon Steel Hand Hammered Wok (incl. wok ring)
I bought this wok as a Christmas gift for my DH. He previously lived in Japan and cooks all the fun and exciting Japanese dishes that I would never think of or even try.
He loves this wok! I got the 16 inch even though there are just two of us in case we decided to have company and make some extra. He spent the afternoon seasoning it first as the instructions explained and from my understanding this will continue to season itself over time with you. Then he made my favorite seafood stir fry with noodles and some tempura veggies. I know he would have loved to make something more challenging but made my favorite first :-) The Wok Shop (who is the company selling this) sent the wok super quickly, I think I had it within a week of ordering and used standard shipping. They were nice enough to include a little "gift pack" that included some utensils to use with it and a little booklet with some receipe ideas. My husband wanted only a hand hammered wok, and this one is beautifully done. You have to look close to see where it was even hammered. The craftsmanship is just perfect. Since I don't know anything about Woks...or cooking with them I was glad it included the ring since I wouldn't have known to order one. Turns out that this is what keeps it upright on the stove burner...makes sense now that I think of it...This wok is very sturdy and I can see us having this for years! Who knows by that point I might actually learn to cook something in it. In the meantime I'll stick to my Calaphalon pans, but this wok is perfect for those who know what to cook in it. ~Good Cooking, Good Times, Good Friends

Good Quality Wok,
By Rokester "Spam Fan" (Taylor, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 16 inch Carbon Steel Hand Hammered Wok (incl. wok ring)
The wok arrived today and am very pleased with the quality. As this is my first wok, I researched /shopped local Asian markets in the Austin, TX area but could only find machine made woks in the 16" size. The machine made woks were thinner wall and didn't look to be of a robust assembly. I make those statements after comparison to the wok I purchased in which the higher quality was immediately evident after opening the package. I highly recommend this wok. The vendor also added some basic wok cooking utensils in the package and they were forthcoming with email information on shipment tracking and how to maintain the product, an A+ vendor.
