Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Hard 12" Flat Bottom Wok Set
Customer Review: Built to last....a lifetime.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several other woks (carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel) but the hard-anodized aluminum wok from Calphalon has become my favorite.This wok is the equal to my el-cheapo carbon steel that cost a fraction of the price of the Calphalon. So why favor the Calphalon? Because unlike carbon steel or cast iron, the Calphalon will never have to be seasoned nor will rust ever be a concern. It should also be noted that aluminum is a better conductor of heat than the other metals mentioned. It will heat up VERY quickly. High heat is what you need to sear the ingredients and seal in those tasty juices.
Cleaning is a snap. Just let it soak and wash with a bit of dish detergent.
There is no mystery to cooking in a wok:
* Season and Pre heat with a little oil.
* add meats
* add vegi's
* add spices
* de glaze
* serve
From start to finish should take maybe 3-4 minutes.
I was fortunate to be able to get this wok on one of the Calphalon semi-annual sales at Amazon business partner Cooking.com in exchange for a piece of paper with picture of Ulysses S. Grant on it.
(Amazon does't like reviews to mention the cost of an item) <smile>
Description of Calphalon Commercial Hard 12" Flat Bottom Wok Set
Flat-bottomed for stability on the stovetop, the rugged 12-inch wok in this set is high, wide, and handsome. Its slopping sides expose a lot of cooking surface for fast stir-frying. Use the wok also for deep-frying and for simmering food in broth. The set's nylon scoop and skimmer stir, drain, and serve foods from the wok. The wok's resin lid goes on when it's important to keep food moist while it cooks. Though not nonstick, the wok is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. Contoured, textured, cast-stainless-steel handles resist heating and are multiriveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the wok cooks without hot spots or warping. The wok comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred BrackWoks & Stir-Fry Pans
