Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen Pro-Chef 14-Inch Round Bottom Wok with Wood Handles
Customer Review: Large, but seasoning didn't work well
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the first time that I had to season a wok appropriately, and I followed the directions exactly. However, either the factory coating didn't come off properly or I somehow didn't do it right, because the surface is rusting, and it makes the food inedible. I will try re-seasoning it, but I am not impressed.
Also, the bottom of the wok is flatter than I have experienced, so that even though I have a gas stove and try to rotate it around in the Chinese style in which I love to cook, it still pretty much stays in the same position. I should have just bought a cheaper one at the Chinese store.
On the pro side, it is very sturdy and the handles are nice, but it has been much more of a pain than it should have been.
Customer Review: Not Round Bottom, But Good For A Flat Bottom Wok
Summary: 4 Stars
Juat a "heads-up" for those of you looking for a nice Round Bottom Wok. This wok is listed as "round bottom", so I ordered one for use on my gas top stove. I specifically wanted a round bottom wok as I not only believe they cook more evenly, but I have a wok ring to use with it. Amazon suggested I buy a wok ring to go with this wok. When it came, it was FLAT BOTTOM! I was so disappointed, but ordered another (which shipped very quickly, thank you Amazon) and the second one was ALSO FLAT BOTTOM! I returned it, too. I am taking a break from the order-and-return cycle, but hope to shop again here with Amazon. I just won't order the Joyce Chen Round Bottom Wok...although the quality looks superb.Customer Review: Useless, used it twice and threw it out
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't understand why anyone would by a wok (or any kitchen pan) that is not seasoned. It takes 3-5 consecutive seasoning to make this pan work (according to instructions) then its a laborious process to make sure it maintained its season after each use. You are suppose to wash it, heat it lightly to dry off all moisture and put on a layer of oil to keep it seasoned. Who has all that time after they cook to make sure a pan is properly seasoned. I threw mine out after two uses because the season was too troublesome and the pan was disgusting looking after a few uses. Stay away and buy a Tfal WokCustomer Review: Happy with this wok
Summary: 4 Stars
I wish it were a little bigger but other than that, it has seved me well. I have been using it about twice per week for about 6 months now and it has held up well. It is a little more work to clean the the teflon version that you see for sale but this is much safer because you dont have to worry about teflon flaking off into your food and ingesting it. It heats fairly evenly but would be even better if it were a bit thicker but all and all, its a nice addition to anyones' kitchenCustomer Review: Item was not as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered a "new" product but it did not arrive as advertised. The wok was poorly packaged and not sealed. Upon review there were many dings and scraped in the bowl of the work and the bottom looked as if it had been used previously. There is no way I would accept this as a new item and have since returned it. I am disappointed with the purchase and would not purchase from this seller again as the defects were obvious and there is no way the item could be passed off as "new".
