Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Keilen China Village Natural Carbon-Steel 12-Inch Stir-Fry PanCustomer Review: Well built but crucial design flaw Summary: 3 Stars
Pros: Thick, heavy gauge metal
Nice solid wooden handle
Flat enough in middle to fry an egg
or a pancake, in addition to stir fry
Cons: Low sides that flare outward, instead of up at a steeper angle
One of the main advantages of a wok, especially a natural wok without a non-stick coating is to be able to stirfry at high temps. (non-stick releases what scientists think may be toxic fumes at high heat) AND have the sides of the pan tall enough so that grease doesn't splatter all over your stove. Unfortunately with this wok the sides are only 2 1/2" tall (the wok that I was replacing has sides 3 5/8" high) This might sound trivial but it makes all the difference in the world when you have to clean your stove after each meal! The sides are also flared outward at a shallow angle instead of more vertical which makes it harder to flip your food with a wooden spatula. Aside from these issues its a well built wok.
Remember to try and get the wok you want the first time because, with its heavy weight, the shipping cost will make returning one an expensive proposition!
Description of Keilen China Village Natural Carbon-Steel 12-Inch Stir-Fry PanStir Frying lets you cook meats, fish, vegetables and poultry over high heat, using small amounts of cooking oil. As a result, it is a healthier way to eat and you can prepare a whole meal in no time. Vegetables stay crisp and crunchy and meats, poultry and seafood are tender and juicy. Heavy weight traditional natural finish carbon steel does require seasoning. 12-Inch diameter. Flat bottom type for all range types including induction. A great all-purpose tool for daily cooking, the stir-fry pan is perfectly at home in amateur and serious kitchens alike. This roomy 12-inch version from Keilen's China Village collection combines several elements to give it star-power performance. Crafted from professional-weight carbon steel, the pan offers fast, even heating and superior temperature retention so it responds well to changes made during cooking. This is particularly helpful with high-heat Asian-style dishes, where the chef needs to perfectly brown delicate onions and thoroughly cook meat all in one dish. Generously curved in a wide bowl shape, the pan also maximizes available space so all food gets equal surface time. The flat-bottom is suitable for any range type, and the stay-cool riveted stick handle is made of handsome dark wood. A metal end ring allows for hanging on a pot rack nearby-a nice convenience since this pan is likely to be in high rotation. One care note: The traditional uncoated finish does need seasoning prior to use, but then provides a lifetime of natural nonstick service with little maintenance needed. --Kara Karll
