Product Description

Part of the Classic Carbon Steel Series by Joyce Chen, the 14" Flat Bottom Wok Set, Includes; Wok, Dome Lid, 12" Bamboo Spatula, and recipe booklet. The Flat Bottom Wok is a heavy weight at 1.8 mm of carbon steel. It is made for use on gas or electric burners and the pan's heavy weight carbon steel body is designed for rapid, even heating and cooling ¿ a must for any stir-fry. Its generous size will enable you to make delicious Asian meals for your entire family. Once seasoned, these heavy weight carbon steel pans will render superior cooking performance for life. This pan is perfect for creating such authentic Asian-style recipes as curried shrimp with lemon rice and Szechwan beef stir-fry. This pan features Blonde wood grip and helper handles. The flat bottom sits securely on stove tops and two handles make it easy to use. These wood handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, so you can easily remove the pan from the burner without using potholders. Joyce Chen's slogan "Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen," reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you. Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards¿ so she developed her own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for, February 13, 2008

This review is from: Joyce Chen Classic 14-Inch Carbon Steel Flat Bottom 4-Piece Wok Set (Kitchen)

Mine arrive with the wooden handles (much more to my liking). The flat bottom is a must on my gas range. It may not be authentic, but using a ring would be a pain. This was the thickest carbon steel product that I could get my hands on. The thick carbon steel means you can crank the heat and retain more if it. Wok cooking is all about high heat, so non-stick coatings are simply not an option. Seasoning it was no problem -- same as seasoning any other cookware that I have owned. Soap is a no-no for seasoned cookware, if you have a stubborn spot you can always scrub it with some salt.

My husband and I are thrilled with this wok!!We seasoned it according to the simple enclosed directions and use it every3-4 days now.It is heavy gauge steel that holds heat and sears meat and other ingredients perfectly for the quick cooking necessary in stir frying.The price was reasonable and we are getting our money's worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Agreed -- buy this one, don't buy a non-stick wok, May 6, 2007

I agree, season it according to directions and rub oil on it. Then after each use, only wash it in hot water (no soap or detergent), dry it, and rub a bit more oil on it. That's it! Works great. I bought the non-stick one first -- and gave that one to a friend. Then I bought this one, and love it.
