Customer Review: Don't buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Edit: 6/23/06
After using this wok for a year, the non-stick coating has degraded. The wok smokes quite heavily when it is being pre-heated without oil, much like a cast-iron skillet.
Also, the coating on the bottom of the wok where it contacts the burner has peeled off and there are large areas of rust and carbonized material.
Therefore I can't recommend this wok. It is simply not durable enough. I guess I'll go back to a non-stick skillet.
I got this wok with some hesistation because I've had bad experiences with nonstick woks in the past due to the nonstick coating coming off. I'm happy to say that the Excalibur coating on this wok seems very durable (it was the reason I got this wok).
I've made the standard Chinese dishes with this wok and it performs well. The size and shape of the wok is perfect and the dishes come out great.
Some people question the practicality of a nonstick wok. Having used the traditional carbon-steel woks before, I can definitely say that you have to use at least two to three times the oil in one of those things as in a non-stick wok. There's a reason why most dishes in a Chinese restaurant, even the authentic ones, come out fairly oily. Being health-conscious myself, I would rather sacrifice some taste than use an excessive amount of oil.
In any case, unless you must have 100% authentic Chinese food (not that it's possible given how cooktops are designed in the West), I would recommend getting this wok over a carbon-steel one. You won't regret it.
