Circulon 2 14-Inch Covered Wok
Got the wok today and will post more reviews later. But the wok looks smaller and flat than a regular wok, but is solid and cover is very important for my kind of cooking, where we use very less oil. Lets see. See you all soon.

I gave all of it as a wedding gift to our daughter. She is waiting to move into her home and does not want to use it until then. But, a couple of her friend who have worked in the food industry used this brand and told her that the products are very good to cook in, well known and respected. They told her to use only wooden or telfon utensils with it.

I bought this wok as a replacement for an identical Circulon wok that is at least 5-7 years old. The lid, handles and wok were still in great shape, but the wok was no longer non-stick. The coating did not peel; I suspect very high heat/oil over the years was the reason the pan would not release the food any longer. I used this wok almost daily (yes, I am Asian).
What makes this wok functional is the two handles, which makes plating the stir-fry a breeze; I also love that it is 14 inches in diameter. The large diameter lessens splattering on the stove top, and if you have a family of 4, this 14 inch diameter is what you need to really keep the food uncrowded as you stir-fry. Food particles that are too close together in a smaller pan will steam instead of fry. So stay away from those 10″ or 12″ woks that you see in the store – you’ll get much better results from a large wok. Purists will say that the oil has to get hotter than a non-stick pan can safely be used w/o damage; this is probably true, but I don’t like to clean and oil a non-stick wok. This pan is an excellent compromise of function and convenience.
The size of this wok makes it also good for spaghetti sauce, chili, cioppino, risotto, and soups. I highly recommend this pan.

Owning this wok has changed my eating habits. I now enjoy a much healthier diet and it’s fun to use. I’ve tried a few different woks and this one stands out. Its great heat dissipation cooks fast and evenly and although Circulon’s ribbed, non-stick surface is not found on traditional woks, it works as well here as on their skillets and pots. A perfect marriage of new technology and old!

This never goes into the cabinet.
It is so darn cute that it just lives on top of the stove.
And I use it nearly every day.
A spray of Pam helps, but it is very non-stick.
I can’t imagine not having one…
It is great for scrambling one egg or large amounts of pasta and sauce.
BUY ONE.
