Cooks Standard Wok Pan Stainless Steel, 13-Inch Multi-Ply Clad Stir Fry Pan with High Dome lid, Silver

We had ordered and received the 10.5" Wok with Lid a few days ago. We found it to be extremely well made. Food doesn't stick so easily, even though it has no non-stick coating on it. The "Flat Bottom" is of great help in using it over a stove top. People can buy this with confidence. We have not used it so far on either Induction Stovetop or inside the oven, though. We had initially ordered the 12" model but found it to be extremely heavy - almost unusable on a daily basis with our physical strength. We also thought that it would be difficult to wash in our Kitchen Sink which is relatively smaller in size. Therefore, we returned the 12" (completely unused) and ordered the 10.5" instead. Though the 10.5" is also a bit heavy, it is certainly very much more manageable - both for cooking and for hand washing in the sink space we have. Please note that though it is possible to wash these in the Dishwasher, we have come to know from others that the "shine" deteriorates quite fast if it is regularly cleaned in the Dishwasher. Apparently, it becomes "dull" looking after some time. Therefore, we have decided to go through the extra trouble of washing both the main pan and the lid with dishwashing soap and soft brush, manually ourselves. Let's see how it goes for us. We might update the review after six months of usage. SUGGESTION to MANUFACTURER: In ALL models of such cookware, it is best to put another small holder on the "opposite side" of the main handle. That way, we can use both hands to move it around from one place to another. Handling it would be much easier when it is full with cooked food, and would make it safer too for most people. I know you have that holder in the 12" and the 13" models but not in the 10.5" model. Please seriously consider the addition of the extra holder to the 10.5" model as well, for future buyers. Thanks.

This is a beautiful piece of cookware. It is so great that I can not say anything down about it. It cleans up well even after frying chicken, and the size is perfect for a one person, or whole family meal. Get some Bar Tenders Friend to keep the finish perfect, and you have a winning combination. You will also like to get with this WOK the Chef's 13 inch Standard Steamer Insert. This is the perfect combination. You can then steam or stir-fry your way into some wonderful meals. This WOK works well as a soup pot too. I use it on a glass top electric cook stove, or on a gas stove. The heat distribution is excellent. The included good sized dome lid is something you really need, and many other offerings here on Amazon do not have the included lid. Do not hesitate to give this wonderful cookware a try. The seller, which in my purchase was not Amazon Prime, but another Amazon seller that offered free shipping before this item was offered with Prime, was very attentive and wanted to make sure I was very happy. Also, it was cheaper than the Prime price. I really like it.

Consider the price, I think this is a very good wok. The dome lid is way much better than most similar-size wok or stir-fry pans in the market. Here I have some tips to share. First, this is stainless steel, so does not need to be "seasoned" like cast iron. Recently some people keep saying that stainless steel pans need to be seasoned. That definitely is wrong. It does not hurt if you do season it by pasting thin layer oil but just not necessary. Second, I see some users have problems of burning stains. Easy! Just boil water and it can be removed. If you are running hard water in your house, you will also need to use citric acid to remove those calcium or other metal oxides condensed on it. Vinegar can do the same thing but I personally recommend citric acid since it is way much more efficient. Also, citric acid does not smell bad like vinegar. A bag of citric acid is not expensive (please buy high purity for food use, not for industry use) and can be used for years. Vinegar and citric acid in boil water is very strong and can remove all those stains and metal oxides. I do a lot stir-fry. I have been using this wok almost everyday for 9 months. I clean it this way and it still goes shiny (not as shiny as just manufactured, but it definitely is beautiful). If it does get rusted, it means the stainless steel coating is broken and has to be replaced (harmful for your health!). Usually this happens on those deep scratched spots. If it is just burning stain and calcium oxide condensation due to hard water... no problem at all! I attached two photos showing before and after hot citric acid solution and soap wash. If you do want a stainless steel kitchenware that is super strong and does not get scratched and non-stick at all, you should go much higher level... probably hundreds or even thousands dollars more expensive than this item. For household use, I believe this is good enough if you do clean it this way. I hope everyone enjoy using stainless steel kitchenware!

I received this pan yesterday and cooked my first stir fry in it. First off, the appearance and build quality is excellent and the size and weight are great for our purposes. It’s a real value and should last a long time. The stir fry dish I cooked turned out good, however there was some sticking, but cleaned up fairly easy. We get the same thing with our All-Clad fry pan, I think it’s just how Stainless is.... they are simply not the same as non-stick. As long as they clean up with little effort, I’m ok with some sticking. It’s a well built and a quality pan at a good price. Very satisfied!

This is one of the best woks I have purchased. It is heavy duty and is hardy. No matter the degree of heat you are cooking, the handle doesn’t at all get heated up and you can use your bare hand to lift the wok to transfer it onto another burner or elsewhere. It is very multifunctional. I have to date used it to make Indian curries, stir fries, Chinese noodles and pasta. It is like having 1 pot that fulfills all your cooking needs. The picture I am showing you is 2 weeks of using the pot daily and it is as good as new. It is also easy to clean and maintain..

This is the best wok I have had. Heat up on low setting and it retains the heat.

Purchased this when our old steel version kept going rusty - this one is great - it is very solid albeit a bit heavy so be careful with it - however it is very well made and will likely last a lifetime.

El producto llego en los tiempos establecidos y en buen estado. La razón por el cual lo compre fue por consumir alimentos nutritivos y sanos. El articulo cumple con los rasgos descritos por el vendedor. Lo recomiendo al 100%.

A lot of room to stir around and superb quality!! Recommended!!
