Pros & Cons
Pros
M offers different grades of the scotchbrite (green or blue) scouring pads. It is entirely black and non-stick - performing great. This wok is very easy to season and i already have a good patina going.
Wok is great for making stir fry, omelettes, fried eggs, scrambled eggs. I love the slightly thicker steel (compared to cheaper woks) because it doesn't warp when used on my induction stove top.
The trade-off is weight; 1805 grams (4 lbs) vs 1560 gram (3 lbs 7 oz) for my old 1. Use it frequently to stir fry and deep fry to build up the patina and maintain the non-stick surface.
Cons
It is impossible to remove the darn protective coat/lacquer. Contact with skin can cause liver damage, and that isn't even counting ingestion or inhalation of fumes. The plastic melts off and smells horrible when you initially season it.
Don't buy this. Keep scrolling past this one. This is quite ridiculous. Ended up returning it.
Just returned after purchasing about 2 months ago. There is a dent in the wok, and and the small handle is bent. Now it twists in my hands and is basically ruined--all for the cheap black plastic handle.
Highlights
Quality
I notice a big difference in the quality of my stir fry now
It delivers its a nice solid wok with the simple but basic features that make it workable
Stick with your nonsticks or get out of the kitchen instead of misinforming people about the quality
After using it the 1st time i just washed it with water and dried it on the stove with the heat on
Price
For the price you just cant go wrong
The price of this wok on amazon varies randomly
Packaging/appearance
Follow the instructions on packaging for cleaning the wok the first time
Light enough and with good angles and length on the handle to make flipping food and moving things around easy the helper handl... Read More
There wasnt any padding or extra cushing inside the box causing the handles to break through the already thin box
Just fyi1 when carbon steel is shipped to you it will have a protective coating
Competitiveness
I bought mine six years ago in 2016
My sister a chef requested this specific pan as a gift after doing a lot of research
Nothing worked to get that yelloworange crap off of it well except hours of scrubbing with barkeepers friend and a scrubbie
As a firsttime wok owner i will say perhaps i should have purchased something a little smaller
