Product DescriptionThis is the shape and material of the traditional round bottom wok, used for generations, and with great success we might add. Yes, you do have to season it or it will rust. However, over time it will become virtually non-stick and in fact age and use will improve this piece, much like your grandmother's cast iron skillet. Carbon steel is an excellent choice for high heat cooking, and the wood handles allow you to move the wok around without burning yourself.
What Others Say
good pan
I seasoned it as suggested. It took forever, but I think it will be worth it.
Best classic Wok for the price, but..
Make sure you season it constantly. As another reveiew mentioned, works well with gas cooking like our previous Wok did.
i love it
it is important to season it right but I've been using it non stop since I first got it
Not bad
The only reason we are not using it much is that it is too big for a standard sized stove.
Not Round Bottom, But Good For A Flat Bottom Wok
Juat a "heads-up" for those of you looking for a nice Round Bottom Wok. This wok is listed as "round bottom", so I ordered one for use on my gas top stove. I specifically wanted a round bottom wok as I not only believe they cook more evenly, but I have a wok ring to use with it. Amazon suggested I buy a wok ring to go with this wok. When it came, it was FLAT BOTTOM! I was so disappointed, but ordered another (which shipped very quickly, thank you Amazon) and the second one was ALSO FLAT BOTTOM! I returned it, too. I am taking a break from the order-and-return cycle, but hope to shop again here with Amazon. I just won't order the Joyce Chen Round Bottom Wok...although the quality looks superb.
