Round Bottom Wok Set

There is no better Wok on the market than the Mammafong Large Flat Bottom 16-inch Traditional Carbon Steel Wok Pan (Authentic Hand Hammered). This was a gift for my last birthday and we researched Woks for a long time. I have the 16", which is maybe a little big for two/three people, but not by much. Furthermore, we love making a lot of food for leftovers, and when the whole family and guests are here, it is beyond perfect. What is really great is learning about wok cooking, and learning how important a good Carbon Steel wok is and why carbon steel is the best material for a wok. Mammafong includes good information enclosed with the WOK, in addition to the Mammafong web site. Also with the wok, of course, you get a few recipes and cooking tips, like how and when to make your scrambled egg for stir fry, and when to toss in your "aromatics" like garlic and shallots . It is interesting to learn there are a host of reasons that novice--and experienced -- stir fryers will always do well with this carbon steel wok in the kitchen. The wooden handle, for example, is essential and it really allows you to get the hang of stir fry cooking, making you even better as you learn how to maneuver your Wok. And, last but not least, with stir fry cooking, it is also important to learn how to take good care of your wok after each use, (which you also get from Mammafong information). All said, it is absolutely worth the effort and time to learn how to cook with AND take care of this beautiful piece of cookware. You will have it forever, and, guaranteed, you will become an outstanding Stir Fry chef, which is so incredibly fun. Enjoy!

Seems well made and heavy duty as home woks go. Pre-seasoning is so-so but getting better after multiple uses and proper care.

This is a great unit. It's inportant to clean , towel dry, then after, then heat up removing any microscopic water, then lightly oil afterwards.

Mammafong pre-seasoned wok is well worth it to have the initial seasoning done in the factory, as it has a wooden handle which shouldn't go into the oven. That being said, yes - with the first few times of use, the pre-seasoning will wear off and it will need to be re-seasoned with each use at home, but it's not hard to do and the more it's used, the better the non-stick quality it will be. I LOVE learning to stir fry and the carbon steel wok is the very best way to go. I've had it about a month and have already used it 12 or 15 times. It's a very fast, easy and healthy way to cook. As a diabetic, I am seeing good results in lowering my blood glucose to normal levels. Watching youtube videos have helped me learn how to use and care for carbon steel pans. There are also some great online videos by experts to learn how to do easy and very good stir fry just as good as take out, but a lot cheaper at home. I absolutely LOVE my Mammafong carbon steel wok!!

I’ve used it every night since I got this! It’s fabulous, nothing sticks, cooks perfectly. It is heavy! So just beware it a 2 hand for me when lifting with good food

I love making stir Fry at home. I do not have a commercial grade gas range, but I have been making do with an old Teflon coated wok (which I need to get rid of, hence why I bought this one) and a few cast iron and stainless steel pans. Thought I would upgrade to an actual wok. I'm not a professional chef, but I cook every night, and feel like I've learned a few things over the years between trying things at home and working in restaurants. So I'm not a complete hack in the kitchen by any stretch. The description explicitly states that you can use metal utensils on this. I mostly used a bamboo wooden spoon, but did use a metal spoon as well. I thought it stir fried our food okay (not great, but ok) but the cleanup was an absolute bear. And as you can see from the picture, there are scratches all over it and it rusted overnight! I spent a few minutes with a scouring pad, and the rest will not come off! I tried to reseason it with some avocado oil, and as you can see from the paper towel, there's still a lot of rust coming off! Seriously only used once... Disappointed to say the least. Now we'll see about their return policy...

Ok, my fault for trying to cheat and buy a pre-seasoned wok in the first place; I just haven't had a lot of success with seasoning woks (ends up patchy and ugly) so this is the 3rd one I’ve bought. And it’s WAY more work than just seasoning an unseasoned wok because the pre-seasoning comes right off like cheap nail polish. I only use wooden utensils and you can tell from my pictures the pre-seasoning just curls right up, taking the seasoning that I added on top of their’s off with it. You know it’s their pre-seasoning that’s faulty because once the seasoning has flaked off you can see the bare steel underneath. Also, the picture of the wok where there’s a strip of steel exposed, I rubbed that off with just my finger pad. So now, I will have to scrub and scrap off their pre-seasoning and start over. This wok should be removed from their product line; it it misleading and clearly has not been tested by the manufacturers. After 1 hour trying to season this thing and re-season over the flaked areas, the handle, like other reviewers noted, got loose. Pre-seasoning aside, the wok seems to be pretty standard; you don’t need a fancy high-tech wok so I’ll will be trying to recover this one. I did liked the pow wok handle style and that the wok base measures 4.5 inches, most flat bottom woks seem to be 5.5 inches; the smaller diameter makes it seem more like a round bottom wok *shrug*. So if you want a wok, try a more tried and true, time tested brand.

Great wok. Heats up quick

Excelente calidad y precio. La cocina en wok es muy versátil y permite combinar diferentes tipos de alimentos controlando su cocción El sartén está muy sólido con buen peso y un mango de madera muy adecuado para manipularlo con facilidad envío a tiempo y con buen embalaje

I've finally splurged and bought this huge 16-inch wok after eyeing it for some time! It is excellent for deep frying or preparing stir-fried dishes.(I have a large family) An important note for people who are using this traditional steel or any type of cast iron product. It needs to be maintained properly. Do NOT soak it too long. Do NOT use the dishwasher. Wash it by hand, dry it and promptly 'season' it before storing it for another use and hopefully it will not develop rust. Read up on maintaining cast iron pots and pans; the same technique will apply to this wok.

Liked the quality and pre seasoned, good size Delivery time excellent

Very nice traditional Chinese wok. Heavy gauge steel and nicely seasoned out of the box. Perfect shape for fast stir frying and cleans up easily. Highly recommended. Great value in a wok!
