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.

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Great cooking surface. Rust resistant and cooks easily on flame, electric or gas. I love this Wok

I decided that 53 years old that I wanted to learn how to cook better. Now, in my opinion, nothing sets the stage for a good time like great equipment. The dot-clad system is "wipe it away" easy to clean. We use a gas range and save on natural gas always cooking on low to medium high heat, at a maximum. There's really no reason to use high heat/max flame with this lock unless you're intentionally trying to seer something. That being said, a flat cast iron griddle lives on my stove top, so I do my searing there. Overall, the aesthetic extra fantastic, the dot-clad system works really well and is super easy to clean, as long as you do it right after you eat, giving it some time to cool off. I never, never, never rinse a scalding hot pan or wok with lukewarm water. Physics are a thing, and that will work the cr@p out of your frying pan or wok. The see-through lid with the steam vent hole is sturdy, and the handle does not heat up. Overall, I think this is a fantastic wok, with clean aesthetics, awesome functionality, and super easy to clean. In my opinion, they nailed it. This wok is definitely worth the money.

Love this pan. Heavy duty and nothing sticks. I make a lot of stir fries and was worried about nonstick coating on my old wok. This pan is easy to use and easy to clean. The handle is metal but does not get too hot to hold.

I've been looking for a good non stick wok for ages. I tried cheap woks from grocery stores but the food kept sticking to the surface. I decided to spend a little more and I'm so glad I did! This is a really good wok! No food sticks and it washed up like new after each meal. Spend the extra! You won't be sorry!

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.

If you let this wok heat up for about 2 or 3 minutes at high medium or medium heat with a little oil, you will get a great sear on anything you put in it. This wok really heats evenly, and while sometimes a bit of fond will stick, it is non-stick. The wok washes off easily, especially if you put a little water in it to sit before scrubbing. Some reviewer noted that the exposed stainless rim gets a little brown, but I have found the brown comes off easily. The after service is great too if you’ve got questions or need help. It’s just that you have to reach the company through the Amazon app. If you write directly to Dot Clad, or try to call, you emails will be returned, and your calls will not get through to a retail service person. I am really happy with this pan. And now I don’t have to have a dirty looking, burnt wok to put away in my pan draw.

nice similar to many high grade pans and eaay to clean but got a bit of burn colored on the rim but still very nice

The perfect design, all my old pots and pans are out of it. Being replaced with all dot clad or like equipment.

Works well on high heat. Easy to clean.

good quality

Great product. Used it just once so far, made some Chinese dishes, no sticking to the pan, and flavors turned out well. Follow its use instructions, should not be cooked on very high heat. We use it for ceramic hob stove and works well.

So not sure I received the correct size, ordered the 12 inch 30 cm and recieved the 13 inch 32 cm. Regardless, we've used it twice so far and it far surpasses my super expensive (I won't say the name) pots and pans. Follow the instructions and pre heat and start your pan on the right direction. Treat it like a cast iron pan and you will be happy. Salmon last night (amazing crisp and sear) and hanger steak tonight, I'll keep you posted on steak night.
