Craft Wok Big 16 Inch Heavy Canton Style Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Wok (Round Bottom) / 731W87

Outstanding Wok, Excellent Craftsmanship and a good weight.I’ve tried many wok’s over the years, I wanted a more traditional wok and eventually settled on this wok.First impressions, excellent craftsmanship, good weight and size.My husband seasoned the wok for me, and I put it to work right away. I cooked Chow Mien, it was lovely having the room to toss the noodles and other ingredients, sadly some of the noodles started to stick and burn (my fault) but it was one of the best chow mien I’ve tasted. The following day I decided to cook another chow mien, this time I put to much oil in it (over compensated) but it still tasted nice.Like with any new kitchen equipment you buy, it takes time to get used to it. This wok was a pleasure to use but more importantly, I really enjoyed cooking in it.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Wok. Yes it’s a sight to behold, excellently made and makes cooking pleasure. Always remember, if you mess up it’s not a big deal, just scrub it clean, dry it off, and spot season the area where you’ve been scrubbing, then just burn it off and your good to go.

This a big, heavy wok, not one you can pick up and flip food around in. It also takes up a lot of space. It needs to be seasoned, which is straight forward if you follow the instructions. The size means you can cook large quantities of food in it. Once at temperature, it stores heat well. You will need one of those round bottom wok holders for your hob. Overall, a decent addition to our culinary wares.

I've had a few carbon steel woks in the past and this is head and shoulders above everything I've had. After a good cleaning to remove shipping oil (to stop it rusting) and using a tabletop induction wok stove it was extremely easy to do the first seasoning. The actual wok itself is much thicker than my previous woks and bigger by a few inches which will make it easier to cook larger items and for deep frying. I'd also say it's extremely good quality with well riveted handles.

Heavy nice quality wok.

I've been looking for a good Cantonese wok for years, this is perfect. Well worth the price and is of a quality to last decades.

At first I felt it is too big to use, but the perfect cooking it gives each time with heavy base makes cooking enjoyable. After seasoning food does not stick and food cooked in it is very tasty.

Find it a chore to season

I like this wok very much, good size for my family.
