Ecolution Non-Stick Carbon Metal Wok with Delicate Contact Riveted Deal with, 12″,Black

Sturdy, well made, useful
I am thrilled. So many offerings and I really read a dozen or more and finally just said “I give up – I’ll take this one.” Good choice!! Heavy, very well constructed, so easy to clean. I was just going to use it for stir frying but like it so much I keep it on my stove and use it virtually every day. This morning I cooked grits in it, last night I steamed carrots. A standard lid from my cook set fits perfectly. I can fry, boil, steam- anything I want – with this handy small pan. Love it.

Watch the Heat
I ordered this little pan not for use as a wok, but for use as a small nonstick saucepan. It’s been very difficult to find an inexpensive, small nonstick saucepan for use on my GE induction range. Most nonstick saucepans are aluminum and will not work, which is a pity, because aluminum is the best cookware heat conductor outside of copper. This little wok was my attempt at solving this problem.I’ve been using it to heat canned soup, leftover chili and nacho cheese sauce. It has done a very good job at all of the tasks I’ve asked of it. Pretty much any small amount of liquid that needs either quick heating or a nonstick pan.As a wok, I’ve no idea how it works. Nonstick pans should never be heated on high heat. My uncoated steel wok goes from cold to 600ºF in about a minute on my induction range. PTFE-coated pans are unsafe above 500ºF. I don’t use nonstick pans on anything higher than medium heat, for both my health and the longevity of the pan.**UPDATE**I’ve had the pan for over 6 months now, using it several times a week, often several times a day. It works well, and is showing only minor scratches and a few chips in the Teflon on the rim of the pan. But again I warn against using much heat. For example, when heating queso dip, which is almost solid when cold, attention is needed. This is because the pan is so thin. Over medium heat, the cheese melts quickly, but you’ll want to stir it almost constantly to avoid scorching. I now only use it for thin liquids. I still give it 4 stars because it’s pretty good for it’s price point. But if you’re willing to spend a little more for a better pan, read on.If you want a nonstick saucepan (or frying pan, for that matter) that you can walk away from and know that thick sauces won’t scorch on medium heat, I highly recommend Anolon Nouvelle Copper Anodized, in either the 2-qt saucepan or 2.5-qt covered saucier. It is simply one of the best nonstick pans ever made, with an astonishing amount of aluminum (6.5mm) plus .5mm of copper. For comparison, All-Clad has 2.5mm of aluminum, and the Anolon costs less.

BEWARE…non stick layer peeled then rusted less than 2 months
It’s difficult to find a small wok so it was nice that found this, it looks good when I first got it. I tried to be careful when cleaning not to scratch it. Regardless of my effort, after usage of once every few days for less than 2 months, I saw a round rust spot. Disappointedly inspected the wok found few more nonstick layer bubbled, same day 3 big/small rusted spots appeared. It went straight to the trash!. For over 50 years bought countless number to pots/pans, never seen anything happened like this until now. DON’T waste your money!!!!

Didn’t last long
It’s a perfect little pan for one or two people. I was disappointed that the nonstick didn’t last.

This item is the perfect size for one/two portion size meal. I used it to steam fry my fresh garden beans. And I was more than satisfied. I highly recommend this “wok”!

My husband like it. So far so good.

This small wok is very compact and useful for many dishes. It is not for a big crowd though. I checked it with a magnet to see if it is suitable for induction cooking and yes, it is. It seems well made and has a nice surface. It arrived in good shape. I bought it for a Christmas gift to give to someone who wanted a small wok. I think they will really like it.
