I was so excited to try out this wok. I was very surprised when it came on the night we had planned to make fried rice so I put it to use right away. It is a very big wok and I love that because we are a family of six. Although this does make it a little tricky to store. The metal was a bit thinner than I had anticipated but that did not impact the performance. It worked beautifully and quickly. It also washed up really well. We make a lot of Asian dishes in our household and this has been great for stir fries as well.
