Any Downsides?
While we haven’t been able to find any downsides of cooking with Carbon Steel, there are two considerations to keep in mind—namely regarding care and what ingredients to avoid.
- Care: Due to its high iron content, Carbon Steel can rust when exposed to high amounts of moisture (like after a cleaning or being in a humid environment). For this reason, the best way to clean your Pan is to wipe it out with a paper towel or rag to remove any food residue. Just like with Cast Iron Cookware, you should AVOID USING SOAP. If it gets really dirty, try these cleaning methods. As with all of our Cookware, Carbon Steel should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
- Food to Avoid: Much like Cast Iron, Carbon Steel is not ideal for cooking highly acidic foods. Large quantities of tomatoes, vinegar, wine, and citrus can strip the seasoning from your Pan. If this happens, you’ll just need to reseason it.
Seasoning Tips:
- Seasoning instruction from chef Grace: Cooking slices of scallions and ginger with vegetable oil, keep moving the ingredients around the pan for about 20 minutes.
- Seasoning tips from customers: *Heat up the wok and add cold oil. Completely cover all the sides of the wok with the oil before you turning off the burner and wiping out the oil. Repeat the same procedure.
- Most important, you can always re-season the wok for achieving a better performance.

As of writing, I have had this wok for about four months. I purchased it because we have a ceramic top stove and wanted a wok with a flat bottom (Things can still be brought up the sides for less heat.). The wok itself is of good quality and feels sturdy. I clean it with steel coil scrub pads and oil it after drying. It never has had rust and shows no signs of wear. The texture lessens food sticking. The tools that come with it are light weight and cheap. The lid is fine. I would buy this again if I needed another wok.

First off, I've seen lots of complaints about the lid. It is very lightweight, almost like a balsa wood or some such and I seriously doubt it was meant for use while cooking, maybe for covering food after cooking (and no longer steaming) at best, it does have a smell to it even after washing. I plan to use it for storage purposes only and it should be fine for that. On first use some of the bottom seasoning cooked off onto our glass stovetop but it cleaned up easily with just a damp cloth, I'd recommend giving the bottom a good scrubbing to prevent this. That was the only issue I've had with this wok.The wok itself seems pretty good. The wok is fairly heavy duty and is heavier than my old, much larger wok. The bottom heated up quickly but the heat didn't seem to travel up the sides as much as I'm used to. After cooking a couple batches of fried rice and some stir fry, I'm pretty happy with this wok. As for the handle, the wooden part of mine didn't have any cracks or flaws and attached easily, the metal bracket on the wok feels strong, zero issues there. The wooden handle seems to be holding up and working just fine.All in all, I'd say this wok is a good value for the money. In my opinion, it is the perfect size for 2 cups (cooked) sized batches of fried rice. The flat bottom worked out nicely on our smooth top stove, no wobble at all, nice flat bottom. I've used that wooden spatula a couple times for fried rice and it worked fairly well, no complaints and it was better than I expected. One chopstick was warped and worthless but I don't plan on using the chopsticks anyway so no big deal. I was looking for a wok, not cheap/junk accessories for one. For the price, I'm quite happy with this wok.

I bought this wok as a gift for my husband. He loves cooking Chinese food. This one is so much more lightweight than the one he had before and it seems to heat and cook much more evenly.

Didn’t realize how big it was. Wanted a much smaller version. It is heavy, wooden lid adds to weight. Difficult to handle. Very sturdy. More for a man to use.

I've used the wok only once so far, but wanted to say, it met all expectations. Great for browning chicken, then handling the vegetables. Very nice wok.
