Amazon.com Review
Designed by Helen Chen, daughter of renowned Chinese food pioneer Joyce Chen, the Asian Kitchen Excalibur line of cookware helps bring Asian cooking into the Western home. Crafted from durable carbon steel with a 2 mm thickness, the cookware combines rugged construction with convenient non-stick coating, so food cooks traditionally but cleans up quickly. Named for their premium 2-layer non-stick coating, Excalibur pans feature secure riveted handles made of stay-cool Bakelite. Perfect for the rapid heating conditions of searing and stir-frying, they are safe for use on gas, electric, and induction stovetops.

This Excalibur stir-fry pan is a substantial cooking tool, suited to rapid cooking of meats, seafoods, and veggies. It features a flat bottom, steep sides, and a handle ring for hanging. Measuring 12 inches in diameter, it should be washed by hand for best results. A 14-inch version is also available. --Emily Bedard

4 out of 5 stars good construction workmenship. But non-sticky coating wear off quickly   January 30, 2010

good construction workmenship. But non-sticky coating wear off quickly. I now simply have buffed off the coating and use it as a seasoned corbon-steel wok.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent!   January 21, 2010

Cooking was such a hassle until I found this pan! I have tried everything from cheap Wal-Mart brands to Calphalon pans, but in the end they all end up the same: warped or thrown in the pantry never to be used again.
I purchased this pan after doing lots of research. Carbon steel is one of the most popular materials used in traditional woks, but since this pan is coated with Teflon, I don't need to season it! The pan's able to withstand and distribute the high heat needed to stir fry, and afterwards clean up is a breeze! NOTHING sticks to it!
Although the pan is heavy (I wish it had a helper handle), it has really been a charm. After throwing countless numbers of pans out the door, I'm so happy I've finally found a keeper.



5 out of 5 stars Great wok!   December 3, 2009

I ordered this wok so my boyfriend and I can make stir fry. so far, I LOVE IT! First off, it is a perfect size for a meal for two! Second, it cleans so easily! Only thing is that it is a bit heavy, would be nice to have another handle on the opposite side.


2 out of 5 stars Non-stick coating good, outside coating peeling off already   December 1, 2009

I intended to purchase a joyce chen pan, but inadvertently purchased this one (Name similarity caught me off guard, should have been more careful). I have a flat surface glass stove top, so friction shouldn't be an issue, but after only a couple uses the bottom of the pan coating has started peeling away and there is even small spots of rust! Mind you I hand clean this gingerly because of the non-stick coating inside the pan. I have never put it in the dishwasher. no scrubby type sponges have even been used on this pan inside or out. In fact it still looks new except for the bottom of the pan. Because this is just going to get worse I will need to purchase a better flat bottom wok. Maybe one that only has the non-stick coating on the inside with no coating on the outside of the pan. I guess someone at Goodwill will get it if they are willing to deal with rust on a pan. Who knows maybe this one was defective, I cannot say, but I am very disappointed. Again I must stay the inside "excalibur" non-stick coating works great, too bad the outside didn't.

Bought this product based on great reviews above. I am Chinese so I use product daily. Now, for about 3 months, now the teflon is already wearing off! It's bad product in my opinion although it looked great when I got it and it doesn't stand everyday uses.
