YOSUKATA 36 cm Round Bottom Carbon Steel Woks and Stir Fry Pans – Unseasoned Pow Wok for Stir Fry, BBQ, Grill & Camping – Hand-Hammered Traditional Japanese and Chinese Pan – Gas Stove, Open Fire Only

Good, expect some weight I wanted to move away from traditional non-stick pans, so I decided to try a carbon steel option. I chose the Yosukata wok, and I’m very pleased with it overall. It’s made of pure carbon steel with no coatings, feels solid, and is beautifully crafted. After proper seasoning, it develops a natural non-stick surface that makes cooking enjoyable, and the food turns out great. Just keep in mind that this wok is quite heavy, and the handle is angled upwards more steeply than on a regular frying pan. At first, this made it a bit awkward to toss food the traditional way. My simple solution: I hold the handle steady and stir ingredients with a wooden spatula - works perfectly fine. With proper care - washing with warm water, drying thoroughly, and lightly oiling before storing - this wok will serve you very well.

Love it, strong and sturdy, and therefore very heavy. Seasoned it as per instructions, with great results, I'm sure the food taste's better, however that could be psychosomatic, as I'm over the mood with my first wok! It ha developed a lovely patina, and looks to last generations. Well recommended.

Complete garbage. The bottom of this wok scratches and immediately becomes non stick no matter how much you season it. The blue coating scratches off, the scratches rust. Look at the other 1 star reviews and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Top quality wok. Highly recommended.

Be aware, this Wok is super heavy. Otherwise, it's fantastic. Make sure you follow the instructions on seasoning.

First time buying a pre-seasoned wok. I wasn't pleased about needing to buy a new one but changing from a gas hob to induction meant I needed a flat-bottomed wok. I carefully followed the instructions before using, and have dried it thoroughly & oiled after use, and after only 4 uses it's already as good to use as my old one was which had had much use over a number of years. Was it absolutely perfectly non-stick the first few times? Not necessarily (depending on what you cook in it) but any food bits will come off. Providing you don't go at it like a hammer & tongs, you can use the scouring side of a washing-up sponge if needed but make sure to dry well & re-season. I'm confident that full non-stick-ness will be achieved with a few more uses. Is the surface still an even dark-blue colour? No, but that doesn't affect the way it functions., and I didn't expect it to be. I'm happy with it and would recommend it.

I love my yasukata wok, it offers great value for money, heat distribution along with none stick qualities

I've had a cheap wok before and it was ok, did the job, but this one is sturdy and and you can tell by cooking with it a few times how great it is with non stick by FOLLOWING the instructions. It's got a really nice colour to the pan after using it a few times. Well happy I am !!!!!! 😀
