Does this really drizzle, or is it a thick stream? I'm looking to do a very fine stream drizzle for wok cooking.

Although I am not an expert in drizzling, I would say that this oilcan drizzles. I also do a lot of wokcooking, and it's easy to add tiny lines of oil during the process. My wife and I both really like this small but solid olive oil can.I have to say however that we have the one pint version of this... Not the quart version. That might make a difference.

The spout is narrow enough that I believe you will be able to get a fine enough flow to do a satisfactory job with wok cooking. Love my toolbar.

This is not your oil can. It is not a thick stream but also not a drizzle or very fine stream. Somewhere in the middle. I am very happy with my Toolbar, using it daily , mostly for Mediterranean cooking and salad dressing .

If you pour gently you are able to get a thin stream of oil. There is a tiny lip on the edge of the spout that helps with control.

This is a wonderful wok, but, it gets super HOT, and you need to add lots of liquids, and or oil. Yes, we did season it.

After more than 30 years cooking on standard round bottom woks I just shifted to this one to accommodate my new cook top. I have used the wok many times in the last few months and have not burned anything. I am cooking with the controls set a little lower than on my old cook top, but that's because the multi-ply clad bottom retains heat once the wok heats so you don't have to set the stove as high. As to sticking, I also have not had a problem with that, although I would caution you to season this just like you would any other metallic cooking surface wok. I have found this to be an excellent product. After more than 30 years cooking on standard round bottom woks I just shifted to this one to accommodate my new cook top.

I love my wok, but make sure you properly season it. I have only used mine a few times and it did stick when I put honey in my sauce.

I've only used it in a light drizzle, and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a heavy rain because it is made of a cloth blend and probably wouldn't repel water very well. This will work fine in light rains, though.

It is indeed a good, strong stream ..... just turn down the volume a tiny bit. I love this faucet!

I've used it in a light drizzle and not had any leaking problems, but I can't vouch for it in a heavy downpour.

We've had the wok for over a year and the coating still looks brand new. We've used it on extremely high heat with no problems. We are very careful to always use bamboo tools so the coating doesn't scratch.

Stone Wear with a coating that works for me. We do a lot of stir fry and it works fine because it is so large.Don't put it in the dishwasher just wipe it out then you can wipe it with a little cooking for next time. It hasa great base on the bottom spreads the heat! Hope the deal is still on? Dave;

I have never had a hand hammered wok, so cannot compare. The Joyce Chen wok works great for me. I seasoned according to directions, clean with just water and apply a very small amount of oil after cleaning. The wok is 'virtually' non stick. Very happy with it!

The pan is not as deep as a traditional wok (say from Joyce Chen) however, I have made both main and side dishes and there is enough room to comfortably move things around.....not quite like they do at a restaurant, but it works. Thickness ? Definitely thicker than some aluminum units I've had and no thinner than an average good piece of cookware. The non stick feature is also a benefit especially for the gooier (?) dishes and also at the end when you add your cornstarch slurry, everything comes out of the pan so effortlessly. I'm quite happy with it.

I wouldn't call it a really fine mist, but it's not super "thick" either. It's a middle of the road, normal spray. Be sure to wait until contents cool (if warm when you put it in) to tighten the top though, or it would drip big fat drips forever afterward. I use mine for cleaning house, so the spray is fine. If you wanted a truly fine mist for, say, perfume, it would be too much.

If you are using over an outside high heat wok burner, 35K BTU's and up, yes the handle will get too hot to touch. On a household range, electric or gas, it should not be a problem--unless making a dish that takes a long stir fry time (which is unusual). But for under 4 minute stir fries, I never had a problem on household ranges (ie. 5K-10K BTU's).

I have not had that experience. Love this wok and the nonstick remains good after repeated use.

I own one for two years. Not that bad, as weight is concerned. I'm a female w/o strong wrist, I can handle with one hand. If I do a full wok of heavy stuff, I'll scoop some out first before lift the whole wok. It's iron, no coating, sustain heat much better. It's just healthier way of cooking. My hubby likes the dishes I made out of this wok better. I guess it's because I would be able to fully heat up the oil before stir fry. I don't worry about the coating damage and chemical release due to heating any more.

I believe there were pretty specific instructions that came with my wok. Essentially, soak with hot water and a little dish soap. After it cools, scour lightly with non-abrasive pad, rinse and dry.

If you are only doing it for a couple times...then ya it might still be a little dripping wet. But I actually have the spiket line open while spinning it so I can visually see the amount off water and that tells me how much more spinning to do. This thing is awesome for everything camping , when the electricity went out just recently. Use very very little water. Cold I suggest. Have fun!
