Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Flat Bottom Wok
Customer Review: When it is not a Wok it's Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
Stir-frying in a wok - if it is to be done right, must be done at a high temperature so as to brown correctly and create a fond. In general, you cannot brown very well on ANY non-stick surface - you certainly cannot create a fond. So if you want good stir-fry you need a steel wok, commercial style stove and wok-ring. Fortunately I did not know this when I bought this pan on impulse in 1995. It has failed several stir-fry tests, but it's non-stick coating is foolproof. And I find that it is perfect for a host of other uses. Most of the time I use it to make big batches of sauces. I like the sloping edges because I can see into the pan without ducking underneath the vent hood. And the wok shape makes stirring very successful.
It has recently become my favorite pan for making omelettes, though a 10 inch calphalon commercial non-stick pan is on my short-list.
I use this pot/pan more than any other in my kitchen. And the non-stick coating is in mint condition after seven years of heavy use. (Some time earlier I had purchased a smaller calphalon wok whose non-stick coating wasn't very non-stick. And the handle on that older pan was not impressive.)
The COMMERCIAL wok has a very stylish, comfortable, and cool handle as well as a durable, really slick surface. If you are going with non-stick, I can give the Calphalon Commercial line my highest recommendation.
Description of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Flat Bottom Wok
Calphalon nonstick pans are kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This 12-inch flat-bottom wok, for example, is excellent for making great chicken, pork, or vegetable stir-fry, with a heavy-gauge aluminum exterior that assures even heating and a nonstick interior that makes low-, or no-fat cooking possible. Use a light hand on the heat dial though, to protect the nonstick surface from overheating, and use plastic, coated, or wood utensils to protect the finish. The curved handle is easy to grip and stays cool, thanks to a V-shaped split where it meets the pan. There's also a short looped utility handle on the opposite side of the pan for heavy lifting. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides the flexibility to put the pan in the oven--up to 450 degrees. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish, and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale SteinkeWoks & Stir-Fry Pans
