I was excited to receive my wok, but did not anticipate how large it is. It is too large for me to utilize for a family of two, and it better fitted for a large family or a restaurant.

1. My wok arrived wrapped in a flat piece of cardboard that left the handles exposed. The wok received a dent, 1" by 4" by 1/4" in the very bottom during shipping -not bad enough for a return. 2. The wok is covered in what I imagine is machine oil to keep it from rusting. At first I thought it was seasoning but the machine oil smell was way too strong for it to be anything else other than 50 weight. 3. The ad correctly describes it has hand hammered -be ready for a scratched and blemished interior and exterior surface. 4. It is handmade, I am guessing it was made in a consignment, pig-iron, backyard furnace -this is just me being snotty and is not based on any actual facts or information concerning this wok.

So, now that I am a proud owner of this thing, I am debating what to do with it. Since I do the cooking for a large family I am concerned about what exactly was used in the smelting, hammering, finishing of this wok? The trunk lid of a '57 Great Wall? I have scrubbed the bejeebers out of it and intend to boil water for a day or two. I would be interested to know what others have experienced with this wok.

I am giving it 3 stars because it is pretty much as described, and if you look closely enough you can see the scratches and blemishes in the Amazon picture. I think my point here is that the buyer needs to know what they are getting before they click "add to cart".

22 inch is great for big cooking quantities. Great quality wok. Remember its big size and don't forget to season the wok.

Honest reviews on Town Food Service 22 Inch Steel Cantonese Style Wok

This is a great wok. This is also a huge wok. I was looking for a larger wok to cook a full batch of fried rice without worrying about spillage, and this is perfect. Due to its size, you will need to have a dedicated wok burner/turkey fryer to even use this. I can't imagine any home range being able to accommodate and heat this thing effectively. The metal is quite thick (14 gauge, I believe). The handles are firmly welded to the wok, and the weld marks have been smoothed out on the inside. Overall, it is built like a tank and does not flex at all. It comes coated with thick protective oil which needs to be removed, and--like all carbon steel woks--it needs to be properly seasoned before initial use.

Very nice hand made wok. Good heft and stability when used with a Bayou Classic high pressure cooker. Buy it!
