Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Flat Bottom WokCustomer Review: Fantastic Wok for Stir-Frying Summary: 5 Stars
This baby has become a staple in my kitchen. I do stir-frying a lot of the times and even though I have other Calphalon products that could also handle stir-frying, I find myself reaching for this wok time after time, almost on auto-pilot. Unlike one of the reviewers who experienced some frustrations with this wok on his electric stove, I find mine to work extremely well with my gas stove. With medium-high heat, this wok gets hot very fast and cooks up meat and veggies in no time. Cleaning the wok is almost as enjoyable as cooking with it.The only downside to this wok, as is the issue with any other Calphalon non-stick product, is that you are not supposed to clean the wok with water immediately after using it. Running water over the hot surface may warp the non-stick coating. Since I usually make more than one stir fried dish a time and always have the need to clean the wok so that I can move onto the next dish, I find this requirement somewhat annoying. I am going to buy another work-horse style wok (one that can be rinsed immediately after usage, no non-stick, can withstand abuses) to complement this one.
Description of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Flat Bottom WokCalphalon nonstick pans are kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This 12-inch flat-bottom wok, for example, is excellent for making great chicken, pork, or vegetable stir-fry, with a heavy-gauge aluminum exterior that assures even heating and a nonstick interior that makes low-, or no-fat cooking possible. Use a light hand on the heat dial though, to protect the nonstick surface from overheating, and use plastic, coated, or wood utensils to protect the finish. The curved handle is easy to grip and stays cool, thanks to a V-shaped split where it meets the pan. There's also a short looped utility handle on the opposite side of the pan for heavy lifting. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides the flexibility to put the pan in the oven--up to 450 degrees. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish, and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale Steinke
