YOSUKATA Carbon Steel Woks and Stir Fry Pans 34 cm - Traditional Chinese Japanese Wok with Flat Bottom - Compatible with Induction, Electric, Ceramic, Gas cooktops, and Open Flame, BBQ, Grill

This 6-month review underscores why this kitchen essential has firmly established itself as a highly recommended product in my culinary arsenal. Pros: Superb Heat Distribution (5/5): Even after half a year of constant use, the YOSUKATA Carbon Steel Wok Pan continues to impress with its impeccable heat distribution. It consistently delivers perfectly cooked dishes, whether I'm stir-frying, searing, or simmering. Ease of Cleaning (5/5): The non-stick surface and carbon steel build remain as reliable as day one. Cleaning this wok is still a breeze; a quick rinse with warm water and a gentle wipe with a soft sponge effortlessly restores it to its pristine condition. Impressive Sturdiness (5/5): Endurance is the name of the game, and this wok excels. After six months of high-temperature cooking and frequent use, it displays no signs of wear and tear. It's as sturdy as it was on day one. Versatile Cooking (5/5): This wok's versatility hasn't waned. It continues to be my go-to for a wide range of cooking techniques, from deep-frying to steaming and beyond. Its generous size and flat bottom make it a true kitchen workhorse. Cons: Initial Seasoning Required (4/5): The need for an initial seasoning process to develop its non-stick properties remains unchanged. While it might deter those who prefer ready-to-use cookware, the exceptional performance more than justifies the effort. Requires Ongoing Maintenance (4/5): Carbon steel cookware demands a bit more care, even after six months of use. It still needs to be meticulously dried after each use to prevent rust. For those willing to invest in its upkeep, it's a minor inconvenience. In conclusion I felt that it is a recommended product, thatswhy decided to give a review.

I decided to share my experience with the Yosukata wok, since I myself relied on reviews from other users before buying it. I usually cook with pans made of cast iron, iron, and stainless steel, because I completely avoid Teflon-coated cookware — it’s very harmful to health. Even the smallest scratch on that coating can cause chemicals to leach into the food, which is just terrible! That’s why, when I decided to buy a wok, I was looking for one made of pure metal without any coating. This wok turned out to be exactly what I wanted. It’s made of carbon steel, which was a new experience for me. I carefully read the product description and learned about how to take proper care of it — and now it’s my true friend in the kitchen! I seasoned it several times in a row, just like shown on their YouTube channel. After cooking, I let it cool down, then wash it with warm water (without any soap) to preserve the seasoning. I dry it on low heat or with a paper towel, and lightly oil it before storing. Sometimes, when I’m short on time, I skip the oiling part and just dry it well — it still works perfectly. No rust so far! I believe that if you follow the care instructions, this wok will stay in good shape for a long time. I definitely recommend it to anyone who cares about healthy cooking and doesn’t mind giving their cookware a little love and attention.

Waste of money. The flat bottom is tiny in diameter. Useless on my electric hob. The bottom warps so badly the first time I seasoned the wok, it really is useless. It sticks like mad. Don’t waste your money.

This wok is amazing. I cook curries nearly every week and I do it on the wok. Gets super hot and cooks the curries great. It has a good weight to it. Really good!

Love this wok! Heats up quickly. Been using this for a couple of weeks now and it is now more non-stick than any Teflon pan I've had in the past. Patina's coming along nicely 😎 Only thing I dislike is the weight - it's heavy (and the angle of the handle is slightly annoying)!

We have probably four pans that need to be seasoned and looked after. No soap washing and observing issues like cold water on a hot steel or iron pan so we are well used to dealing with pans that are non-stick. We also have three Le Crueset stainless steel sauce pans that we have had for over 15 years which as as good as they were when they were bought. You can though use soap and wire brushes to clean those pans and those 15+ years have proven that to us. Anyone that buys a Carbon Steel Wok like this needs to get the ease of living with a ceramic or more likely non-stick pan out of their heads right now. Is it hard work? No. It's just an adjustment in how you clean the pans after you use them. We have separate sponges that we use with this Wok and our other pans that we need to maintain the seasoning of. Sounds like too much hard work? Then walk away. BUT, if you choose to buy yourself a proper Carbon steel Wok and possess the minor amount of energy and effort to adjust to maintaining this pan, then you will be rewarded. We cook Curries in this Wok. We cook the best stir fries with this as it can deal with super hot temperatures that no non-stick pan is rated for. We've owned a ceramic Wok, which was awful. A cheap stainless steel Wok which was usable. But this thing is for proper cooks that value their tools and more importantly want their stir fries to be proper stir fries. Turn up the heat, use Ghee, Ground Not oil or even standard Vegetable oil (Rape seed) and take your stir fries to the next level up. Just learn to season and look after it and honestly it will be a go to pan for years to come. Money well spent

Very good to use if you know the skill. I think that is better than non stick pan. Remember always keep a layer of oil in the wok. It can be use for long time. Heat the wok before you put the oil in it.

After first, and second use the wok gets rusty hours after cleaning. The color doesn't even match the one in the picture.

ik voel me een top chef met deze top wok heel blij mee

Très bonne qualité. Bien suivre le mode d'emploi. Pas de nettoyage agressif, bien sûr. Le manche reste bien solidaire du wok, ce qui n'arrive pas toujours avec les bas prix. Je n'ai pas eu besoin de "reculotter" ce wk depuis que je l'ai (1 an ½) Je fais aussi mon fish and chips dedans, entre autres.

Die Pfanne hat meine Erwartungen wirklich übertroffen. Man sieht sofort, dass sie gut verarbeitet ist und eine hohe Qualität hat. Sie war sehr sorgfältig verpackt, ohne Beschädigungen. Ich benutze sie jetzt regelmäßig und bin wirklich sehr zufrieden damit. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

First and foremost you would notice that this is a high quality and very well-built wok that comes pre-seasoned. The wok is sensitive to heat and can be brought to smoking in less than 10 secs and works well both on induction as well as gas. The light weight is oe of the key advantage of this wok. It weights 1.35 kg and is light enough for wok tossing and has enough capacity to cook a decent size meal for 4 or 5. Highly recommended.
