YOSUKATA 34 cm Pre-Seasoned Flat Bottom Blue Carbon Steel Wok for Stir Fry

Very heavy

The wife is very pleased.

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 mentionedPicture shows its state after less than 10 uses.I put this in the recycling bin as soon as my new 32cm Scanpan arrived.

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.

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

Good, expect some weightI 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.

Great walk, quite big perfect!😍

I got this wok for my husband as he has been wanting this type of wok for a while. Always used only non-stick wok. Finally decided to get the wok for him. Regretting it very much now.Reasons:The 1st work sent looked like there was rust on it. Was sent another wok. Which we thought was alright but after seasoning, there looked like burnt marks but that could be normal due to seasoning on high heat. Then tried cleaning with warm water and without soap and then season again. No difference.So then tried cooking on it, food did not taste a lot better. Almost burnt the ingredients and there was a lot of sticking. As I can't use soap and only soft sponge, it was a nightmare to clean!The wok is so heavy and bulky. When kept, the oil becomes sticky and its so difficult to put away due to the handle... I don't like pans on the stove so that really bothered me. I later realised I can't use the wok to steam things either.Either I am really unlucky with the product or this wok takes so much care and specific instructions to up-keep it that it's extra work for me. Absolutelg makes cooking a chore.Have now given up using it to stir fry anything.. total energy and money

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

Very big size not useful for my home i retured it little bit rustic when i received pakage was poor don't know is it true yousukatta product
