Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen Pro-Chef 14-Inch Round Bottom Wok with Wood Handles
Customer Review: Newly found satisfaction
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this round bottom wok years ago and fell into disatisfaction after using it a few times, having problems with sticking food and minor rust problems I put it in storage. More recently after seeing a video on wok seasoning and care I brought my wok back into service. I learned that proper seasoning and maintenance is actually easy when you incorporate it into your cooking experience. While I wish I had a gas cooktop I still prefer the round bottom because the wok ring allows you to set the height and gimble the heat to where you want it. I've been making some of the tastiest meals I've ever cooked in this wok, and rust is a thing of the past. Do all your food prep before heating the wok because you will be cooking fast. The cleanup is simple. Just run some hot water into it and a quick scrub with a stiff bristle brush and dry.
If you really want to see the round bottom wok cook the way it was invented for, you can lay it in the bed of a wood or charcoal fire. It makes backyard parties and camping trips really taste good.
Proper seasoning is going to make lots of smoke the first time, so be ready for that. Also be aware that the hot oil vapors can flash fire, so be careful. My wok is now a primary cooking implement and I've purchased the ladle and spatula to make it easier and faster to cook with. I rarely buy chinese takeout anymore because I cook it my way now. The wok is also great for reheating stir fried leftovers. The wok now has a nice blackened color to it and is frequently a conversation starter.
Wok cooking is an art form and needs to be practiced to make perfect, but "perfect" comes in many levels and stages. So begin with proper seasoning and be adventurous and experience foods in a beautifully delicious way.
