Review: Best a man can get for fried rice 🥰 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **The Wok That Rocks: A Culinary Heavyweight Champion!** As someone who's tried frying pans, non-stick pans, and even a questionable skillet from my college days, let me tell you: the Craft Wok Big 16 Inch Heavy Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Pow Wok is the heavyweight champion of my kitchen! **First Impressions:** When I unboxed this behemoth, I felt like a blacksmith preparing for battle. It’s not just a wok; it’s a weapon! The craftsmanship is so impressive, I half-expected to find Thor’s autograph on it. The hammer marks on this thing are a testament to its hand-forged awesomeness, making it look like it was forged in the fires of Mount Doom (or at least a really intense workshop). **Performance:** Cooking with this wok is like driving a Ferrari, only cheaper and without the risk of speeding tickets. The heat distribution is so even that it makes my old pans weep with jealousy. Stir-frying vegetables? Perfectly crispy. Searing meat? Juicier than a soap opera. Even my scrambled eggs now look like they belong in a Michelin-starred restaurant. If this wok could talk, it would say, "You're welcome," after every meal. **Ergonomics:** The wooden handle is a blessing for my delicate chef hands. It’s comfortable, sturdy, and has a grip so good, I could probably stir-fry during an earthquake. The steel helper handle? Genius. It’s like having a trusty sidekick who never lets you down, no matter how heavy the load (or how clumsy the cook). **Cleaning and Maintenance:** Sure, it requires some TLC (tender loving care, for the non-wok-savvy), but treating this wok right feels like a culinary ritual. Seasoning it was surprisingly therapeutic, and now it sports a non-stick patina that would make a Teflon pan blush. Just remember: no soap! Treat it like your best cast iron buddy. **Conclusion:** The Craft Wok is not just a cooking instrument; it's a lifestyle upgrade. It's for anyone who wants to feel like a kitchen ninja while making dinner. If Bruce Lee was a chef, this would be his wok of choice. Whether you’re stir-frying, deep-frying, or just admiring its sheer badassery, this wok delivers. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. Your taste buds (and probably your muscles) will thank you. This wok rocks, and that’s no yolk! --- I hope this review brings a smile to your face and captures the essence of your new wok!
Review: Best wok available in my opinion. - I ABSOLUTELY love this wok. I built a jet burner wok stand and use this on it. I used the jet burner to season it also and it's non stick 100%. It's extremely well made and heats fast and cools fast like it should. I have never had a problem with the wooden handle as others have said. I would recommend this wok to anybody who is serious about wok cooking and especially if you have a jet burner set up. I see this wok lasting a long time even using it at extreme temps on jet burner.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the handle be removed to season this wok in the oven?**
A: Yes it can be removed, in fact I took my screws out and put larger ones  in to make it more secure.  If you follow the directions one seasoning a walk on the stove you might find it much better to season it on the stove to keep the oil from  puddling  in the bottom of the walk.

**Q: What is the liquid capacity for this product?**
A: If I was making, say, hot and sour soup, I think I could fit a gallon of soup in this wok. But, I don't recommend cooking liquid in this container.  The bottom is too unstable and the wooden handle is obviously for turning and tilting. This is a wok, not a pot.

**Q: What’s a good size lid for this please?**
A: It's a 16" pan, so I'd assume a 16" lid.

**Q: where is this made?**
A: I know it is, appropriately, made in China.  When it arrived, The Province was named and we were impressed, but 
I do not remember which province It was.  It is well crafted by someone who knows how to make a good wok!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy-duty, large, and very well made!
*by S***E on July 15, 2024*

First, this wok met all my expectations for its size and quality of construction. It's extremely well made. Due to the nature of carbon steel, after the initial seasoning process and first use for meal preparation, I knew I needed to re-season it and keep a light coat of oil on it to avoid rusting. Cabinet space is limited, and we have a closet we converted to a small appliance and cooking-related "pantry", so I ordered a set of hooks that hang over the top of the door, and I slightly bent in the two middle hooks to accommodate the wok handle (the first pic shows how it hung crooked before I adjusted the hooks). The seasoned (lightly-oiled) wok is now hung out of sight where it won't transfer oil to other items, and it's also a convenient spot to hand the extra-long stainless steel wok utensils I ordered with the wok (Craft Wok brand for all, and overall, the exceptional quality of products exceeded my expectations).
