Calphalon 1948257 Signature Hard Anodized Nonstick Covered Flat Bottom Wok, 12", Black

I generally use calphalon nonstick cookwares, this is my first time with a stainless steel wok and i love it. I did read some of the complaints that some buyers had experienced, I am yet to experience any of that. I heat the pan well before adding any kind of food or oil that way nothing ever sticks. I also wash the pan twice after use, first with general dishwashing detergent and second with calphalon dormónd cleaner. That way my wok doesnt have any discoloration at all. Its a very good product and I highly recommend it.

I've never owned a wok before. Did my research (as always) and decided on this bad boy. Freakin' amazing!Pros:- great heat distribution- comes with a lid (that should be standard -- well done)- very easy to clean- handle on opposite side- just a pleasure to use- turned me into a freakin' chef!- it was so amazing, I ordered a second one for my girlfriendCons:- smaller handle can get very hot - just be careful- a little on the heavy side, but I actually prefer this -- solid build quality -- but some may want a lighter wok- why is the price the same in USD on the dot com Amazon site as the CAD price? Lol. Suckers

We love this pan/wok. We use it several times a week for everything from more robust sauces to vegetables. In a pinch I used it to make eggs which is NOT what it is made for but worked out well enough.What do you want out of a non-stick pan?1) Good even cooking. This pan cooks really well and the surfaces heat up uniformly as expected. This assumes a uniform heat from below of course. We use gas flames and a double ring burner and it works perfectly.2) Durability. I will admit I am not the most careful when putting away my pots and pans. I often end up with one sitting inside another. This pan has suffered that fate regularly and has not scratched or dinged.3) Surface Adherence. They say you can use metal utensils with this. I try and avoid using metal but I have used a spoon or fork on occasion to move or taste things, and there has been contact with the surface. There was no visible impacts to the pan at all.4) Ease of cleaning. The inside is as easy to clean as any pan or pot I have ever owned, wipes out very simply and cleans well. I've tried it in the dishwasher once (it is a bit big and just takes up too much space in the machine to do it often) and it cleaned to like new. The outside is a bit harder to clean due to the surface texture but it will clean with a little extra elbow grease. I also found using white vinegar or a little lemi-shine mixed with water works well. Careful of the lemi-shine as it is a bit abrasive.Caution, the handle can get HOT if over another flame or near another working pot or pan. Handle it carefully and keep it out from over flame.I haven't used this in the oven yet so can't comment.

So far so good !
