Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen Classic 14-Inch Carbon Steel Flat Bottom 4-Piece Wok SetCustomer Review: amazing.. Love it! Love it! Love it! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very nice heavy wok. I recently bought a range with a 16000 BTU burner. This wok works great with it. (range hood that extracts fumes to the outside is a MUST) IMHO, if your burner is not > 10000 btu, most woks would be the same. It does rust easily, so care has to be taken as mention in other reviews. Seasoning it took a 1/2 hour to get it black at the surface bottom, but after many uses, nothing 'much' sticks. What ever that does stick easily gets brushed off with water and a scrubber. Just soak it while you are having dinner. Frying noodles (flat and wide rice noodles) was a challenge at first, but after a few uses, it does the job very well. A word of reminder, this wok + high heat = quick water evaporation. A tip would be to cover the wok if you want to maintain some water moisture in the food and turn down the flame towards the end of cooking. CONS: my wife doesn't like this wok since you have to work fast on it and she prefers the old Calphalon nonstick wok. Since we both cook different dishes, this wok does get quite a lot of mileage ever since I bought it. Mine came with wooden handles as well, and it looks better than pictures. The package came well packed and no damage was apparent.
