Its generous size will enable you to make delicious Asian meals for your entire family. These heavy weight carbon steel pans will render superior cooking performance for life.

The pan features a Blonde wood handle and the flat bottom sits securely on stove tops. The wood handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop, so you can easily remove the pan from the burner without using potholders. The Xylan Non Stick coating allows you to cook with little or no oil - a healthy delicious cooking method that brings out the food's natural flavors. 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.

I also had a problem with the coating flaking off... within the first week of using it. The only reason I still use it is because I'm a poor college student that got it as a gift in the first place and can't afford a new one. After scrubbing the inside bottom of the wok furiously, I managed to get all the flakes off and then some. The lid is made of thin aluminum and has bent almost completely out of shape. Awful product. DO NOT BUY THIS WOK.

I received this in Christmas, the 2nd time I cooked pork chop with it (the type with bones attached), I washed it right after I cooked the food, scratches were found. I never used any utensils to scratch it. I couldn't believe any wok would easily scratch like this one. It's a piece of junk. The bonus bamboo streamer is useless really. The only thing in that set I think is the most reliable is the bamboo spatula.
