4.0 out of 5 stars Great Wok, November 29, 2006

This review is from: Circulon Elite Nonstick 14" Open Stir Fry Pan (Kitchen)

Construction:
Handle feels solid, its metal with a rubber grip that stays cool. Non-stick surface has not scratched yet, in 3 months of usage. I find the same in most Circulon products, that is what lead me to this. The dark anodized outside also looks sharp.

Usage:
I use this to stir fry and steam. Wow, it is great! I use a wooden spatula, it has not scratched the surface, unlike this other non-stick pan that I have. The conductive metal also provides great flame control. Cleanup is very easy.

Cons:
No lid (this is the major reason for -1 star), and it's big, its not easily washed in a small sink.

Final comments:
I was tempted to buy an iron wok for the "wok hey", but putting oil in this thing and heating that up also seems to work well. Also, I don't have to season this thing like an iron wok, and it is a lot easier to handle. I pick it up with 1 hand and put the stir fry on a plate. It is also a lot easier for my girlfriend. I am tempted to buy a second for backup, I like it so much.. Of course I did NOT stirfry a crab in this thing, would have ruined it.

I loved it for the first few months I was using it, and was using it everyday. But the coating starts to come off and have to shop for a new pan now

3.0 out of 5 stars Handle feels heavy and cumbersome, January 9, 2007

The material is very durable and nonstick is great, except that this particular wok feels so heavy, maybe because of the long handle. I prefer the same size wok with the 2 shorter handles, which is also easier to clean too, because the short handles don't stick out of the sink!
