## Overview

The JOYCE CHEN Professional Series 12-Inch Carbon Steel Excalibur Stir Fry Pan combines lightweight, durable 2.0mm carbon steel with a premium Excalibur nonstick coating that resists metal utensil scratches.

## Description

Cook like a pro with this versatile stir-fry pan. A smaller, shallower version of the flat-bottom carbon steel wok, this pan can be used for so many dishes beyond stir-fry—from sauteed veggies to scrambled eggs. Made from carbon steel, it’s lighter and smoother than cast iron, yet just as hardy, with a nonstick coating tough even to withstand the scrapes and rakes of metal utensils. When you pop off the removable resin handle, this pan can also go from stovetop to oven to keep dishes simmering up to 500 degrees.

Review: Great Cooking Vessel ... - I just got this wok and it is already proven to be a great cooking tool. I think that a smaller wok would be too small to cook anything worth mentioning. But anything bigger than 14" diameter would be just too large to have on the stovetop. At 14" this is already a fairly sizeable pan. Add the handles and suddenly you are taking up alot of real estate. That is why I keep mine in the oven when it is not being used. Cooking with it is great. I am fortunate that my stove has one very large, very powerful burner where I place this wok. The carbon steel is very responsive to heat changes, but also seems to hold heat very well. Filling the wok halfway with oil I was able to easily make some delicious sweet and sour chicken. The side drain rack we great for these but also restricts access to cooking food, so have a long spider. I was also able to fry about a .25 pound of catfish nuggets at a time without crowding the pan or having a terrible drop in temperature. The flat bottom of the wok is great. You can set it on a burner and turn away without risk of disaster. The wood handles never got more than "warm" while cooking, even with oil splatter hitting the helper handle. The lid is aluminum and incredibly light. I appreciate that it has a smaller diameter than the wok, so it sits about 1/2" below the rim of the wok. Using the wok lid at the same time as the drip rack still makes a decent cover. Unfortunately this wok does not have a pour divot or spout, so like all round pans it is no fun to pour out oil. However, as long as the vessel you are pouring into is stable you can use the helper handle. And that makes the whole job much easier. Cleaning the wok was a breeze. Just some hot soapy water and a wipe down. As I said I store my wok in the oven since it dominates the stove with its size. The accessories are decent quality but might be unneeded extras for some buyers.
Review: Loving it! - I posted a review about the Helen Chen Excalibur wok, and am essentially repeating the same information here. I love these Excalibur pans. They have been the best non-stick pans I've owned. They're tough, durable, and get super hot on just medium heat (hot enough to carbonize/burn/sear food in a minute!) You get a fabulous wok-hee effect on your foods, even with the low heat typical of a household stove. These pans are heavy, so they do not warp (do NOT put it on high heat, it WILL destroy the pan - I wouldn't even put carbon steel or cast iron on high heat - only stainless, and then only to bring liquids to boil). These pans are a breeze to clean up. Hot soapy sponge, rinse, done! Being so heavy, this is a bit of a detraction for me, I have arthritis weakened hands. But, I manage. The Helen Chen Excalibur pans are slightly more expensive, but the quality is worth it to me. If they endure more than 5 years of abuse in my kitchen, I will have gotten my money's worth! These pans tout a 25 year prorated warranty on defects (which probably doesn't mean much, as it does not cover "normal wear or scratches" - but it's nice to see a manufacturer backing their product up with a warranty of any kind these days.) I think this Excalibur coating gives Dupont Teflon a run for their money. I searched for info about newer non-stick coatings, and found a chart that compared several, including Teflon, generic PTFE, ceramic, and others. Excalibur had the better results overall, particularly durability and heat tolerances. Google "excalibur coating" and you'll come across the test results from the manufacturer. Sorry Fabreware & Teflon-Pro, you were good in the past, but now something better has come along. I'm switching all future non-stick pan purchases to Helen Chen's Excalibur :) Now if Helen Chen would make a nice flat griddle pan, for pancakes, and a saute pan for omelets, etc..... :)
