Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen Pro-Chef 14-Inch Round Bottom Wok with Wood Handles
Customer Review: Loose Handle
Summary: 1 Stars
The handle fits loosely over the metal connector attached to the wok. No matter how hard I try to thread the handle on, it still spins freely making the wok useless. Other reviewers have experienced the same thing. One reviewer recommends this wok after being forced to *glue* the handle on! Absolutely not. I'm returning this one, and heading to Chinatown to get a better one, which I should have done in the first place. Don't buy this wok!
Customer Review: Best wok for gas cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
This is really the best wok if you are cooking on a gas stove. Flat bottom woks are really not going to give you the best flavor, and many woks readily available in the US are too heavy to lift and shake the food while cooking - which is the way a wok should be used. This wok is round-bottomed and light, and costs much less than almost all of the other woks on offer.Customer Review: Food taste great with this carbon steel WOK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this wok because I have a gas range and I wanted to try a good carbon steel wok. I was not disappointed. I was able to season the wok very easily as detailed in the instructions. This wok is light and heats up very well. The food tasted great too. You will have to purchase a ring separately as well as a cover, but for this price it's a great deal.Customer Review: Agreement w/ other 5 star reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree w/ other 5 star reviews - great product after it's been conditioned. My only grudge was the initial conditioning where you have to cook-off the film they put on for shipping purposes. It should be easier to remove a protective layer from a product without having to worry about whether it'll be getting into your food.Customer Review: 6 years tops
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used this wok for 6 years and now need a new one. The surface deteriorates with constant use over time. We did season properly and followed direction. It does however provide excellent results and it is great for the occassional wok cook. We need something else that won't break down over time.
