Does this pan heat very quickly?

It is a good quality wok. It depends on what you mean by "quickly". I'm happy with the time it takes. Remember the faster the pan heats, the thinner the pan usually is. That causes food to cook unevenly or burn. It's a good wok.

I have an electric range and it does heat up quickly. Heat is distributed evenly.

Yes it's great. It's our favorite pan to cook with and we use it for everything. The nonstick finish holds up great too.

No it does not, I returned the first one it did not work. The one I have now if I set it for 2 hours when done moves to 4 hours and so on. Cooks quicker than most of my recipes, not a bad thing. Easy to clean.

It heats very quickly, I would say closer to 5 - 10 and works great !! It has been the best set I have bought so far.

No, but i have to say that it's the easiest to clean and i don't have to scrub hard to get burned "stuff" off. if it's too bad, I just soak it in hot, soapy water until the next morning. I really love this pan and will be purchasing a larger one. I do not like anything with a nonstick coating on. Thanks for asking.

Absolutely not. This pan is very well made, as is Calphalon products. It heats well, cooks well, it's sturdy, and cleans up fast.

I would buy the pan again. I just warn that you must not use heat higher than medium or you will burn your food. This pan conducts heat very well and I am pleased with it.

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.

I don't know as I don't use this pan to much as it has a tendency to burn the food on an my electric stove. You have to watch the food so carefully that I rarely use it

Yes it does. I use this pan almost every day and so far it has performed well.

I own several Lodge cast-iron pans, but I don't own the wok. So, I can't compare directly. In general the Lodge pieces take a while to warm up but then hold the heat extremely well. This wok is fairly thin. So, it heats and cools more quickly. That's usually what you want in a wok. The advantage of this one is that it heats like a wok but is naturally non-stick as long as you keep it seasoned.

It does take a noticeable amount of time: 5-10 minutes. It has a very heavy top for a home use unit. This makes for very even browning and consistent cooking but it does come at a small price. Think of it as preheating your oven. We love ours. It gets a workout weekly, crepes, superb pancakes, quesadilla. The only down side is not the pre-heating time. It is the size and weight. It is heavy enough that you will not move it and big enough that you'll notice the loss in counter space. We stuck ours in an otherwise underused corner. We would absolutely buy this again.

I heats it up pretty quickly, less than10 mins. We've used one of these for years and it works great.

If mine said that, I missed it. However, the only time I'd use high (highest) heat is to bring water to a boil quickly. Otherwise, I keep the heat turned down a bit. Use your judgement. It's stainless steel, so you don't have to worry about the pan melting :) But while we're on the subject, I must warn you that the cover pull gets blistering hot. I did replace it w/ another pull that I took off a cover I wasn't using. Other than that, I like my pan.

No - it has a Teflon-type coating. The overall thickness of the pan is not very substantial, but it seems to work well for me.

No. The only thing I have noticed that may not be liked by some is that the pan is heavy but that is due to its high quality construction. Like this pan and would buy another if necessary.

I have not noticed it getting unusually hot. I really like this pan. It seems easier to clean then my other stainless pots (we only use stainless steel to avoid toxic non-stick coatings). Lid fits great too.
