MasterClass Large Wok

I brought this specifically because of the dimensions as it means it sits perfectly on the wok cradle that came with my Range cooker. It weighs an absolute tonne so its not easy to use one handed but on the other hand this means its really solid and well made. My food cooks perfectly and its incredibly easy to clean. It said you can use metal utensils which I was very wary of but it's not made a single mark.

Absolute perfection. No other way to say it. Big, heavy, steel wok that cooks wonderful meals. It gets hot and holds heat as it cooks. I use metal spoons and it behaves as a nonstick pan. It has a second handle to help with lifting. Great for deep frying.

I have never submitted a review but feel that this wok really deserves one. The build quality is fantastic and it is proper non stick, you can really use less oil. It washes very well in the dishwasher and I don't think it will degrade that much in doing this, which can be a problem for other items.The size is perfect and I only when for the medium 12" which is perfect for 2/3 people.This feels like a much more expensive item ! The heat is very even across the wok (watch the bubbles lol).Just with any wok remember that the because the wok is thin you need to use less heat so never set it to max on your hob 3/4 is more than enough and please don't let it sit too long without oil in it or your could damage it at extreme heat. If you are unsure on this then take the chance you will be delighted ! just read through the reviews. Due the quality of this wok I have started buying other master class products (i.e baking tray) and they all seem like professional quality products at fair prices.

Heavy, quality materials and good construction quality, heat is distributed evenly and there's no "cold spots" at the base of the pan, which results in an even stir frying of both veggies and meat products alike. Cools down quite quickly and even when using a hard pair of chopsticks the coating doesn't to scratch, clean-up is quite easy, the rounded shape and the non-stick coating help a lot and it just needs a light scrub after being used. Handle gets warm after about 15 minutes of constant heating and usage. I also recommend following the instructions properly and coating the inside with a thin coat of vegetable or sunflower oil to prolong the wok's life.

I have tried many woks, including some from Amazon. They all start out great but over time things go wrong - non-stick coating comes off or just stops being non-stick being the main issues. So before going for a wok that requires seasoning I decided to give this one a try, and also wait before writing a review. So having used it quite frequently for six weeks, it is still the same as when it first arrived. Non stick still in place, all working fine. Heats up very quickly, although I am using a 3.3kw wok burner ... but still, much quicker than a standard frying pan. Meat flash-fries almost instantly, everything else perfect too. The wok itself is very sturdily built, and therefore a bit on the heavy side. Also as the handle is metal, I have found if I don't have the wok centred on the burner the handle can heat up, but that's easily solved by having the wok in the correct place on the gas hob It does say dishwasher safe, but I wash it with warm/hot water only and pad dry with a towel. Hoping it stays like this for many stir-fries to come. >> UPDATE << It's been TWO YEARS and the wok is in the same condition I bought it in, completely non-stick. It has been used (and possibly abused) on a weekly basis, including cooking Vietnamese Caramel Ginger Chicken, a dish that had rendered one of my previous woks useless. Furthermore I now use it on a proper 7kw wok burner. So I would normally say "I would buy this again" ... except I won't need to. Cannot recommend this highly enough. >> UPDATE 2 (Jan 2017) << It's still with me, still as good as new. I cooked some Vietnamese orange chicken with lemongrass and posted some pictures.

I cook a lot of oriental good and thus have used many woks before including the traditional carbon steel, cast iron ones, or the more modern teflon versions; some were quite expensive. This Master Class wok is the best one I have come across. The non-stick surface works better than other common coated versions; it is amazingly truly non-stick even when the food was slightly burnt. Initially I read review about it being heavy. I didn't mind it so much as a good wok normally weighs a bit. Now holding it in the hand, it is not as heavy as I thought - lighter than my 28cm stainless steel sauté pan. Another pleasant surprise is that it is actually quite thin, meaning that it gets heated up very quickly (and a good wok should do). Some other heavy duty woks I tried usually took a long time to heat up but this one functions more or less like a authentic oriental wok. The product description states that it is OK to use metal utensil on the surface, which is quite a nice surprise. I haven't quite challenged it with a metal turner yet but the surface does look stronger as it doesn't seem to be a mere layer of coating. Whatever material or process they used in making this wok seems to have achieved very good results. So far happy, hope it withstands the test of time. Am not considering buying the 24cm version as well.

Ottima davvero, i cibi si cuociono velocemente senza attaccarsi. Materiale super resistente e facile da lavare. Un po’ pesante ma per il tipo di pentola è normale.

Normal schreibe ich wenn überhaupt nur negative Bewertungen. Da ich aber mit diesem Wok sooo zufrieden bin muss ich es doch mal teilen. Beschichtung ist einfach klasse, sodass die Reinigung extrem einfach ist. Etwas Wasser und fertig. An dem Wok bleibt einfach nichts angebranntes zurück! Durch das dünne Material ( was einige hier unverständlicherweise als qualitatives Manko darstellen ) wird der Wok blitzschnell heiß und reagiert sofort auf Temperaturänderung. Bei meinem Induktionsherd dauert es keine 10 Sekunden und das Fleisch brutzelt! Die Hitze wird zum oberen Rand natürlich weniger. Dadurch bleibt der Griff und der Henkel, obwohl beides aus Metall, kalt. Aber verformen tut sich hier nichts! Schon recht keine Beulen. Nutze den Wok nun 2 Monate nahezu täglich und bin sehr zufrieden. Ein echter Wok, den ich in der Form lange gesucht habe. Dadurch das nichts an dem Ding kleben bleibt sieht es noch aus wie neu ... Da ich jedoch die Größe unterschätzt habe, werde ich mir noch die mittlere oder die kleine Variante holen. Denn obwohl der Wok für diese Größe recht leicht ist, würde mir oftmals eine kleinere Variante langen. Hier solltet ihr cleverer sein als ich und euch vorher gedanken machen :-) So genug jetzt. TOP Teil.

Bad quality product. Just after a couple of months little holes, that have been growing bigger over the time, started to appear inside the pan. Just a waste in every sense.

Hace tiempo tuve otro wok que resultó un fiasco, por más que seguí los consejos del fabricante, entre usos se cubrñia de una capa de óxido. Este alcanza alta temperatura muy rápido por lo que es fantástico para salteados y es muy fácil de limpiar. En un principio había pedido el tamaño inferior pero es demasiado pequeño, pedí cambiarlo por este y no tuve ningún problema. A los dos días de haberme recogido el anterior ya tenía este.

I love this wok. It’s nonstick and keeps the heat so well. So glad I bought it. It makes stir fry so much easier as it larger than normal woks. I have had it for more than 5 years and it’s still going strong. Highly recommended.
