## Description

School of Wok - 14"/36cm Carbon Steel Wok, Flat Bottom, Bamboo Handle : desertcart.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

Review: Great solid wok - Having used a range of non-stick and pseudo woks, I finally came to the conclusion that I needed the real thing after trying a friend's professional-class wok. This wok fits the bill nicely, with the one concession being a small flat bottom: big enough to use over your gas wok ring, although I expect it won't be so good for electric (those of you looking for something that will work over those glassy glass or ceramic easy-clean sufaces, give up and get a gas hob, as you cannot seriously cook with a wok without a true flame). Good solid traditional construction, this wok seasons easily over a good flame and has the right composition and wall thickness to get heat right to the food quickly. Heat distribution is very good and food seals and cooks rapidly. UPDATE 2024: The wok is still going strong! Apart from some scorching to the bamboo on the D-handle, this wok keeps getting better. However, most of the negative reviews for this wok are revealing rookie mistakes in failing to either prep the wok correctly, failing to season properly, failing to follow care instructions or having unrealistic expectations (especially re. use on anything other than a gas wok burner). If you purchase a real wok like this, you have to accept that this is a traditional tool and not a modern non-stick convenience pan. The advantages over modern pans - higher heat transfer leading to a more authentic high temperature cook - outweigh the inconvenience for me, but you may think differently. I would therefore not recommend this for anyone looking for a zero-maintenance option that'll work on induction or electric rings. But for those of you prepared to put some work in to get great cooking results, here's some tips: 1. Follow the wok preparation instructions to the letter. Take time to ensure that the (bees)wax coating is fully removed and the steel has blued correctly. 2. Follow the seasoning instructions to the letter. If you're not familiar with seasoning pans - a skill that has all but been lost since the inception of non-stick coatings - it takes some time to get the hang of it. So practice! What you're looking for is an almost solid, but very thin, "gel" coat on your pan. Once you get the hang of this, you'll be rewarded with a higher temperature cook than you can ever achieve with non-stick coatings, which insulate from the heat. Plus you'll acquire a skill you can transfer to your stainless steel and even cast iron pans that will take your cooking to the next level, as well as keeping all those nasty non-stick chemicals out of your body. 3. Follow the care instructions to the letter. Woks should be washed, dried and seasoned as soon as possible after cooking. If you don't, you may find rust spots forming (remember, this is NOT stainless steel, as some reviewers have misunderstood). If you have rust spots, well then you need to put some work in to remove these (a good scourer with something like Pink Stuff will make short work of this). Then season - twice if needs be (I usually do two passes) and make sure you haven't burnt-off the seasoning. Do this and you'll be fine. As for reviews citing poor handles, clearly if it breaks, you may have a faulty one so return it. Mine are solid still, with only occasional tightening of the main handle needed (the steel hanging eyelet is actually the end of a screw-fitting for the handle, so just requires tightening occasionally by turning clockwise).
Review: Once you buy a real wok, like this one, you will never buy another! - I purchased this Wok after noticing that my non-stick wok was losing its teflon coating bit by bit, which horrified me, luckily when I only washed it and not during cooking, so I took great pleasure in binning it and getting a real one. This one to be exact. When it arrived, it was a thing of beauty, but like all woks, it you want it to work properly, you have to seal it. So from a beautiful shiny metal colour, it has to go almost black on the inside and it colours from the heat on the outside. But, don't let that put you off in getting a real wok like this one. It's light, so easy to clean and it far more non-stick that my teflon coated non-stick wok ever was from a previous life. I have had it for a good while now and it cooks so well, and so long as you keep it lightly oiled, it will last forever, I reckon. All in all it is one of the best kitchen implements I own. Can't recommend it enough!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good wok
*by A***R on 6 April 2026*

Decent wok, seasoned easily enough. Slightly flimsy handle though. Can see this lasting a long time as long as handle holds. Nice to get real wok hei as a home cook. Picture is post seasoning
