GJ496 Round Bottom Wok, 14"

As long as you take care of this carbon steel wok properly it should pose no issues, the curvature is just perfect and so is the size, the quality is also excellent. The handle is made of real wood and will never splinter by the look and feel of it if you dont abuse it. The patina on my wok has built well and somehow better than the other wok i have (of another make). Its a relatively heavy wok so tossing it is a bit tough but for its size its not deathly heavy. The riveting is also great, i doubt it would pose issues but if it does ill write it here and update the review

I have grown to love this...nobody else but me is allowed to touch it! It has been lovingly seasoned and is now blackened and extremely non stick. I can even fry egg for fried rice and it will not stick. When I am done a quick wipe out with a damp cloth, then I just pop it back on the hot ring to make sure its properly dry or it will rust. I have made some amazing dishes in this, its large, it sits neatly on my giant gas ring and I can toss it as not so heavy but heavy enough. Has a quality feel and now its seasoned cooking with it is a cinch. I am glad I bought this rather than one of the non stick ones, its more authentic and I do worry about teflon at very high temperatures.

Have been using the for a few weeks. The wok looks really expensive and sturdy hence it’s heavier than cheaper ones. I Googled on how to season (prepare) it for cooking and have been enjoying cooking with it. Food heats quickly and wok is easy to clean after using. I have arthritis in my hands so it’s a little heavy at times so bear this in mind.

It's a excellent wok for a body builder it's very heavy wok and well worth the money but for me I couldn't toss anything in it it's to heavy so if you want a wok go for a lighter one but can't fault it apart what I have said well worth the money

I bought this wok as it looked like a good product. However! the manufacturer instructions (London Wok, Com) as to the method and process for seasoning your wok prior to use were absolutely ineffectual as it only worked on a 5" diameter on the base.Due to this mess l went on line to London Wok .Com web site, and to my surprise found their seasoning process was totally different to that which were enclosed with the wok.As the wok was mildly seasoned l believed according to London wok,reprocessing was normal practice, l followed step by step the on line (London Wok, Com).~~~~~Disaster!! l now own a burned sticky mess? not the well seasoned cooking wok l hoped for. l don,t believe l can return this wok as l will be held responsible.

I seasoned the wok before use and it looks and feels fantastic. Its a great size too. I had a smaller wok for years and food was alway spilling on to hob. The stuff stays inside the wok and there's plenty of room. It feels well made - like it will last for years.

Great wok and great service. Sent me the flat bottom instead of round bottom, but after contacting them they sent me a round bottom one out the next day so can't complain. This is a traditionally made carbon steel wok and once it has been burnt in and seasoned properly nothing should stick to it. You don't need to spend any more as this will cook better than any teflon coated wok once seasoned. The easiest way to remove the manufacturers coating is to just heat the wok up to a high temperature and burn it off, provided you have a gas stove hot enough and proper extraction. I have an outdoor wok burner so I didn't have to worry about the smoke.

sturdy wok
