Fast and secured arrival. It looks exactly the same as shown in the pics. It just need to be seasoned before using. Big thanks to the seller.

Received this item it certainly looked the part. Soon as you wash it and leave to dry starts to rust. Couldn’t believe it, absolute waste of money.

(The pictures are from when I was seasoning the wok) I’ve owned a few woks over the years, and nothing has come close to the Craft Wok Traditional Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Pow Wok with Wooden and Steel Helper Handle (14-inch, Round Bottom). It’s somehow ugly and beautiful at the same time—and I absolutely love it. Easily a 10/10. If you take care of it, it’ll take care of you for years. One important thing: you must season it before using it. Heat the wok until it changes from silver to a bluish color. Once it turns blue, remove it from the heat and, using tongs and a paper towel, coat the entire wok (inside and out) with a thin layer of oil. Also, remember that this is carbon steel, not stainless steel. After washing it, dry it immediately. If you leave it wet, yes, it will rust quickly. That’s normal for carbon steel and isn’t a defect. And whatever you do, don’t put it in the dishwasher. I saw someone complain that theirs rusted after doing that, but that’s simply not how this type of cookware is meant to be cared for. With proper seasoning and care, this wok develops a fantastic natural non-stick surface and just gets better with age. Highly recommended if you want a traditional wok that cooks like a professional’s.

Está más grande de lo que pensaba y para mi eso es muy bueno, buenas instrucciones para "curar", me hubiera gustado que compartieran algún pequeño recetario para tener alguna variedad para cocinar. Hasta ahora va bien, esperemos que continúe funcionando correctamente.

Wok magnifique de belle facture à culotté avec soin un article qui a une durée de vie illimité si on n'en prend bien soin. Seul bémol assez lourd mais en même temps il est en acier carbone pour moi (le meilleur)

This Wok is everything Craft Wok say it is. It’s well priced, well made and reasonably thick at 1.8mm, a little on the heavy side for some maybe but I have no issues with the weight. The extra thickness gives you flexibility when cooking on a proper burner. The handle was a little loose after seasoning as a lot of heat needs to be applied to wok which takes the moisture from the handle and shrinks it slightly...Easily fixed just soak handle in water fixed mine. I think most of the bad reviews on this wok are from people who don’t know how to work with and maintain carbon steel and most importantly season properly, there ire plenty of good vids on YouTube about how to do this, this is my first wok and I found it quiet easy. It’s a great wok to cook with, food comes out amazing with wok hei. I can’t see why this wok won’t last my lifetime, it’s a tool not an ornament, look after it and it will cook great meals for you...Cheers..

Solid and heavy but not unwieldy esp for the handle. 14-inch is not “tossable” but perfect for 2-4 persons.
