Is this a spun wok giving it a distinct pattern of concentric circles? The photo is not clear enough or enlarged enough to see if it has.

Yes it does have that pattern of as you say, "concentric circles". I hadn't noticed it before because my wok has pretty much blackened. I still love this pan. There is a similar one I saw in the last few months at World Market (which is like Costco I think) almost identical in looks and shape, but it is lighter weight.

It's flattish, but not perfectly flat. The sides aren't rounded but there is a thin ring around the circumference and a large inner circle which makes the kettle sit up about 3/8" off the burner unit. That leaves about a 3/4" wide indented middle circle which is not on the burner.

No. Mind is round. I love it. Works every bit as well as my much more expensive Le Creuset. I've had it almost a year and use it a couple of times a week.

This is a fair observation. I love this pan, but strictly speaking it is not a wok at all :)

That I do not know, exactly. I know that the Logic cast iron wok is round inside. Logic is a brand name and they are very popular with cast iron products. I have a Logic cast iron wok and I like it very much. I used to have the Bayou Classic wok and I returned it, because I did not like the design. Therefore, if I were you, I would buy Logic cast iron wok.

Yes, mine did. You can faintly see it in the photo. The wok is sitting in it.

I'm not sure what it is. I scrubbed it with Dawn and a plastic brush, coated it with a light canola oil and stuck it in the oven - what a bad smell. I had to then clean it with mineral spirits, then scrub it again, then season it with light oil and an hour in the oven. That worked. And it is a great wok! If I had it all to do over again I'd clean it with mineral spirits first and then scrub it and then season it. You have to get that nasty factory coating off first!

It is coated with wax to protect from rusting during shipment. It is definitely cast iron, and beside being a bit rough in its casting (which is typical today), it is a pretty nice wok. When I received mine, I cleaned off the wax with soap and a brush, coated with some coconut oil, and seasoned it in the oven for several hours. Then I coated it again, and seasoned it one more time. I have had this for about a year, and am absolutely satisfied with its performance. I have used stainless steel woks in the past, and I would consider this a nice upgrade from that. The only downfall is it can be pretty heavy just to handle with one arm. It is coated with wax to protect from rusting during shipment.

This is a round bottom Wok with a ring that it sits upon. Handles are to small. Consider getting one with a larger handle. The only thing we kept was the cover.

it doesn't work very well with woks because of its curvature. you won't be able to fix it to the side. the same applies to all saucepans that are not straight, even a small curvature will make it difficult. it works great with different heights.

I would say it is neither. It is a njce looking, large pan for the price. I just found it not good for stirfrying, and fnd I don't use it for anything else.

There isn't one. Looks like something is wrong with the photo. I don't remember the image looking like that, but no worries, there's nothing on the pan at all.

Gal, there is a groove around the bottom. This is strictly a lasagne pan I think. I tried to use for roast chicken and vegetables; had to struggle to keep juices even in pan. Otherwise, I love it!

The corners are rounded and sides are tapered. In comparison, I also have a pair of Wilton square cake pans and they have true squared corners and straight sides.

No, it is two prong (two cylindrical holes for the female end, don't know how best to describe it). I have an electrical wok at home that uses the three prong you are talking about. This is not it.

I cannot remember because I returned my order. This pan is not the same as the photos which lead me to believe it was a flat bottom frying pan. It is not, and the shape is much more like a wok. The central contact area or flat surface for induction is quite small, as small as a 6 or 7 inch frying pan, even though the photos show a very large flat bottom. I know this does not help with hanging but I wanted to tell you the photos are not pictures of the pan being sold.

No, it's just the wok pan only. The 2nd to 6th photos are of a different pan with lid. Can't imagine why.
