Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 13-Inch Flat-Bottom Wok

I use this wok on an electric range.I find it works well provided I turn the heat all the way up to high on a big burner.The problem, of course, is electric stoves, not the wok.As far as cooking goes it is great.As long as it is well heated before you start nothing sticks, the bottom heats evenly, and with a little bit of stainless steel polish it stays looking good as new.My one complaint is that a wok really needs a good lid for simmering sauces.This one does not include a lid, and I have not yet found anything that I can use for one.

I think this is like an American Chinese wok, because like one of the reviewer said, it has a small flat bottom. (That's what my parents prefers, because that way it would NOT move around on a stove. Seriously, we brought a bottom ring for out previous Chinese wok, but it still moves around!) So far, this is one of the best wok i seen!

Good: VERY easy to Clean, and easy to use

Good: The height of the wok is perfect for steaming overnight dish (trust me, my dad even go as far as to measure it out himself before purchasing it at our local Macy's store!)

Bad: it's kinda heavy (to me at least, because my parents didn't think so, i guess i just need to practice more on using it!)

I have been using this 13" inches wok about a year.It is a great product for the price.If anything sticks after cooking; just pour water in it and boil, let the water cool down then clean it.Some people might

think is too big(little bit too big for the standard sink) and too heavy.It is a quality product, I think it will last at least 20 years.Unlike nonstick cookware, stainless steel does not react with the food in high temp.It is good for your health.This wok is best use for cooking Asian vegetables.Remeber to use the bamboo turner.I am still looking for the lid.

I don't have much to add about the wok. It's great but takes a little time to get used to. You don't need the flame as high as on an inexpensive wok as it conducts heat really well. But I was too conservative at first, cooking too low.

One comment was the lack of a lid. E-mail or call Caphalon and get a lid to fit that matches the set. No part number on the lid I just got, but a label on the box says JR1613001. That's the glass lid with a stainless steel ring and handle. Fits perfectly and makes it perfect as far as I'm concerned.
