This is the first wok I bought after I went through a series of regular non stick varieties. I love this wok but it does have some drawbacks. First of all seasoning, I dont have a gas stove so I had to bake this wok in the oven four time with oil on it to season it properly. One time that set off the smoke alarm, and everytime there would be this horrible smell of burning oil and steel in the house.
But once I had finished with the whole seasoning process it was a fantastic wok, and Im sure its going to last me for years, it heats up really quickly and makes the most fabulous dishes and is practically non-stick.
Im soon gong to be switching to an electric wok though for two reasons, one I have a flat eletric stove and even though the wok ring helps, Im still afriad it might tip over (though in two years and once a week "wokking" it never once has). Secondly, the time has come for it to be seasoned again and I dont think I could take it again.
But if you have a gas stove then THIS WOK IS A MUST. Its amazingly easy to season on a gas stove and cools down immedialty once you turn off the heat. Its fantastic for stir frying and deep fat frying but unforunatly, it doesnt meet the needs of my electric stove.
