JOYCE CHEN Classic Series 14-Inch Carbon Steel Nonstick Wok Set with Lid and Birch Handles, 4 Pieces

After a few uses I used the wrong spatula use only plastic or wood it scratches easy and once scratched it's hard to cook on without things sticking but I love it make pancit in it all the time

Bought this wok because it was a highly recommended one (I think by NYT). Used it three times and started noticing the non-stick coating was peeling and ending up in my food. Reached out to them for a return and it took six months for them to reply stating I should reach out to another party that only honors a 30 day return policy. Ended up throwing it away. Pass. Will avoid buying from this brand again.

Got ours a couple days ago and have been making various stir fries the past few days. Key to this and any of these woks is to season correctly but keep in mind this does have teflon so turning colors won't happen as the pan is dark on the inside. We followed another reviewers seasoning method but added a couple of extra steps that were recommended by a few pro wok chefs online. *Besides the cleaning (with copper scrubbing - not too vigorously) and we used a couple pieces of fatty bacon (from our local butcher) and some ginger and green onions to help season the pan. We did the seasoning part three times to ensure the entire wok was seasoned correctly. 1. Remove wok from box and attach handle. 2. Fill about 3/4 of the wok with water and boil (this will help get that sticky oil off). 3. After boiling for a few minutes take off the burner. 4. Wash with a copper or steel scrubber and a little soap! (wash the entire wok , I mean top/bottom all over to scrub the oil away (this will be the last time you use a scrubber or even soap to wash the wok) (There is a factory lacquer oil on the wok, you can't see it but you'll definitely smell it, you must get as much of that oil off before starting the seasoning process). 5. Dry (it's okay if you leave a little water since you will put it right back to the burner). 6. Get the wok back on the burner on medium heat, you will notice the bottom of the pan will start developing a golden color, then almost blue, then darker... 7. After the bottom has some color turn the wok to the side to get the side some heat, repeat this until most of the wok is dark goldish brown/blue, it's perfectly fine if it's not dark all around and is blotchy. 8. Remain on medium heat and even the wok back flat on the burner, now get some oil in there, something that has a high smoke point, lard, canola, veggie oil.....and rub the oil with a paper towel all around the wok, let the wok sit on the medium heat burner for about 5-10 minutes, add more oil if too dry, it might get super smokey so get your windows open and fan running. 9. Now, you should have a seasoned wok! 10. Feel free to throw some bacon in the pan to season even more, I did that but did not eat the bacon, just tossed it out.

The add for the Nonstick Wok included a package with metal wok utensils, but when the wok arrives, it says you can't use metal utensils with it. I returned them. You should remove the promo for a nonstick wok with metal utensils! The wok already has nonstick covering chipping off the bottom, after less than a week's light use. Otherwise, I fried incredibly good eggs, and made beef stew with it. Aside from the problems so far, I love it. Since I wrote this review, I've only used the wok a few times, and yet, now the "nonstick" cover is coming off inside the bottom of the wok! I have a 30 yo, not very hot electric stove, don't use metal utensils, wash according to directions. There's no reason for the nonstick covering to peel. I wouldn't recommend buying this unit. The cooking has been good, but because it's a wok, not because it's well-made, and I will continue to develop my wok skills , but it sure won't be this one. If I can return it for a refund, I will. If not, caveat emptor.

My husband does most of the cooking. When I asked him to take care of this or let me know what he thinks so that I could do it, the title is what he gave me...haha. It is in great shape and we've used it 2 or 3 times so far. Seems to be a great product to me!

I'm used to using All Clad and other heavier pots and pans so I was skeptical of this lightweight wok. After using it, though, I'm very happy with its performance. Non-stick is the only way to go for stir frying and this wok is getting used by me every week. Great value for the price.

I doing a lot of cooking using the wok. About 8-12 times per day. The first week of using it, everything is perfect. Stir fry my veggie and put it hand wash. Notice the spot. At first I think it was a stain after washing it. I notice it chipping off. Joyce Chen is a brand I been using for long long time. Very disappointing. At the end I notice this product is made in Taiwan and not Made in China. Taiwan can’t make good woks base on my pass experience. Need to sticks with China that been doing this for thousands of year lol

Non-Stick version says to not season the pot, which i thought about doing at first. Wok was also oiled before use to just make sure since i didn't have to "season" a non-stick wok. 1 Gen-Tso meal made it through just fine. The second Gen-Tso meal (weeks later) showed different results. Pan is ruined now. I highly recommend oiling pan regardless of non-stick label. It really was a great pan. Very large as advertised, but fun to work with while it lasted.

Nice size, but the coating comes off almost immediately. Used carefully, with wooden instruments, and cleaned carefully, but disappointed to see the silver shine through after the first few uses.

Good size, excellent, consistent heating throughout the wok.

El fabricante no protege bien el wok ni la tapa de los accesorios del mango de madera con metal. Estos están sueltos moviéndose de lado a lado dentro de la caja todo el tiempo arañando y rasgado la pintura y el metal del wok y la tapa. La palita es de baja calidad, El recetario deja mucho que desear, son hojas impresas en papel de bond amarillo nada que ver con las fotos de stock. Se me envio el paquete internacional desde Texas a México CDMX. Amazon lo envío sin protección, ni un buen embalaje que lo protegiera. Sólo pego la guía de envío encima de la caja del producto y lo mandaron. El producto llegó dañado y realice la devolución. Tengan esto en mente antes de comprarlo con envío internacional.

This was a gift for my partner. After she used it a few times, the coating started to come off. She also only used the bamboo spatula it came with, but it seems the coating is very cheap and will always come off when heated eventually. Avoid as the coating is toxic!!

Very happy with my purchase of the Joyce Chen Wok Set! I made a Marion’s Kitchen Thai Red Curry and it was beautiful to cook in - the wok helped to bring out the flavours while cooking in a delicious sauce. I highly recommend!
