This wok is great for anyone who wants to cook wonderful food the old school way. It is well built and I'm sure will last a very long time.

you can tell it's good quality the moment you see it with your eyes... then the moment you hold it and learn that it's heavy and you are assured even more that you've made the right purchase.

I like the wok itself. only thing I find could be improved is the handle screw... it loosens.

And this is not the woks fault but it took me 3-4 times to season this wok using different methods.... that's acceptable since this is the first time i've done it.... we've done the salt method first which seemed the simplest to do (but hot and the salt pops!) but it didn't seem to give the "right" patina you should be looking for so we did the stove top method too.... Whoah the house was full and I mean full of smoke! we can't breath and you have to do it 3-4 times. We thought we did it right then so we started using the wok. after a few days I noticed some parts of the patina getting removed? and the color is in patches.... so I did my research and scrub it again to repeat seasoning from scratch and I've learned that the type of oil you use in stove top method is important and it takes time before you proceed in doing the next step....

now I love my wok with beautiful even patina! also this patina gives a nonstick coating that makes all those teflon coating useless for me now hehehhe...

again love this wok! and all the troubles i guess is worth it

I've had this wok for two years now, and this thing is cooking just as well as the day I got it. Good construction, and makes great chinese food.
