Winco 14" S/S Wok, Welded Joint

This stainless steel wok has exceeded my expectations in every way. The welded handle provides a smooth interior surface, eliminating rivets that can trap food particles , making cleaning a breeze. Its stainless steel construction with a mirror finish not only looks professional but also ensures durability and even heat distribution. The 16-inch diameter is perfect for preparing large meals, and the sturdy handle offers a secure grip during cooking. Whether I’m stir-frying vegetables or searing meats, this wok delivers consistent results. I highly recommend this for both home cooks and professionals seeking a reliable, high-quality wok. I use it to make THE BEST fried rice!

Love this wok. Cooks how I hoped it would. Like all stainless steel it has to be hot before you cook on it ! I was worried about regular steel rusting since I wasn't going to be cooking on it every day . I have blown thru 3 Non-stick woks. The non stick coating keeps breaking down and falling off. You can throw this wok in the dishwasher if you like ( that doesn't remove the caramelized sugars from the inside) but it cleans it and the whole wok is safe, No wooden handles to damage! And to remove the caramelized stains, a little "Bar Keepers Friend" rub on before the dishwasher and done! 16w is a bit larger than I expected. At the top it is 16 1/2 inches across and stands almost 5 inches high so on one burner ( I have gas burners) it is almost to the other burners which is ok for me , but, a smaller stove might have a problem. The hollow handle stays warm to the touch but not excessively warm and seems very solid attached. A handle on the other side would have made this wok a little easier to handle but it is ok without it. Don't be dissuaded by the lack of an additional handle. It is a very nice wok. and does a great job !

One of the few stainless Woks i have been able to find. Perfect size for stir frying 1-2 person meals. Easy clean up with it being stainless. Thin so it performs as a wok should in responding to changes in temp instantly. It is a flat bottom wok, however barely so. a portion of the bottom is flat but it has a smooth curve from the small flat bottom up to the sides so there are no hard edges or corners. Be careful as with the handle it can easily become off balance because the flat part is quite small. A helper handle would have been nice and the handle it self gets warm/hot after a while. Recommend grabbing it with a towel. Overall a great product and far more durable than a non stick or carbon steel wok, and more authentic than the other stainless steel woks which are thick and retain heat in ways a wok shouldn't.

So, first if you are into stir frying this is not the wok for that. My kitchen is very small and we don't have a built in cook top or oven. Instead we use portable induction cook tops. (2 Breville and one round bottom Wok induction) As we do a lot of cooking in a wok we have one of the Brevilles and our Wok cook top stored in the kitchen. So the idea was to use this wok to cook pasta and stuff we need to boil. Unfortunately, I purchased one that was too large for my cooker but that is on me. I will order the smaller size and should be perfect. It looks great and if used correctly (for the right things) it is perfect! If you think this is going to be the same as a carbon steel wok you will be disappointed. Overall, really happy with this wok even though it is being returned for my mistake. Looking forward to getting the one size down!

The wok looks good. However, it won't stay on the stove properly. Only tiny one side edge is touching the stove and rest of the bottom part is on the air. Therefore, it won't conduct the heat. Returning it.

SIZE This is an excellent size wok. It might be a little too big. Depending on your portions you can easily cook for 6 maybe even 8. I cooked for 4 and there were enough left overs for 2 more. Stuff is much less likely to spill when you stir. This is the best part of this wok, but I am thinking of getting a 14 which might be a better size. QUALITY It is made from super thin metal and it did stain after the first use. It is very light weight, but it is kind of sharp at the edges because it is so thin. The handle is welded on very nicely. It looks like the handle will last for the life time of the pan. Not sure how long it will last, but I am planning on using it a lot during the summer for stir frys, I hope it lasts several years, but we shall see at the end of this summer. CLEANING It is very light weight, so it is easy to handle when washing. I would say it is on the easy side to clean, except that it is too big for my sink, so you have to be careful to avoid splashing water outside the sink HEAT DISTRIBUTION The heat distribution is poor. The material is too thin to be able to carry the heat up. The handle remains cool, but so does the upper half of the pan. You have to use a lid and because it does not come with the lid, you have to buy one separately. VALUE The poor heat distribution requires you use a lid, which when added to the total cost, makes the total purchase prize a poor value.

My wife and I both love the wok. It cleans up easily and it balances very stably on one burner on my traditional stove which i'm surprised at. I bought a 15 inch glass lid that fits just inside.The outer edge and they go awesomely together. It is a beautiful piece of cookwand it's a pleasure to see on the stove or elsewhere in my home. A little expensive but worth it.

this wok does not sit still on the stove. The handle will tip the wok if you dont hold onto it. Also food sticks to it like crazy and it does not retain very much heat. It looks nice but does not work as good as I thought it would. It is in a corner in my basement until I throw it out.

This wok is prone in rust if you do not clean properly..its not pure stainless steel..I do stainless steel test liquid and the result is 202 stainless which is high in carbon that can cause rusting ..not 304 or 316 that low in carbon composition

Es una herramienta perfecta para mi, la volvería a comprar más adelante para no solo tener 1

The wok is lite, and very easily managed. No rivets inside means very easy to clean. Yes it would dent if it falls, but it works as expected, easy to flip food while cooking, so a faiir trade off. Overall, very impressed with the WOK.

Good product
