## Description

London Wok GJ496 Round Bottom Wok, 14" : desertcart.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

Review: A substantial and decent quality wok season with love... - I have grown to love this...nobody else but me is allowed to touch it! It has been lovingly seasoned and is now blackened and extremely non stick. I can even fry egg for fried rice and it will not stick. When I am done a quick wipe out with a damp cloth, then I just pop it back on the hot ring to make sure its properly dry or it will rust. I have made some amazing dishes in this, its large, it sits neatly on my giant gas ring and I can toss it as not so heavy but heavy enough. Has a quality feel and now its seasoned cooking with it is a cinch. I am glad I bought this rather than one of the non stick ones, its more authentic and I do worry about teflon at very high temperatures.
Review: Excellent - As long as you take care of this carbon steel wok properly it should pose no issues, the curvature is just perfect and so is the size, the quality is also excellent. The handle is made of real wood and will never splinter by the look and feel of it if you dont abuse it. The patina on my wok has built well and somehow better than the other wok i have (of another make). Its a relatively heavy wok so tossing it is a bit tough but for its size its not deathly heavy. The riveting is also great, i doubt it would pose issues but if it does ill write it here and update the review

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it fit on a rangemaster gas cooker?**
A: Yes I have a Rangemaster and it fits BUT I do have a Rangemaster wok ring.

**Q: I not that it is round base do I need a wok stand to support it?**
A: It comes in two forms flat or round based and two sizes.

**Q: what size flat bottom wok to use for two people**
A: 14 inches is fine, I have several woks from cast iron to carbon steel. Mainly two sizes, 14" and 16", depending on what I am cooking and the size of the meal determines the size I use. However, I prefer a deep 14" round base carbon steel wok as I find that the most versatile and user friendly. But if using a carbon steel wok, make sure it is well seasoned to be non stick. If new, wash well first to remove the waxed coating, then heat on a strong hot flame until the entire wok is blue. Then heat again until it hot or starts to steam a little, pour a small amount of cooking oil into the wok and while still hot...roll up some kitchen roll into a ball and using some tongues soak up the oil and wipe evenly around the wok. Heat till it steams and repeat, job done! You now have professionally treated wok that is none stick and a pleasure to use. After cooking, immediately wash wok out with warm water, dry with kitchen roll, and wipe round with a little coating of cooking oil using kitchen roll and put it away till next time. NEVER USE DETERGENT! Do the same with a flat bottom wok, back to your question, I would say 14" would fine! I hope this helps...

**Q: is the handle removable? It says that the wok needs seasoning**
A: Hi, Wok handle cannot be removed. Yes, the wok needs to be seasoned.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Faulty and conflicting directions.
*by P***S on 10 August 2015*

I bought this wok as it looked like a good product. However! the manufacturer instructions (London Wok, Com) as to the method and process for seasoning your wok prior to use were absolutely ineffectual as it only worked on a 5" diameter on the base.Due to this mess l went on line to London Wok .Com web site, and to my surprise found their seasoning process was totally different to that which were enclosed with the wok.As the wok was mildly seasoned l believed according to London wok,reprocessing was normal practice, l followed step by step the on line (London Wok, Com).~~~~~Disaster!! l now own a burned sticky mess? not the well seasoned cooking wok l hoped for. l don,t believe l can return this wok as l will be held responsible.
