Carbon Steel Wok Pan, 14 Piece Woks & Stir-Fry Pans Set with Wooden Lid Cookwares, No Chemical Coated Flat Bottom Chinese Pan for Induction, Electric, Gas, Halogen All Stoves - 12.6''

It’s exactly what I wanted: a basic wok with a flat bottom that will work on my crap electric stove.Don’t believe the reviews about the finish coming off. Carbon steel woks need to be treated like cast-iron skillets. This doesn’t have a finish (it has some manufacturer’s coating on it to keep it from rusting in the warehouse… wash that off). It does need to be seasoned, though.To get it working like the woks in the Uncle Roger cooking videos, you should do this before using it:1. Wash it well, dry it well. Take off the wooden handle (this is a plus: the wood comes off making it ok in the oven).2. Heat it on the stove empty and dry on high heat. It’ll turn colors and then mostly a dark flat gray after a few minutes of this. Let it cool. This is “blueing” the steel.3. Rub some vegetable oil (high smoke point oil… flaxseed, grapeseed and basic canola/“vegetable” oil all work good, not olive oil) over the *entire surface*, inside and outside, with a clean paper towel. You don’t want it dripping with oil, just the lightest coating over it all like you tried to wipe it off and it’s merely oily now. Perhaps a tsp is enough for the whole thing.4. Put the barely-oiled wok in the oven upside-down as hot as the oven goes for about 30 minutes. Let it cool. This step cooks the oil on and converts it into a dark coating (this is “seasoning” the wok/skillet by “polymerizing” the oil… turning it into hard non-stick coating).You’ll know you did it right if the wok comes out of the oven with NO oily feeling left at all.5. Repeat the oil-and-oven step a few times. 3 is good, more is always better. The first couple times you’ll see parts of it getting dark and shiny. Do it till the whole thing is dark and shiny everywhere. Besides being a durable, safe (no teflon here!) cooking surface, this coating is also what protects it from rust. That’s why it’s important to season the whole surface.NOW: you’ve got a wok ready-to-cook. After cooking, to clean just wipe it down (water and soap is ok if you need it but if it’s just oil, get the solids out and dry-wipe is ok), and then heat up the wok empty until the residual oil left behind smokes off and becomes part of the seasoning. Every once in a while, do the full-oven coat againIf it ever rusts, scrub the rust off however you want(vinegar helps), and re-season it. If it ever gets too gunked up from layers of cooked-on oil, scrub it bare with hot water and soap and re-season it. Being able to “re-do” the coating is what’s awesome about carbon-steel cookware.——-All that aside, the wok is nothing special, but the price is right and the included cookware is nice if you don’t have long tools like that. The fry rack is cool and the lid is cool (many don’t come with a lid). Because of the need to season it, I appreciate that the wooden handle comes off easily for use in the oven: it makes it a lot easier.The pattern on the surface is cool… I don’t know if it does anything, but it works fine. All-in-all, if you’re just looking for a no-frills wok to make some serious stir-fry, this is a fine choice.

Very nice wok! Sturdy. Come with a scrubber to wash it. Has the lid you can place on it to steam your vegetables. It is great for the price and worth thr buy!

There was no apron in the box. Also the box was extremely beat up and virtually destroyed, but still taped shut. Too many utensils, very cheaply made. Makers should eliminate all the cheap utensils and include only 1 set of cooking chop sticks and one good quality curved spatula/spoon. Heat ring not really needed as bottom is flat, but can be used when deep fat frying for more stability. Side wire draining rack is too small but also blocks access to the pan for moving frying food around. Wooden lid is OK for simmering soup but an aluminum lid is preferred to last longer and for easy cleaning.and sanitation.Overall, good and useful, light weight, small/medium wok, but too much junk included!

It is very comfortable to use on a regular Stove. Easy to handle and clean, great product

The wok itself is okay, on par with the price point. It meets my expectations and will do just fine for my purposes.For those reviews saying that it rusted, you have to care for this like cast iron. Rusting means improper care and maintenance. For a cheap wok, it's just fine. You have to season it which is not an issue for me but if you aren't comfortable doing that yourself, this isn't the wok for you.The reason this got only 3 stars from me is due to the absolutely horrible quality of the lid. It's splintering and chipping, right out of the box. I don't want splinters in my stir fry. I think this could potentially be hazardous so they should either improve the quality or just leave the lid off entirely. I'm going to sand the lid myself so it can be safely used. I would never use this in the current state that it arrived in.

Everything came in the package. The Wok is very nice and sleek, good quality. Don't play with it once you put your oil in there it gets hot fast. The outside does not get super hot. It does not take long to cook something and its huge. Very happy with my purchase.
