What Others Say
Horrible Wok...
This wok is terrible. We literally used it twice before throwing it out. After the first use, we noticed that a tiny flake came off the bottom of the pan. I used the bamboo tools that it came with... but I figured I must have done something wrong.
My wife started using the wok again about a week later when clouds of smoke poured out of it. She was just adding a little oil before the food went in! The fumes released by the pans turned out to be the non-stick coating releasing/melting/burning. You couldn't breathe! Gotta hand it to the engineers behind this one - a non-stick coating so effective it won't even stick to the wok itself!
Needless to say we turned on some fans, opened the windows, and went out to eat that ... Read More
The non-stick coating came off before anything was cooked...
So, two minutes of preheating with oil for a stirfry on medium-high heat and a small explosion and fire started, then once the flames were out and the billows of smoke cleared, the non-stick coating poured off. Not peeled, but POURED off Bad product. I bought a wok for stir-fry which requires a hot wok. I have used many woks at much higher temperatures, and never had this kind of experience. They were a much higher quality, but I would not expect this kind of reaction even if I paid $10 for it rather than the $30 paid.
Avoid at all costs. Joyce Chen J21-9964 Traditional 14 Inch Non-Stick Flat Bottom Wok Set is dangerous. Directions were followed exactly!
Look Somewhere else for a decent product
This wok lasted about 3 weeks before the non-stick coating started to flake off. It is now unsafe to use for stir-fry. I still use it to boil water for a steamer, but that's it. Worthless junk that I would NEVER buy again, and I advise anyone considering one of these to not make the same mistake that I did.
Very Easy
I use this wok at least 3 to 4 times a week and it is easy clean up and heats very evenly. I am glad I purchased this item.
Do not buy this Wok
As experienced by another reviewer the non stick POISONOUS coating came off as soon as food was added. Directions were followed exactly.
