Review: Great Quality, Sturdy Wok! - Great quality, solid Wok. Has some weight to it, easy to tell it's pretty heavy duty. Was a bit worried about seasoning it properly, but it really wasn't as bad as some other comments made it seem. Have used it a handful of times and it does a great job every time, easy to clean and re-season. Looking forward to using this for a long time.
Review: Glad I did the research! Fantastic wok! - I started my research and ordered a wok by Taylor & Ng...I don't want to bad mouth their product as to be fair I never cooked with it..But one look at it and I knew this was not for me. The way the handles were attached were with cheaper rivets and once I saw that, I didn't feel good about it...but it was very light.. I searched and read and stumbled upon Craft Wok and had a strong feeling this is exactly what I wanted. It arrived today and immediately I could tell it was super well made..It's not light..That might be an issue for smaller women or for those who want something lighter..for me, I love the weight, it makes it easier to cook.. I read many reviews and knew what I had to do to season and prepare it. I posted a lot of pictures and a video. here's what I did and how long each step took: - Washed it out and scrubbed completely two times...5 minutes - I put it on a wok ring, turned on a 20,000 BTWU burner and let it rip! It didn't take nearly as long as i thought but after about 3 minutes or so, I saw the blue starting to form..Very exciting! - I made sure to have a really good oven mitt and was very careful as obviously this is next level hot..but the weight of the wok is so good, as you can see in the photos, it would stay in different positions very easily. I basically would tilt it here or there and leave for about a minute at most and move to a different section.It was easy to do and very gratifying! The entire wok was blue and finished in about 15 minutes. Much less than I expected. I let it cool down, then i coated it with avocado oil and heated it up again and wiped it down..then did a finishing coat of oil. Then I heated up 3 or so tablespoons of oil, chopped some garlic and ginger and moved it all around...threw in some broccoli i had around...stir fried that for a few minutes, dumped it out and added a cup or two of water into the wok which was on high heat..and cleaned it. Then when it cooled down i applied a thin coat of oil. Two hours later I just had to cook on it and made stir friend chicken and broccoli. The surface was great to cook on...but there was some sticking because I turned the chicken before it was seared.. Perfect time to test cleaning while cooking! and i scraped off as i cooked and it was not bad. The dinner was great but the cleaning is what I want to share. I was able to clean 90% of the stuck food off with just boiling some water and scraping..then I used the bamboo cleaner brush to finish off and it was perfect! Fantastic fun experience and wanted to share it with others considering this wok. One of my favorite purchases across categories ...ever! Glad I took my time and didn't settle on the first highly reviewed one by Taylor & Ng..this wok is many leagues better made and substantial on every level.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone found a kid for this?**
A: Actually I have found that the 14" kids from Amazon do not work so well as they fall into wok while cooking because they can not hold on tight enough and we don't want kid parts in our stir-fry, so I bought two 8" kids from Amazon and they form a triangle over the food by grasping hands at the top, this also allows enough room for the spatula in between to toss the food. If you want to steam, I suggest at least six 8 " kids for better coverage to keep the steam in, if you try this, don't have them wear shorts, and definitely not diapers. Actually, now that i think about it, I would not use diapers if just using two 8" kids either - too risky for spillage and cross-contamination. Gotta stay healthy :) Good luck!

**Q: After seasoning the wok the wooden handle became loose.  The screws only spin in place and don't actually tighten any more.  Any suggestions?**
A: The handle is wood, My eyes rolled as I read the comment stating that the wooden handle that comes loose is a design flaw.  Well that design change aint gonna happen without the "contact Mother Nature bluetooth app"  All kidding aside, my suggestion is to remove the wooden handle prior to seasoning the wok in a hot oven.  While it is out apply several coats of oil to the wooden handle, it will swell ever so slightly resulting in a tighter fit, re insert and if need be, drill new pilot holes and insert the retaining screws or what someone else suggested insert fatter ones with deeper threads.

**Q: Do you think this wok is worth $95?**
A: Jason, I did not purchase this wok, the one I purchased had only the steel handles, I purchased  a 16" wok, also hand crafted, and it was purchased from Craft Wok for $ 52.95 item #731W87. I needed a wok larger than 14".  I properly seasoned it and I am so glad that I got it.  I am very happy with how well it cooks.  I would only recommend a wok to those who cook with gas, I think it would take a long time to get one hot enough on an electric range.  I also highly recommend the stainless steel spatula @ $13.99 by DESLON, also from Amazon it works great and stays cool.  Good luck with your choice, and happy cooking! P. White

**Q: Can you use this wok on an induction/flat top stove?**
A: you could but it won't be very effective as the pan is round. you're better off getting a flat bottom wok such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VQIP4/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482807726&sr=sr-1&keywords=flat+bottom+wok

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kitchen workhorse
*by A***M on November 27, 2025*

I've had this wok for a few months and I really like it. I seasoned it using the provided instructions and it worked great, then I washed it too hard and it rusted. Totally my fault. I seasoned and it again and it has been perfect. I use it at least once a week, if not 2 or 3 times. It is a little bit heavy for tossing food around but the cooking capacity and versatility are outstanding. It's much larger than I thought it would be and I use it for steaming with a lid and have even made soup in it. I treat it like I do my cast iron and it can do so much, and better than your average sauce pan because of its depth. I love it.
