Used every day!
I bought this pan about 6 years ago. I have used it almost every day making stir fry, soup, spaghetti, sauces, searing meat, EVERYTHING! It heats up fast, and the non-stick surface is almost indestructable. It's the perfect size for doing just about everything. As for the previous comment about the weight, it's 2mm steel alloy. It's actually lighter then most of the cast iron wok's I've used. And if cleaned immediately after every use, I've never had a problem with the non-stick surface. This is a fantastic pan!
Started wonderfully, now less happy after nearly 2 years.
Update(June 2012): hmm, not happy with it, the non stick became sticky. The coating obviously didn't last long. Decided it would be a waste of time to test the warranty as I don't want the same wok with the same problem. So I now have a ceramic coated wok.
Original review:
Almost a five star. The finish of the wok is truely high class, compared with a lot of the 'non'stick' varieties out there. We have been looking for a decent non-stick wok for almost a year: hunting from william sonoma, china town, crate and barrel and web sites. why this amount of passion? we love cooking with a wok, but our recent wok, a non-stick, and despite the seasoning - it just did not work. With a lot of claims on the non-stick material peeling off and the danger it poses to our health. We finally buckled as the cleaning and the sticking on the non-stick wok was just taking the enjoyment out of cooking. I think you have to bash this wok around before feeling happens. We think the...
Does Not Last Very Long
Not recommended. I bought the 12-inch Joyce Chen Peking Pan just over a year ago, and was initially pleased with its performance for stir-frying smaller amounts of food and easy clean-up. However, after about 6 months of use, the non-stick coating began to degrade. At first, I noticed that the there were little "bubbles" in the coating. Then the bubbles in the non-stick coating disintegrated, and the bottom of the pan became pitted where it is in direct contact with the heating element on the stove. Great...bits of non-stick coating in my food! I used non-scratch wooden and plastic utensils at all times, so my conclusion is that some quality control is lacking here. For the price paid, I expected this pan to last a lot longer than 6 months.
