Souped Up Recipes Carbon Steel Wok for Electric, Induction and Gas Stoves with Lid, Spatula and Seasoning Video Guide Included (Silver)

Have paid for Carbon Steel wok and spatula. No wooden or spatula was included in the delivery package.

I love this pan! It’s a great quality pan that I’ve been using now for about a year. It’s so easy to clean using just hot water and a pan scrubber (never soap!). I then leave it to thoroughly dry on the warm hob or oven after use then add a teeny tiny drop of oil and rub it all over the interior surface with a slice of kitchen roll. This keeps the surface dry and shiny ready for next use and by making sure it’s thoroughly dry, it’ll never rust! The handle removes easily so it’s great for storing it away after use (I keep mine in the oven!) The surface stays beautifully non stick provided you dry and oil it after each use and cook with plenty of oil to coat the pre-heated surface of the pan. I’ve used the pan to deep fry, stir fry, poach and steam (using a wire rack and the supplied lid), so it has MANY uses. The price offers value for money for a pan that will last forever and has so many uses. The more you use it, rinse it and oil it, the better the cooking surface will become. These pans need continual seasoning. Mine still looks like new after a year!

La livraison a été rapide, c’était un cadeau donc je ne l’ai pas vu, mais la personne est ravie !!

I cooked with my new wok today (more on that later). I wanted to share this photo of the new wok beside my trusty 40 year-old family heirloom, which is a handmade hammered steel wok. It has been a workhorse. The hammer marks on my old wok serve to hold food that you want to pull away from the hot middle while you add more ingredients, or reduce a sauce. The hammer marks on this new Souped-up-recipes wok are more pronounced, so should serve the same purpose even better. They are manufactured, not hand- hammered. I followed the seasoning instructions exactly, including washing off the protective wax. I think not all the wax came off in hot soapy water though, as the seasoning oil just wanted to slide off. I made two applications of oil and hour-long bakes in the oven. However, the seasoning process was not really successful. Tonight I cooked kung pao chicken in the new wok. The first ingredient was marinated chicken in a generous amount of oil. The chicken stuck really bad! After cooking the chicken, I paused the recipe to deglaze the pan with some water and a lot of elbow grease. The good news is that I think the wok is ready to be seasoned again, the bad news is that we probably got some of the wax in our food. Bottom line, compared to my trusty old wok, this wok looks to be high quality. The weight is nearly the same, and the flat bottom is a little easier to deal with on the stove. Unless I come back to update this review in case I am not able to get it properly seasoned for nonstick cooking, then you can be sure that this wok is a good buy. It seems very sturdy and should last decades. *Update* After seasoning again, and doing some deep frying, this wok is perfectly seasoned and completely non-stick. *Another update after 10 months* I use this wok at least once per week. I haven't had to re-season even once. It has developed a beautiful patina making it completely nonstick. As soon as I dump the food into a serving dish, I take the hot wok to the sink and rinse with hot water. Everything comes off easily with a few scrapes of the spatula, and a few swipes with a nylon brush. No soap! Back on the hot stove with the burner off for a quick dry while we eat. I couldn't be happier with this wok!

Genialer Wok! Nach kurzem Einölen ist der Wok startklar und es bleibt auch nichts kleben. Er ist absolut kratzfest - was das Ziel meines Kaufs war, da ich keine Teflon Beschichtung mehr haben wollte.

Fijne wok. De houten deksel is handig om even de pan af te dekken. (Mosselen bv) Nu was ik hem af met heet water. Even paar seconden op het vuur om echt goed droog te worden en dan lichtjes invetten met olie Bakt niet aan.
