Joyce Chen Classic Series 14-Inch Carbon Steel Wok with Birch Handles

From the manufacturer

Joyce Chen Classic Series 14-Inch Carbon Steel Wok with Birch Handles

Features

1.5mm carbon steel gauge withstands high heat and maneauvers easily
Regular seasoning brings out deep, beautiful patina
Flat bottom stays balanced on stove tops without extra accessories
Hand wash after use, wiping off extra moisture to extend the life and character of the pan

Description

Turn the burner all the way up. This carbon steel wok was made to handle high heat. This means that you can get that perfect Maillard reaction (aka browning) on sliced meats without overcooking. Stronger than cast iron, it’s also lighter and therefore more nimble, tossing veggies and rice with ease. At 14 inches, this large carbon steel wok can serve up a very generous meal. All this wok asks in return is that you season its uncoated surface regularly, and it will reward you with a deep and beautiful patina.

This is an awesome piece of cookware

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

Everyone calling this wok a piece of “junk” has missed the mark. This is an awesome piece of cookware. The key to making this not rust after one use is, yes, seasoning it correctly. Many many YouTube videos on how to do so. This isn’t a non stick coated pan from the factory. You have to do a little bit of work and season it yourself. Then and only then will it become non stick and won’t rust. I don’t think and of the one star reviews bothered to do a smidge of research before buying and using it. Just do a little bit of research, people. Google is your friend. AWESOME wok. I would recommend to anyone willing to do research before buying.

Satisfied with a well built Wok

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

Definitely glad I did some research and bought a quality wok, instead of wasting money on a nonstick.
After seasoning the wok 3 times with flax seed oil the wok was ready for ginger and spring onion.

Please read the directions or watch a youtube tutorial on how to season a carbon steel wok. The one star reviews are from people who didn't follow directions.
We love cooking fried rice, noodle dishes and stir fry in our wok!

It will darken with use.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

I've been wanting a wok for some time and finally bought this for myself after having it on my wish list. I wanted to cook Chinese dishes more authentically.

It's great once you get it seasoned. The color darkens with use and age, but that's the nature of the material. If you keep it sparkling silver, you're not really cooking, IMO.

Great wok at a good price

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

This is a carbon steel wok with a flat bottom - it's in the description but somehow I missed that and thought it had a round bottom. However, as it turns out, I am happier with this flat bottom; even on a gas stove, I think it works better to get heat to the food since I'm not cranking huge BTUs.

I've had it for about a month and seasoned it according to the directions on the blog Woks of Life. Even with scrubbing first, the initial fumes are... really strong. Make sure you have good ventilation when you do this because wow. However, once that seasoning was done, I have not noticed any other off odors or remaining factory oils. It was reasonably non-stick right away, but after several weeks of use was really great. I clean it with a Scotch Brite type sponge, using the scrubby side. Soap if necessary. I then towel dry and heat it back up to make sure it's completely dry, then coat with just a tiny bit of oil. Grace Young says in Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge that this is not necessary, but I feel like when I do so it's helped the nonstick nature to develop further. Perhaps after longer use I won't need to do that anymore.

I have not noticed any rust, even one night when I (oops) forgot to clean it after making a vinegar-based sauce. The next morning it was just fine. I do think it's important to clean and dry immediately, as a general rule, and you shouldn't have any problems.

The handles seem very securely bolted on. The weight of the carbon steel is just right - it responds very quickly to temperature changes and it's not too heavy to move around a lot with one hand. I recommended this wok to a friend and they are also very happy with it.

Quit fussing about rust

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

This is a great wok. Even if it comes with a little rust (mine did not) but even if it did just hit it with some steel wool and then season properly. The value is great and even if you manage to rust yours just use some very fine sand paper and start again. Its just rust guys quit throwing a fit. Season it properly and keep it oiled and it won't rust.

High maintenance, time consuming, but works

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

This works just fine but is *not for folks with little time on their hands.*
I read the reviews and knew what I was getting into. It works well but is pretty high maintenance so just think about your lifestyle and how often you hand wash stuff. For me, as a mom of two who can’t always get around to cleaning a dish *right* after I cook in it, I was surprised how fast it rusted. Granted I was able to get the rust out using the provided cleaning directions...
It will work, and it will rust. You just have to be committed;) And really into seasoning (first seasoning you have to do 3-4 times!)

Seasons up beautifully and is a major essential in my kitchen

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2016

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

So incredibly happy with this wok! I use it all the time as I got into a cookbook called Stir-Frying to the edge of the sky (check it out on Amazon).
Here is my breakdown of the wok
Pros:
-Wooden handle and helper handle are sturdy and perfect for managing even the fullest dish.
-the carbon steel pan allows for quick and even heating
-ridged sides are wonderful for classic stir-fry cooking, allowing food to cling to the sides of the pan as you clear a space on the floor of the pan for the next ingredient(s) > this means food clinging to the walls will continue to cook slowly and evenly
Cons:
Literally NONE. I love this pan!

NOTES: Seasoning and cleaning a wok is much like a cast iron pan. In order for this pan to work at it's best, you need to know how to clean it and maintain it. It really isn't that hard though and when done properly, just like with case iron, your pan will have the most beautiful, natural non-stick surface. I oil mine with peanut oil after cleaning, since i use that oil the most in it, and I also cook with the pan so often that the oil won't go rancid from disuse. Check out some quick you tube video's if you aren't sure how to manage it. But it really is a super quick and easy process.

So far so good

Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2019

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

So I'm in the process of tossing all my coated cookware in exchange for iron and steel. My wok included.

Read some reviews about rusting issues but purchased anyway. Research indicates rust is not uncommon from lack of use, improper cleaning or lack of seasoning.

I used peanut oil and gas burner on bbq to season. So far so good. Will post more updates in the future but I am happy so far.

Pictures show wok with 2 rounds of seasoning, nice and black so far.... I have 2 more to go before its ready for use as per manufacturers directions.

Does NOT work on induction

While it says it works on induction, it really does not. After just 2 months and not a ton of use it has totally warped and only a small portion of the bottom touches the surface of the cooktop.

Excelente. No olviden leer instrucciones de curado.

Reviewed in Mexico on July 4, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

Buenísimo wok de acero al carbono (ligero y resistente). Es el material más tradicional y el mejor para este tipo de herramientas porque te permite saltear el stir fry como es debido. Lo recomiendo muy por encima de los de hierro fundido (a menos que tengas brazos de Terminator).
***Les recomiendo mucho leer las instrucciones incluídas para obtener un curado adecuado. NO SE BRINQUEN EL PASO DE TALLAR CON FUERZA TODO EL WOK ANTES DE CURARLO. Trae una laca protectora para evitar que se oxide y debe ser removida *antes* del curado***

Great wok

Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2018

Size: 14-InchStyle: WokVerified Purchase

I've owned four other woks over the years (stainless steel, carbon steel and non-stick). I decided to go back to carbon steel after getting rid of all my non-stick pans. I've read reviews about the wok rusting and discolouring. Carbon steel will turn dark as it is seasoned by cooking which creates the non-stick finish, which is the goal. Many years ago I ruined a carbon steel wok by not cleaning it properly and earned a lecture from my mother - my parents owned a Chinese restaurant. Carbon steel should not be washed with soap - just scrub it under hot water, dry over heat and wipe a bit of oil in it.

The wok has a flat bottom which I wanted for my induction cooktop. The drawback is it is difficult to season up along the sides.

So far the wok is working out well. I've used it several times now and it is slowly developing a nice dark seasoning.
