Product DescriptionTraditionally used for Asian cuisine, more and more people are discovering this healthy and easy way to prepare a number of different types of foods. Its curved sides diffuse heat and extend the cooking surface, which helps with tossing and stirring. The great depth allows ample room to cook a whole fish, if so desired. Simmering, deep frying, or steaming, are just a few of its multiple uses.
What Others Say
Buy Chen's steel wok instead
Hi, I bought one of Chen's non-stick woks -- and gave it to a friend so I could free up cabinet space to buy Chen's steel flat bottomed wok (for my electric stove). You are not supposed to preheat the non-stick wok too high, and never without oil in it. Well, to stir fry, you want to get it real hot, so the non-stick limitation defeats the purpose.
I've had no problem with Chen's steel wok without non-stick coating -- you just have to wash it in hot water only (no soap or detergent), dry it, and rub a bit of oil on it after each use. I've enjoyed using the plain steel wok a few times a week for more than six months.
Really, don't be afraid to buy Chen's steel wok instead. You don't need a non-stick wok.
