Tayama 13.5 Inch Iron Wok

I'm replacing my non-stick cookware with iron, stainless and anodized aluminum because the coating is something I don't want to ingest with my food anymore.I had a non stick chef's pan that I replaced with this wok because it was a pan I was using all the time. This wok is great but it will take a little while to season because you can't oil it and stick it in the oven the way you can cast iron (the handles would melt).It comes with no instructions for seasoning it.Although things stuck a little the first couple of times, if you quickly wash it w/very little soap and dry it over a flame with a light coating of oil it seems to work and is seasoning quite well; nothing sticks anymore.Iron isn't known for heat-distribution properties but it's great for searing and browning.I don't use it only for Asian cooking though; I made a great slow-cooked pasta sauce in it too and steam veggies in it as well.It took a little experimenting with the flame but now I love it.I highly recommend this before spending a bundle on a stainless chef's pan, wok or any non-stick coating.

My original order comes in with totally broken handle. So I asked for an exchange. The new one has craks on the hanging ring. However, it does not affect functionability, so I kept it (albeit a little bit disappointedly).

The wok it self works great! The seasoning is very very easy to do. The heat conduction is great too!. I would have given a 5 but for the fragile plastic parts.

It's a good iron wok, heated evenly and quickly. However, the handle broke in no more than 2 weeks. Fortunately I was not cooking when it broke, and I can still use the handle on the other side.

This would have been a good wok if it had nor arrived with a cracked handle. Good size and wok material but the plastic used on the handles must be really weak. Can not recommend. Amazon returned my money and return postage was paid.
