Users report that if left wet, rusting occurs quickly, emphasising the need for thorough drying and regular oiling. Conversely, those familiar with cast iron or carbon steel skillets find the maintenance straightforward and rewarding.
Its round-bottom design is authentic but does require a gas hob and a wok ring for safe, stable cooking. Some users note this might not suit electric or induction cookers. The bamboo handle is a standout feature, offering a comfortable, heat-resistant grip. Developed by Jeremy Pang, the wok embodies a genuine connection to Asian culinary traditions, making it a favourite among home cooks aspiring to elevate their stir-fry game.
