I lost my previous wok in a move, so I have been on a lookout for a new great wok. AnolonX seemed like a good one to try. And the wok does not disappoint. It heats up a bit slower than my previous one, but once it is hot it maintains the temperature perfectly. I used only low-medium setting on my stove and the wok really did not need anything higher than that. We used it to make teriyaki chicken, steak, fried rice, and even spaghetti, and they all came out great. I like the clear lid that lets you control what is happening inside the wok. The handle stayed cool to the touch each time we used the wok, so it was easy to move it to a different burner or take it off the stove completely. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to any aspiring chef who like to cook with woks.
