Some owners find that after several uses, the non-stick surface begins to flake, which not only affects performance but also raises concerns about coating particles in food. This issue contrasts with older Ken Hom wok models praised for lasting years without degradation. Despite this, the wok’s lightweight design, flat base, and balanced wooden handle with a hanging loop are widely appreciated for ease of use and kitchen storage.
