🍳 Best Wok of 2022? Wok Review & Guide | Pre-seasoned Hand Hammered Iron Wok | Review Rack

What a beautiful wok! Thank you for this thorough review!

The Chinese words in the handle says “章丘铁锅”，means iron wok from Zhangqiu. Zhangqiu is a district in Jinan city of Shan Dong province in China. Well-knowed for hand made carbon steel woks, the this place has became rather famous and the wok produced there are getting pricy because of the high demand. Normally it is hand hammered for 20000 to 30000 times by artisans and each wok need to be crafted for days. The final product would have a shinny mirror like surface and you can see the slight hammer mark but unable to feel them when you touch the surface.

Congrats on the collab! Looks like a beaut. Really cool the handle and wok were forged from the same metal! The top left Chinese character says "iron."

Holy that wok looks so nice

The real deal an authentic iron wok one of the best I've ever used. When well seasoned and properly maintained this wok will give you years of balanced performance and great flavor at high temperature.

Have you seen the copper wok? What do you think?

7:45 on slow motion had some part of the egg sticking in the wok

It’s the best of the best wok made in the place called in China “zhang qiu”. The first two Chinese words on the handle is that. The last two words mean “iron wok”. It is expensive (more than $100) because it is the best!

WOW that's a beautiful wok!

To be honest, in this video, the wok failed the egg test. It shouldn't be that hard to get the spatula under the eggs, plus we could literally see that part of the egg stuck to the bottom while you flipped it. But to be fair, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the wok's fault. The wok wasn't sufficiently seasoned. Pre-seasonong in the factory and one go with scallions and ginger aren't quite enough. I also suspect that the wok didn't have the right temperature. That tends to be the number one reason why food sticks to pots and pans without non-stick coatings. Nonetheless, this is a beautiful wok. I have come across this manufacturer very recently and I'd love to get one myself. In my case, for now, a flat-bottom one would do. I just wish they produced these in the same diameter and with the wok and handle in one piece like in the case of your wok. But I don't really see one that would fit all these criteria

Does it have any quality certificate?

your wok had a colder spot , this is where the egg left some stuck to the wok, also that wok ring is not good it does not allow enough air to flame, that`s why your flame was showing yellow, buy one of the cast iron wok support grate for round bottom woks that sits on the original cast grates this will allow flame to be normal, pork fat from bacon is I find is one of the best ways to help season a wok quick faster, Do like the wok it looks cool,

Was this egg demo done with brand new wok or did you season the wok first?

👍👍 written on your handle in simplified character is : top to bottom left row = tie3 guo1 - iron bowl/wok in Mandarin, next row top-bottom is zhang 1 qiu1 - probably manufacturing label 👍👍 sorry, cannot tell you in Cantonese.

really good~!!

Can you please recommend me a good light weight wok I bought my self a yosukata woke Beautiful durable, but crazy heavy I’m gonna be cooking for parties, weddings gatherings from 15 up to 40 people A heavy wok It’s not gonna work for me. I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of woks they use at places like panda express So if there’s something you could recommend, that would be great thank you

Do you still like this wok as much as you did a year ago?

Great wok..but no way to hang it when done. That’s kinda deal breaker. Not many cupboards can house it for storage.

Where can I buy this wok ?

I own one - it’s pretty great …
