This wok is large and heavy

Bought this wok so I could make my own Asian food, not too many choices here at California's central coast. I also purchased Bee Yinn Low's "Easy Chinese Recipes"
cookbook; it has all my favorite Chinese recipes and beautiful photos.
This wok is heavy and large so I will probably give as a gift to my sister who cooks for 3 and order the 9.5 inch for myself. Nice heavy duty deep pan.

This wok is awesome. It's pretty huge and I have made several large meals for myself, wife and four kids. I got this wok on sale and saw the same thing at another store for double what I paid.

I purchased this wok for my cousin. I couldn't find one from the UK like mine. She loves it and uses it to cook almost everything. My research payed off again.
Thank God for Amazon.com

So far a great pan, creates an excellent sear on steaks.  It's very heavy and pretty big!  I love that it can be held/carried on both sides-- with its weight, it definitely needs it!
Another nice detail is that the seller has included detailed instructions on cast iron skillet care.  Thanks so much!

My wife says:

"This wok is wonderful. It is large enough to make plenty of stir fry for my family who can't get enough Chinese food. It is great for making fried rice and the steamer that is included is good for all kinds of steaming, especially veggies.

"It has a nice glass lid so you can keep an eye on what you are cooking and it comes with a bag to store it in so it doesn't scratch other pans you have or get scratched its self.  I really have enjoyed cooking with this wok and the only problem I have with it is finding a place to store it, but that is more my problem than the wok's!"

I bought this for my mom as a mother's day gift.  She already had some nice heavy-duty "Cooks" brand (not to be confused with this pan's "Cooks Standard" brand) pans from JC Penney.  She loves those ones, but said this one is even more heavy-duty.

Keep in mind though, if you haven't bought pans in a while, you might want to look at the sizes of yours or go look at some at the store before ordering.  This 12" pan is huge--if the sides were sloped just a little more, I'd classify it as a small wok!  The first thing my mom said was that she was probably going to use it for stir-fry.

The pan is actually bigger than the biggest burner on my mom's stove, so it's good that the bottom seems pretty thick to spread out the heat.  Either way, my mom is really happy with it, so I'm happy with it.

The only knock I have against this Cooks Standard 12" pan is that it's so heavy, it really should have a grip on the end opposite the handle, to make it easier to lift and carry.  Other brands do have this handle, and I think it's pretty important on such a large, heavy pan.

would prefer a removable electric unit, didn't realize that it was part of the wok, so makes it more difficult to clean. Cooks well.

Best non-stick cookware as long you season it right, here's my process: [...]

I got the 14in beast and the only problem is that it's a bit heavy

Nice pan, very large and a bit heavier then I'd like but does come in handy for cooking large amounts of food.

I bought a wok almost a year back now, but haven't used it even once. I know Chinese foods are cooked in a wok, but I just don't want to take a chance using it. I have a feeling Ill burn the food since a wok is made of a comparatively thin material than my usual pots and pans. But browsing through this recipe book, I realize that the cooling instruction for a stir fry using a wok is the same as with other pots and pans.  I plan to surprise my family with an authentic Chinese dinner over the weekend and inaugurate my wok, thanks Martha Stone!

This wok is perfect for my stir fries. It's very sturdy and so a bit heavy but not unduly so. The nonstick surface makes it really easy to clean. It holds a lot of food at one time without spilling over or splattering. I'm looking forward to years of good use with this excellent wok.

The handle was loose and I had to HAMMER it on tighter myself.  But it's a thick tough wok

It's very heavy and you have to follow the instructions for care. Also make sure you cook in a well vented area.

This is a fantastic wok! It's size are nice and the coat seems hard. The only drawback is that my first one has 3 spots of scratches. Not sure if it is from the construction or from the shipping or worse cases it is a used one. I returned the first one and risked to order again! As expected the second one is perfect! I will see how it last!

Pros:
Thick material. It can contain more heat. Good for chinese stir fry vegeteble, fried rice or fried noodle.
Heavy. Wok is very stable for cooking.
Flat bottom outside, yet round inside. It allows using less oil.
Easy to clean. My wok seems has few pores inside the wok but food unexpectedly doesn't trapped inside. I just use normal sponge with nylon scrub and warm water to wash. Heat it up on burner to fasten the drying process and layer it with oil again once it's dry.

Cons:
Too heavy. I cannot lift it up with only one hand. Hard to transfer food from wok to serving plate. Sometimes I need help.
Cast iron handles. Be careful! do not forget to use mitten or cloth.
Size is slightly smaller and not as deep as expected. I cannot cook larger portions of fried rice or noodle. Food may easily spill out of wok because of the size.

Excellent large wok, big enough for my family of five.  Any larger and it would be hard to use on my stove, which is set in a niche. I didn't need or want a flat on the bottom of the wok, but the flat area on this wok is small enough that it doesn't affect the heating pattern.  If you are looking for a deep flat-bottom pan labeled 'wok', this may not be what you want.  I wasn't sure about getting a long-handled wok, either, but I am using and appreciating the long handle.

We have been using t-fal fry pans for several years.  We have owned a number of expensive non-stick pans over the years.  The t-fal pans are attractively priced and are the first non-stick pans I have felt were durable enough for daily family use.  To say it another way - my boys cook and they haven't ruined the t-fal pans or the wok.

Excellent wok. This is the real deal. Been using for about 6 months and love it. It's a little on the heavy side but I think that makes it cook better. May be a little too heavy to use the flip/stir method with one hand. For those who complain about rusting should learn how to season/maintain a real carbon steel wok. Built like a tank, going to last for a while.
