Product Description
This is the shape and material of the traditional round bottom wok, used for generations, and with great success we might add. Yes, you do have to season it or it will rust. However, over time it will become virtually non-stick and in fact age and use will improve this piece, much like your grandmother's cast iron skillet. Carbon steel is an excellent choice for high heat cooking, and the wood handles allow you to move the wok around without burning yourself.

 Great Purchase - HANDLE IS FINE July 10, 2009

Prior to buying this wok, I had been interested in buying a wok for some time. I did a significant amount of research and decided this one would be the best one for my money since a seasoned wok appeared to work better than a teflon wok and a round bottom also cooked better than a flat bottomed. I was a little worried that the handle might be loose according to other reviews, but I figured it would be something I could fix if it was an issue.
After I received the wok, I set out to season it. Make sure you don't use vegetable oil, since it will cause a lot of smoke. Canola or peanut oil works better. Also, it works best to heat up the wok to a really high temperature before applying the oil to a small spot with something like a paper towel and then repeating for each area. Using this method, no oil is ever sitting in the pot and it seems to work better for me.
While seasoning a wok was a new and challenging experience for me, I was able to do it without much trouble. The handle also proved to be fastened to the wok firmly without any issues.
So far I love it and have had no issues with it. Great product, especially for the price.
 Loose Handle March 14, 2009

The handle fits loosely over the metal connector attached to the wok. No matter how hard I try to thread the handle on, it still spins freely making the wok useless. Other reviewers have experienced the same thing. One reviewer recommends this wok after being forced to *glue* the handle on! Absolutely not. I'm returning this one, and heading to Chinatown to get a better one, which I should have done in the first place. Don't buy this wok!

I seasoned it as suggested. It took forever, but I think it will be worth it.
Best classic Wok for the price, but.. February 8, 2008

Make sure you season it constantly. As another reveiew mentioned, works well with gas cooking like our previous Wok did.
