Wok Pan, 14.2" Round Bottom Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Wok With Apron

I am not a professional chef. I am only a fulltime housewife that loves to cook for my big family. I need a big wok that is durable, easy to use and maintain. This carbon steel wok is perfect for all my needs. It made me want to cook more and explore new recipes every day.

A little bit too heavy, but the quality is good. Almost pro quality. BTW, it need to be seasoned few time before using it.

A nice wok. Unfortunately I accidentally charred the wooden handle. It's unsightly but the unit is quite usable. I should have purchased one made entirely of carbon steel. As far as heat distribution it's fantastic. Cleaning is a breeze with warm water and a stiff brush. Heat up to dry, occasional oil application will prevent rusting.

It cooked well. Clean up takes a little scrubbing. Im not a professional cook but it served my needs. The apron that came with it was neat. Also it should be obvious to anyone these don't do so hot on electric stoves. Mine worked somehow, rings of heat and an open flame are not the same

The media could not be loaded.  Wow! It came with a free apron. Quality is nice and solid. Delivered on time. Can’t wait to get cooking on this bad boy.

Excellent, and well balanced wok ready for stir fry and fried rice!!

In the end I am greatly disappointed this LIGHTOTOS Wok Pan, 14.2" Round Bottom Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Wok With Apron did not work for us. I suppose I could say it's my fault - I never thought about the idea that we've only had them before with gas stoves, but I honesty never thought it would be an issue. We have used woks over the years and only got rid of the last one on a move and haven't had one in several years. But we love how they cook and so when I had the chance to grab this LIGHTOTOS Wok Pan, 14.2" Round Bottom Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Wok With Apron I took it. I simply didn't think about a few things.Other woks we've had came in sets that included a ring that would set on the stove top if needed. This did not.Other woks have included a wish brush for cleaning. This did not.Those two elements alone are enough for me to not be able to give more than 3 stars.This one, while very well made and the materials seemingly outstanding as well as the construction, in the end with the rounded bottom, it did not sit on the electric stove. We have a toaster oven we had to brace it agains on one side and tried using another pot for the handle, but it spend any time we were not holding it, leaning off to one side.For this reason also, it never fully heated. My wife has done the original seasoning on 2 others in our married life and had maintained them beautifully. She did consult online videos to make sure she remembered how and all was as expected. Except that with the fully round bottom, the electric style stove, and no ring on which to set it, we were unable to even do that initial seasoning. Setting it to boil water before the first oiling was a waste - it never got hot enough to boil more than a few tiny bubbles at dead center after more than 20 minutes - it was barely half full of water. Then the cooking was a joke - it NEVER got hot enough on the sides to do anything. We literally sat steak meat around the sides and watched it sit there and barely heat. We ended up putting the food into the pan we were trading out for this and cooking in that as usual. We have decided a wok is just not worth it until we have a gas stove again - or get a set that includes and ring AND a cleaning brush.Oh, and the cheap apron that comes with it??? Would have MUCH PREFERRED a cleaning whisk - the thing you actually would use for the wok.We are pretty disappointed, but it is what it is. Can't recommend to anyone without the means to get it to sit on a stove top.

good handle
