This pan is just right for roasting and/or grilling veggies and potatoes. The handle comes off easily, which is handy when you want to close the lid on your grill.
With the handle on it feels a bit wobbly, but it stays on and so far I have had good results. Spraying the pan with PAM just before use is definately a good idea for nice browning results and easier clean-ups.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better Than Skewers!, May 19, 2009

This review is from: Cuisinart CW-128 8-Inch Stainless Steel Grilling Wok with Removable Handle (Lawn & Patio)

I have owned several of these grill baskets/woks, and this one is the best. I always liked doing shish-kabob type meals on the grill, but the problem with different foods taking different times to grill was a big problem. The mushrooms were never done and the tomatoes were falling off the skewer. This grill wok solves that problem completely.

I can stage the entry of veggies/meats into the grill wok according to the time it takes them to cook. Things like mushrooms and garlic cloves go in first. Squash, onion, peppers come next. Cherry tomatoes go in last, just enough to warm them a bit. A little spray oil, seasoning and experience and your grilled veggie dishes come out healthy and absolutely delicious. I've done quick-grill seafood medleys in this successfully, too (shrimp, scallops, calamari). Getting the grill really hot seems to be the key to getting a slight char while not overcooking.

I've owned several grill baskets and this one is much better than any other I've tried, so much so I've thrown those out and am now buying another one of these. The ability to detach the handle and securely re-attach it quickly is the feature that sets this one apart. I like to be able to close the grill's lid to retain heat since I usually cook meats on the top rack. Fold-away handles on other designs I've tried are not secure enough to use the saute` action I find essential to keeping the contents moving adequately over a hot grill, and small side-handles on others I've tried are even less useful. I just open the grill every minute or two, attach the handle, and toss the contents, adding seasoning or more ingredients as needed. Works like a charm!

The round shape is perfect - no corners for food to get stuck in. Stainless steel is nice, too. This thing gets "seasoned" like an iron skillet after a few uses. I leave mine on the hot grill when done and it pretty much takes care of itself.

You can overfill these things, which makes if very difficult to move the contents around freely, so you may want two if you find yourself grilling for more than a few folks at a time - and you have enough area on your grill.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is there an 8 inch model?, October 8, 2010

This review is from: Cuisinart CW-128 8-Inch Stainless Steel Grilling Wok with Removable Handle (Lawn & Patio)

I purchased the CW-128 8-inch Stainless Steel Grilling Wok because I wanted an 8 inch grill wok. One other reviewer mentioned the size at 12 inch. Mine is as well. The packaging has the correct part no, but the wok is way bigger than 8 inches! Was there a problem in description of the item and all are 12 inch? Or did I just get the wrong part and other people did get an 8 inch wok?

It does appear to be a quality product. The handle was labeled "iffy" by one of my work mates. It does take a little practice to get a good connection.

Not really Cuisinart but Fulham Group, a Made in China importer authorized to use the name.

<addendum> I have contacted Fulham Group and the response was "I am embarrassed to say that the 8 inches was a mistake. They are all in fact 12" in diameter. I will have this changed on Amazon. I am sorry that you were given the wrong information."
