Ken Hom Carbon Steel Wok, 32cm, Excellence, Induction Hobs Suitable/Natural Patina Non-Stick/Beech Handle/Metal Tool Safe, Includes 1 x Chinese Wok Pan, KH432003

Excellent wok. Great functionality, big and sturdy, seasoned well before use great for cooking.

I thought this was a good wok but I haven't even used it to cook. I have used it to mix a large amount of pasta and sauce. Like a large mixing bowl.After only 4 uses it has rusted from being washed each time after use. I didn't not leave it to dry while wet, I dried it off directly after every wash and yet it has still rusted. Terrible waste of money

nice wok, easy to season, present for my daughter

This is a really nicely made carbon steel wok, it's pretty thick heavy metal, the wooden handle is solid and comfortable and attaches well and overall the pan feels like it'll last a long time. Its not a non-stick pan so do be aware of that, you will need to season this under heat with a little oil to develop a non stick layer as with cast iron. The flat bottom works well on induction, the pan will work better on a flame but that's just an inevitable feature of wok. This is my first uncoated carbon steel pan and I love it, it gets hot in seconds and is super responsive to changing the temperature; if you enjoy cast iron pans then the basic idea is very similar but it has an entirely different set of properties that make it far more appropriate for some tasks. It excels at sotr frying and deep frying techniques but is not ideal for anything involving liquid, acid or a long cooking time. It's part of Ken Homs brand but this dosent seem to reflect an issue with quality and the pan is far more solid than anything Ive picked up in an Asian store. As with cast iron this sort of pan will last years so the investment is well worth it.

Performs well. Good value

Bought as Christmas present. Daughter is really pleased with it and says it is far better than her old one. It is a reasonable weight which makes it very stable

Followed the preparation instructions before use. Cooked a stir fry, the inside ‘blued’ washed and dried it then it proceeded to rust. Gave it to my son to make metal artwork. Bought another make subsequently.Very disappointed.

This must be the worst pan I’ve ever used. I wish I can return it after I used it once and will explore this. I also wished I trusted the few negative reviews here. I read a lot and decided to give it a go due to its brand. I followed the instructions to the dot and started cooking a simple dish. Not only it stuck but it discoloured so badly and now after I washed it it still smells like a swamp. I now decided to leave it soaking in water only but I don’t keep hope I’ll be able to cook in it again. I am going back to the trusted normal stainless steel which never turns this nasty colour. This should be banned from selling or whatever coating they used must be banned as it is not safe and if the seller says I hadn’t removed the coating before first use- it cannot be removed. I spent over 30 min scrubbing as I could see something still not right. I used it twice and I’m never using it again as I believe the material is not safe to use.
