Helen's Asian Kitchen Carbon Steel Mini Wok, 8-Inch, Flat Bottom Chinese Stir Fry Pan With Rubberwood Handle For Single-Serve Stir Fry, Fried Rice, Noodles, And Asian Cooking

I really love this wok, although I thought it was a bit small.But the more I used it I came to realize it's just right for quick foods. After you season the wok, it's non-stick good quality very easy to clean. It has a good weight without being heavy.

Thoroughly disappointed. This is not my first wok. I was excited because it seemed very high quality and the perfect size. Unfortunately they used either aluminum or some other subpar metal as the rivets because after I got this beautiful seasoning layer on the pan I found that the once secure bowl of the wok now rattles around like a tin can. It was so sturdy before the seasoning, which is the same method I do for all my woks without issue. Very disappointed that I wasted all this time on getting the perfect seasoning just for the rivets to loosen up on me and render the pan useless.

I just love this little wok. I have 6 woks with different handles and metals but this is now my favorite. Our standard range is not made for wok cooking. Other than the unsuitable burner temp, the height is too high to angle our arm and toss food around in a heavy 14 inch wok. I have an outdoor burner that I set low for that purpose. However, this wok is the perfect weight for me to toss food around even with my left hand while using my right to stir on my indoor range. Carbon steel hands down makes the best non-stick surface. I make all sorts of egg dishes in my other pans of the same material. Eggs are the stickiest food. I can’t wait until this pan has a well developed patina. It already has a nice 1st coat that I can make scrambled eggs on no problem. The size is perfect for a single serve lunch for 1, really for 2 but I eat a little too much protein with my rice. :) The handle is nice and sturdy. For the price it makes it a great deal.

After I did a 4 coat seasoning, it works great. I love this size, great for a quick small batch stir fry, cup of saute mushrooms, a quick egg omlete in the morning. Easy to keep clean & seasoned non-stick. I gave one to each of my grandkids for their college kitchens, I showed them how to keep seasoning it after every use. They said tit was a perfect size and great for so many thing. Now they understand that steel is way better than plastic coated cook wear.

I was looking for a small size wok for quite sometime and found this one. The weight is very light, nice deep bowl with a flat bottom for ceramic or electric cooktops. It does rust after using but I season it like my cast iron with oil after drying that the rust disappears. For the price it is an excellent piece of cookware.

Lovely petite Wok, but arrived with no handle! On with Customer Care now!

I got this 8” mini-wok for the two of us. Beautifully made carbon steel pan with a nice wooden handle. (BTW, if you don't like the “Helen Chen” on the handle, simply rotate the wooden handle so it appears on the bottom - out of sight.). The vast majority of woks come with a non-stick coating — kind of an oxymoron. Non-stick coatings are best used on low or medium heat, so I specifically picked this wok to develop non-stick “seasoning” that I can use over high heat. Yes, it’s a bit of work to season carbon steel pan with/ cast iron, but you get a pan that you can safely use over high heat and avoid detrimental chemicals that you can ingest from damaged “Teflon” coatings. P.S. The threaded eyelet screw seemed to be a little loose after seasoning the pan. So, I wound some plumbers’ tape around the threads to keep it snug.

I'm very disappointed by this. First of all, the instructions for how to season it assume I have a gas stove. (My building doesn't have gas.) It says to "Tilt wok over the burner to heat the sides," which doesn't work with a ceramic stove top. Then, the process of trying to season it left the bottom warped. (No, I didn't dip the hot wok in cold water.) On my ceramic stove, it will only get hot where it's in contact with the stove surface, so I need the bottom of my pan to be completely flat.

Got this today, seasoned as advised. Fantastic wok, I seasoned this over a ceramic stove top and it took some time but it was worth it. Made some crispy tofu and a fried egg. Didn’t stick to wok at all. Love it

Excelente producto, lo he usado únicamente para hacer huevo frito con arroz, la patina ya tiene buen grosor. Excelente artículo si sólo cocinas para 1-2 personas.

Love that size

It's a really good size for a single person to cook with. It's thin carbon steel so don't expect anything crazy. Minus stars for the poor riveting job. Mine's really loose.

Nice wok for small batch cooking. Once seasoned, holds up well.
