Love my Pow Wok! February 14, 2010
CharLee Brown (fort mill, sc)
I love Asian cooking and have done quite a few stir-fries over the years, and have dreaded it due to the length of time from start to finish. I watched a few videos on [...] regarding stir-fries and saw how quick and easy (not to mention how delicious) it could be, and decided to give it another try. So Wok shopping I went.
I visited every possible web-site out there in search of the "perfect" wok. Price ranges vary as does the quality. I read the reviews on this Pow Wok and was immediately very impressed, but was leery due to the low price of it; so I kept looking. Each place site I visited, I kept coming back to amazon.com for this Pow Wok. I went ahead and ordered it with the thought of "for less than $20 for the wok, if it doesn't work out, dump it/save and buy another one."
Before I got the wok I got an e-mail from the seller giving me step by step instructions on how to season the wok (time consuming but worth every minute of it). I was impressed that for less than $20, the seller sends me an e-mail telling me how to handle the merchandise and hoping that I will be satisfied with my purchase. I have spent hundreds of dollars on a single item and never received an e-mail from the seller, let alone receive an e-mail or call back due to dissatisfaction with a product or even caring if I liked their product at all.
Word of warning: Give yourself several hours to scrub/wash/season your wok. It's time consuming, and yes, ventilate your house when doing this. My wok is gorgeous!! I used it to make sesame chicken the first night I received it and it earned the highest rating I can possibly give it.
I checked the seller's web-site and they offer some good stuff for reasonable prices and I will be purchasing from them in the future.
Happy Woking!
 Great customer service, not the greatest finish quality February 5, 2010

The owner of this shop is very kind and helpful. This Wok finish is a bit rough, but if you're not attached to looks and only performance you will really like it. The welds and lack of finish quality are worse than my first welding job in middle school metal shop, literally, I'm not exaggerating. I'm not totally attached to the looks of things, more about the performance, so I can live with it, but I was quite surprised by the rough finish. You get what you pay for, it's so cheap! I found it for half the price at a non-amazon shop after buying it here, hunt around. The cleaning and seasoning process takes some work/time, give yourself several hours! I love cooking with this thing!

The handle weld looked a bit wonky, but after using it a bit I realized how well made it is. When moderately full, it balances perfectly on the stove burner. Handle stays cool during cooking too. Very utilitarian, very excellent multi-purpose cooking implement. Took a bit to get it clean (baking soda, vinegar and a lot of elbow grease with steel wool, and then normal dish soap) before I seasoned it, but as soon as I was finished with the seasoning process (a few hours in the oven and on the stove with peanut oil), this is my new primary cooking tool! Absolutely perfect! It heats very evenly and after seasoning is the best nonstick cookware I've ever used. Vegetable fried rice with no scrubbing cleanup - General Tso's chicken with no cleanup! makes perfect omelettes! Looks great hanging on my pot rack! Love it! great price too. I'll be using this wok for the rest of my life. Hope it's a long time. Get one.

This is one of my favorite Kitchen "pans". Great Wok! Just season it and it will work great. Once seasoned it is totally non-stick. On my gas range (Blue Star) its shape really captures the heat. If you want to sweat down or carmalize some oniions or vegitables this is the fasted way to go. Also can steam vegatables in a jiffy (comes with a steam inset piece). This guy may not be the most good looking kitchen "pan" but it is pure function. Easily worth twice the price. Also great for making many pasta sauces.

The wok shop was great to work with, They kept me informed about shipping etc. However, this is not a seasoned wok. but do as they tell you and once it's seasoned, it's great. I love it....
