Seasoning instructions obeyed to the letter caused uneven black with ridges. Smoked so badly I had to throw it into the garden. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a wok . . . and a good one *by on Reviewed in the United States 20 April 2025* Bought this one after several decades of using a thrift shop, second-hand round bottom wok . . . on an electric stove. Who knew this didn't work? It actually produced good dinners for us, but when I read more on using a wok, I realized that a flat bottom, carbon-steel wok would likely work better for most uses. So, I ordered this one. I followed instructions for cleaning (stainless steel scouring pad and dishwashing soap) and seasoning (stir fry scallions and ginger in peanut oil for 15 minutes, allow to cool, then wash with water -- no soap! -- and warm on stovetop to dry; and then just used as normal for cooking) and it works great. Initial seasoning went fine, and it continues to season up just like the old one did. No big deal, so long as you follow the basic procedure, which starts with a good wash and scour (which is never repeated unless you want to begin the process all over again). And don't treat this like your non-stick aluminum fancy cookware. Respect it like a good iron pan, and it'll treat you well. Toss it in the dishwasher and you'll have earned your punishment. (Please. Just. Don't.) I'm quite happy with this one. Love the wood handles. Cooked a great Kung Pao chicken tonight on it. The flat bottom does help with getting a higher temperature from a flat-top electric stove. Treat it nice and it'll treat you nice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, well-built wok *by on Reviewed in Singapore 9 October 2020* I like the wok, built is pretty good, a bit heavy for me but I'm a petite woman. Haha. Seasoned it 3 times according to the instructions included. 4th time I stir fried some ginger, scallions and celery leaves (you may use other veggies) - i saw this step in some of the YT videos I watched about seasoning a wok. Used once since I got it, all good! I only wash with hot water and put a bit of oil to protect the surface. ## Frequently Bought Together - JOYCE CHEN Classic Series 14-Inch Carbon Steel Wok with Birch Handles - Joyce Chen 31-0066, 13.5-Inch Nonstick Steel Dome Lid for 14-Inch Wok Black - Joyce Chen 2-Tier Bamboo Steamer Baskets, 10-Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/51244511-joyce-chen-classic-series-14-inch-carbon-steel-wok-birch](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/51244511-joyce-chen-classic-series-14-inch-carbon-steel-wok-birch) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
