YOSUKATA 36 cm Silver Carbon Steel Wok with Round Bottom

Good, expect some weight I wanted to move away from traditional non-stick pans, so I decided to try a carbon steel option. I chose the Yosukata wok, and I’m very pleased with it overall. It’s made of pure carbon steel with no coatings, feels solid, and is beautifully crafted. After proper seasoning, it develops a natural non-stick surface that makes cooking enjoyable, and the food turns out great. Just keep in mind that this wok is quite heavy, and the handle is angled upwards more steeply than on a regular frying pan. At first, this made it a bit awkward to toss food the traditional way. My simple solution: I hold the handle steady and stir ingredients with a wooden spatula - works perfectly fine. With proper care - washing with warm water, drying thoroughly, and lightly oiling before storing - this wok will serve you very well.

First time buying a pre-seasoned wok. I wasn't pleased about needing to buy a new one but changing from a gas hob to induction meant I needed a flat-bottomed wok. I carefully followed the instructions before using, and have dried it thoroughly & oiled after use, and after only 4 uses it's already as good to use as my old one was which had had much use over a number of years. Was it absolutely perfectly non-stick the first few times? Not necessarily (depending on what you cook in it) but any food bits will come off. Providing you don't go at it like a hammer & tongs, you can use the scouring side of a washing-up sponge if needed but make sure to dry well & re-season. I'm confident that full non-stick-ness will be achieved with a few more uses. Is the surface still an even dark-blue colour? No, but that doesn't affect the way it functions., and I didn't expect it to be. I'm happy with it and would recommend it.

I struggled with this wok. Massively. In spite of all its rave reviews, I find it relatively useless on an induction stove. It’s definitely not a ‘wash and use’ as advertised. There’s significant seasoning to be done beforehand, and even so, food still sticks. And this is not all.. - the blue patina is pointless as it does not last beyond the first use, leaving the wok patchy looking after - rust buildup is persistent no matter how well I pre-treat, clean and dry it properly - the handle is not ergonomically designed for easy handling of such a large cookware. It is extremely difficult to get a proper grip due to its width and very high tilt - it does not work well on induction as food does not cook properly on it. It leaves my food with a very strange and unpleasant metallic aftertaste - it is heavy and I am unable to do any wok toss; it’s also because of the odd angle and height of the handle as mentioned Picture shows its state after less than 10 uses. I put this in the recycling bin as soon as my new 32cm Scanpan arrived.

Exceptional wok pre seasoned. A wok that's going to last a lifetime, I have no doubt of that perfect already used it perfect I have no negatives at all. A little expensive, but im a believer of you get what you pay for. Like I said, it will last a lifetime, very pleased.

Be aware, this Wok is super heavy. Otherwise, it's fantastic. Make sure you follow the instructions on seasoning.

The wife is very pleased.

Very heavy

Must be the worst Wok I have ever used. It started to rust after the second use and it's performance was so bad I have gone back to using my old wok which I had thankfully kept. I raised a complaint and all I was directed to was a wok maintenance video basically say that I haven't following their instructions on how to use, which I have. Very poor quality product that is basically the snowflake of the Wok world. Expensive rubbish.

As a new wok user I wasn’t sure what I was getting into buying a wok, well good news is I’m glad I did 😄. I’m having fun learning how to master my new YOSUKATA wok and I found the pre seasoned finish made for an easier full seasoning which I buggered up first time but got it right second time around ,wasn’t really that hard. From a blokes point of view I like the weight and the large wooden handle but I wouldn’t let the little 45kg better half loose with it. The large wooden handle and the helper handle on the other side make it safe to use and the heavy gauge carbon steel construction gives a nice heat range from the flat bottom and up the sides. Overall a very solid quality work horse I believe will last for many years, recommended.

The pot is lighter than normal iron cast and easy to handle. The seasoning process was easy and so far the pot is in great condition after 2 weeks

Pesantuccia ma dopotutto é una 34cm in metallo..... Dopo aver eseguito la procedura di "stagionatura" richiesta per questo tipo di materiali, direi che funziona egregiamente.

lo que mas quiero resaltar es la buena calidad del producto, si es costoso pero si se siente que uno recibe lo que paga por el articulo, yo compre el de 13.5 pulgadas, es algo pesado, no es facil manejarla con una mano. yo soy nuevo con los sartenes de acero de carbono, y algo que si se debe considerar es que tu estufa tenga una flama adecuada para poder usarlo, ya que yo no cuento con una flama grande y es un poco dificil calentarlo para hacer la comida a altas temperaturas, aunque me a funcionado muy bien, cuando la cure, dure mucho por lo mismo que no tengo una flama grande y dure mucho, aun le falta pero ya he cocinado como 5 veces con ella y no se le pega nada, al limpiarla es muy facil y es muy bonito como objeto tambien, lo recomiendo totalmente este articulo

Me encanta, pero pesa mucho
