BIELMEIER Wok Pan 12.5", Stir Fry Pan with Lid, Gloves & Cookware Accessories, Carbon Steel, Suitable for All Stoves (Flat Bottom)

Well made and has held up extremely well after several uses. I season the wok after each use to prevent rusting. Great value for money.

Worth every penny! well constructed, i seasoned it for the first time today.

This wok is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. Its carbon steel construction makes it a robust and durable tool, perfect for high-heat cooking and quick stir-frying. But before diving into buying it, there are a few things worth considering: Aesthetic Wooden Lid: While the wooden lid looks great, it tends to warp slightly when exposed to steam and then cooled. It doesn't really excel at heat retention, so its main value is aesthetic. However, don’t worry—it can be straightened again with a bit of steam. Requires Seasoning and Maintenance: Being carbon steel and not stainless steel, this wok needs regular seasoning to prevent rust and enhance its non-stick properties. This could be a drawback for some, as it requires more attention than your average pan. Weight: Due to its sturdy construction, it’s moderately heavy, which can make it a bit tricky to handle, especially when loaded with food. Care: You can't toss this in the dishwasher, and harsh detergents will strip the seasoning off. That means you'll need to re-season it before your next use. But don’t worry—seasoning is a quick process that only takes a few minutes. Initial Hassles: During the first few uses, the wok’s seasoning process might cause some food to stick if not handled properly. Black Residue: The blackening is a result of the seasoning and heat treatment designed to boost corrosion resistance and create a natural non-stick layer. However, during the first few uses, you might notice some black residue coming off on towels or cloths when cleaning. This is normal, completely harmless, and will disappear after a few uses. Misunderstood Quality: Some people might say it feels like low-quality material, but this is mostly due to a lack of understanding. It’s carbon steel, not stainless steel. If you throw 3 kilos of food in it and improperly lift it, it’s normal for the handle to feel the strain. The black residue isn’t some dangerous chemical like Teflon—it’s harmless oxidation from the heat treatment. In conclusion, aside from the wooden lid, this is absolutely a product worth buying if you understand the care required for carbon steel.

Bought this wok over a year ago, use it often, and it's become my favorite pan. When seasoned and heated properly, it's practially nonstick. The carbon steel allows it to be lighter than cast iron, though it's still pretty heavy if you're trying to toss your food while cooking. The other thing to keep in mind with stovetop woks is that you need a really high flame to get it hot enough to function well and produce real wok hei. I don't think it would work well on an electric stovetop. Gas is better but residential gas ranges have to be turned way up. An induction range or commercial gas burner would be best. I manage with my gas range on high. It's also a really well-made, beautiful pan.

Well made, light weight,so easy to use. I was amazed how well packaged everything was, anda useful tote bag to boot! The rich wooden handle comes in its own air bubble tube to prevent any damage to it. The wooden cookware is rich and well made as well and its own lofa sponge! The stepped wooden lid is well made as well, no rough spots or chips. The removable handle is easy to put on and take off, allowing the wok to be used in the oven upto 450 deg. Seasoning is easy, and step by step instructions are included and easy to follow. I would suggest that you treat the wooden lid and utensils as you would any fine wooden kitchenware. Just rub a little food grade mineral oil or wood care oil on before using and as needed after. The last picture shows the last paper towel from the seasoning process. A little black is OK! Store your wok up side down to prevent any moisture build up that could cause rusting. This IS steel and like cast iron needs protection from moisture. Reseason as needed. The more you use it, the better the non stick gets. It is NOT treated with any non stick coating, so no icky stuff in your food! I am more than happy I chose THIS wok. I love it, and you will too! Happy cooking!

This product is absolutely amazing. It is so versatile that it is my go to cooking apparatus. I don't know how I ever made it without using a wok. It is the right size and I'm able to do good stir fry and the seasoning process took a while, but it functions perfectly. I am able to sauté, stir-fry, deep fry and even make popcorn in this wok as it is so functional. I compared many woks as I'm new to wok cooking but are very happy with this product. If I had any criticism it would be that I wish they had included more information about other methods to season the product. In addition it would have been nice to add a small instruction or recipe book had been included. I'm not quite sure really what the gloves and loofah brush was for, as I would have like some instruction to understand what they were for as related to the wok; meaning was the loofah brush designed to be used ongoing or during the seasoning process. I assume the plastic gloves were just an extra. I think a brochure of some kind would have been good to talk about maintenance for their product. All in All a very good product and highly recommend.

Unfortunately, when I received this product, the handle did not fit. The metal rod to screw the handle on was not long enough to reach through the wooden handle to the metal socket. It could be fixed by cutting the wooden handle shorter so that the metal rod can reach the screw hole of the socket. Very disappointing, and very difficult to use without a handle. We shouldn’t need to saw off a portion of the handle so that it can fit on correctly

I've had this wok for a long while now. A couple years at lease if even that. While it's easy to use and nice, I've found that for what ever reason small pits have formed. We take care of it as one should for woks, in fact we have two others from different brands. Neither of those formed pits. So word of caution I suppose. It still works it just forms pits.

It is sturdy and good..Happy. About 1.5 kgs

Solid quality and good items

Looks good and Cooks good. (Definitely would recommend this and looks aesthetically pleasing).

Está muy bonito pero se le pega todo desde el primer día.

It's on the heavier side for sure but it looks and works great. It does warp a bit a tiny bit under heat - electric stove - but not bad enough to affect cooking. It looks great too. Really pleased with this wok.
