School of Wok - 10.5"/27cm Carbon Steel Wok, Flat Bottom, Bamboo Handle

The pan stayed flat - which is key.It is very non-stick (unless you cook tomatoes in it - try not to (any acidic foodstuff will affect all carbon steel pans, it's just physics).The proofing instructions aren't thorough enough to do a good job though: you HAVE to proof these properly.Yes, wire wool it to start with (thoroughly), then heat it (dry, no oil) enough to blue the bottom, allow to cool, add an inch or so of oil and heat on a moderate heat for a good ten mins (swirling the oil up the sides - do this at all stages), cool, add a tablespoon of salt and heat to a moderate/high temperature, cool, heat until oil smokes cool and repeat - cool and poor off oil. Then rinse with warm water (which dissolves the salt, so you don't need to scrub!). You will know it's worked by the beads of water sitting on top of the surface. This improves with use.

Good little steel wok, perfect for one or two people, and it gets really hot on my gas stove. If you buy a larger wok you will need more than a domestic stove to get it hot enough all over. I used to have a larger steel wok and could not get that sizzle as the food was cooking. This wok is much better for a home cook as domestic gas stoves are just not powerful enough to cope with anything bigger; if you are cooking for more than two, just do two or more batches. It is easy to season, just follow the instructions on the packaging.

Good value for a first time wok. Quite tricky to 'season' the wok, especially on a electric hob and after a few uses, needed to 'season' the wok again. Ended up borrowing a gas blow torch to do the 'seasoning' process. If buying a new wok, I would look to buy a pre-seasoned wok.

I have only been able to use this wok once before hand washing. As soon as I cleaned it, rust has appeared all over, even on the outer base. It is completely unusable! Please do not waste your money on purchasing this product as you will be both disappointed and very annoyed. I should have stuck to buying Ken Hom brand as my last wok of his lasted nearly 10 years and it was only retired due to a broken handle.

This is a nice item but im really annoyed by the state it arrived in. The box was not damaged but the pan was dirty and had clearly been stored badly at the warehouse.I can’t return the item because i need it for today but its not an acceptable state for an order to arrive in.

Easy to use and clean but you need to educate yourself on carbon steel and how to look after it. We follow manufacturer recommendations and never use washing up liquid and make sure it's fully dry after each wash.

I gave this as a gift to my sister for Christmas. She initially didn't realise that the seasoning, prior to use, would take some time and so had to delay dinner in order to make sure this was completed first. Make sure to follow the instructions for seasoning in advance. Once she had seasoned it though she called me to say it's the best wok she has ever used. Food cooked evenly and without sticking. The flat bottom meant that she could use it easily on her gas ring without any issues - she has previously bought the stand for round-bottomed woks and found this to be more of a problem. Sister Brownie points in spades!

I have always used a non stick coated wok but was always interested to see what a real wok was like so I decided to buy this wok. I saw a few YouTube videos about seasoning the wok so I already had an idea of what to do even though the wok comes with clear instructions, the seasoning went well and was really easy because nothing is sticking to the wok at all, I'm so glad I decided to go with this type of wok as it works better and is probably cheaper than a coated, also it is really easy to clean.

This flat bottom wok is awesome for many meals, just your imagination and skill. My personal favorite for kashmiri Dum Aloo. Holds about six servings.

Nach eine richtige ''seasoning'' das Wok funktioniert perfekt.

Buen wok. Eso si, leer atentamente las instrucciones de uso para la primera vez, para que se quede "oscuro". Supongo que a será igual con todos los wok.

Un vrai wok! A bien préparer avant 1ere utilisation, et avant chaque utilisation (bien le nourrir, lavage à la main uniquement, et bon séchage obligé!) Pour cuisiner à la mode "thaï", feu à fond et spatule en action!!Il est léger, maniable, et pas trop grand. Top pour mon utilisation!

Satisfecho
