EXCELLENT WOK PERIOD FULL STOP! I love Asian food and I have been cooking it for a long time. I have purchased several wok pans from Amazon that did ok and the food was good,but it lacked the smoky aroma and that gets into food with high heat cooking. Well I am here to tell you that with this wok, you DO NOT NEED A 20,000 OR 30,000 BTU flame to duplicate that flavor profile. My food FINALLY TASTED like the restaurant. I had been trying to duplicate that flavor FOR YEARS and it finally happened TODAY. The wok heats up fast and it stayed hot. It is superior BY FAR to a carbon steel wok. It has a nice weight to it, but not too heavy where you can properly toss your food. Cooking is very therapeutic to me, so to be honest not being able to duplicate that flavor profile even after following recipes exactly was very frustrating to me and it made me doubt my abilities to cook well. This pan has completely restored my confidence in the kitchen. My first dish was chicken fried rice with a broccoli and snow pea stir fry with bean sprouts. It turned out AMAZING! I tasted it after I finished and it bought me to tears. I had finally done it; I duplicated the restaurant taste at home. I know people will probably think I'm being dramatic but for people that cook for their family because they can't afford to take them out, you want your family to have the very best food possible. This pan did that for me. There isn't anything left. It's ALL GONE! I am so happy I purchased this because I can't afford the HEX CLAD model. This is not a cheap knock off. It really is a very high quality wok. I will be making Mongolian beef tomorrow and I can't wait. I can't predict how your experience will be, but I can say that this wok is a game changer and an absolute necessity if you want to up your food game. Quality:The quality of this pan is top notch. You will have to assemble it, but a tool is provided. Once it's assembled, you will just stop and look at it because it's so beautiful.

I purchased this wok when the nonstick coating on the one I had been using for 15 years started to flake off. I chose this one because the price seemed reasonable and it was a little larger than my previous wok which sometimes seemed too small. I was immediately impressed with how it was packed. It came with the handle removed, but the nuts and a small wrench for attaching it were included. I took less than a minute to secure the handle to the wok. It took ten minutes to wash and season it prior to the first use. I used it the next day to prepare a cashew chicken recipe that I serve frequently. I immediately noticed that I could easily brown the chicken, something that had been time-consuming and hit or miss previously. The dish came out as good as I have ever prepared it, and clean up was very quick and easy. I will probably buy more utensils of this ame series in the near future.

So far I'm loving it! I have made several dishes in it and all came out great. It heats up quickly, you don't need to use a high heat, a medium to low heat works beautiful. For the money it's a bargain. Easy clean up. It's not that heavy as some have reported, my other wok was very heavy, this having a long handle and a small grip handle makes it much to lift. They say you can use a metal spatula, but I still prefer my silicone. The 12" is perfect for me. So don't be afraid just buy it!

Updated Review 8/330/24:Gave 1 more star and WOULD definitely recommend this Wok. Changed the way I felt about how this Wok functioned after using BUTTER instead of olive oil. I made Fideo. Onions went golden very nicely, Fideo noodles browned up by the time they were sautéed. Took very little time to toast chili powder when added to sautéed noodles, also, the alternating addition of tomato sauce and chicken broth needed the heat raised and lowered over and over. The Wok Changed with the heat changes instantly. Also, that is the double fire ring "hot burner" on my gas stove. I was able to hold that long handle the entire time and it was cold under my bare hand the entire time. This is now my favorite Wok for making Fideo. I will not use olive oil again in the Wok. I added the picture of the shrimp I did the first time, in olive oil, that did not brown at all.So, now, the only Con is the lid.Original review:The pros:1. The wok is very pretty.2. It functions like a pan at medium heat.3. The handles stay cool.4. It cleans up well, with careful effort. I saw "scratch marks" where I stirred around in bottom portion of the wok, making the "dot clad" design disappear. I thought that was awful on the first use. When I rubbed more, with a soft and soapy, good sponge, the design reappeared. So, obviously, you need to wash it gently and firmly to remove food and oil from the design indentations.5. It is large enough to cook a portion for a family.The Cons:1. The Wok is not going to function as a wok for stirfry at that heat. It did not get hot enough to put a sear on large, dried off, shrimp, at medium heat. I used a small amount of olive oil. I think it would do better with Avocado or vegtable oil.2. You have to give attention to thorough washing to get everything out of the design indentation.3. The LID is Miserable to wash. Like the other wok I bought at the same time, water AND soap gets into the channel of the lid and is TRAPPED there. You have to run more water over the glass until the soap disappears from the channel where glass and metal are indented, then, once the soap is gone, you have to spend a fair amount of time with a dry paper towel, pressing the towel firmly at the seam of glass and metal, on the top of the lid, until you get all the water absorbed by the paper towel. The water doesn't "shake" out. It doesn't dribble out standing upright because, of course, it is stuck in that channel. You can turn the lid and whe puddle if water simply rolls with the lid and settles as a puddle when you stop moving the lid.4. If you don't get the water out of that channel, it is going to get nasty and if you use the lid while cooking, the nasty water will drip into your food.5. I did not try blow drying the lid or using the back end of a hand held vacuum sealer to try blowing out the water. In either case, having to do that is ridiculous.Would I recommend the Wok? Yes, No, and, Maybe. The Wok itself, Maybe, if you don't need high heat in your style of stirfrying. The Wok if using Avocado oil or other higher smoke point oils hive better result, then, yes. If you need to use the lid while cooking, then, it is a big, fat "NO" because, the lid is horrible to wash and get the water out of the channel where glass and metal meet, and that is just wrong.For reference, the metal and glass lid for the Instapot, and, the metal and glass lids for my other, more expensive, cookware, do NOT have water seeping under the metal rim and getting stuck between the glass and metal.

I’ve been using this walk for a few months now and it’s performed fairly well. I have noticed some attention needs to be paid with cleaning and more importantly, allowing it to soak with water and soap before cleaning it and putting it away. I will say this is my first Walk purchase from Amazon, so I’m not sure how it performs compared to other manufacturers but the pre-soaking really isn’t an issue otherwise it is performed very well and as expected.
