This All Products give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not a good choice for induction cooking
Overall this is a decent product for use on a gas or electric stove. It seems to be well constructed, though lacking in mass at the base and heat distribution is average at best. However, for induction cooking, which this is advertised to do and the reason I bought it, this "WOK" is lacking. Though it will work on an induction burner, the wok will never get very hot. I performed a test with a thermal gun on the wok when using my gas stove and my 1800W induction burner as my heat sources. The wok performed poorly when using the induction burner and the gas stove test didn't fare much better.
The whole point of getting a wok is to have a cooking vessel that will transfer the maximum amount of heat into your food. I have a standard carbon steal wok that gets rocket hot in a minute when using my induction burner, so I know the burner is capable of putting out the heat. I also tested out a cast iron pan and it too will get over 700 degrees, though it takes a bit longer to get...
2. A Great Wok
I bought it mainly because I could not get passed the good price. This is a great wok. Very easy to work with. I thought it would be a bit big for my stove, but it is not. And it has so much room. A few times that the meat had too much liquid in it when I used my 4-qt pan, this wok came to rescue. My stove top is also much cleaner since food does not easily get splashed out of the the pan. Easy clean up as well.

Perfect Base Diameter for My Glass Stovetop! Nice Depth! Beautiful Domed Lid!
First of all, I was very impressed that such a large pan arrived so well packed and in pristine condition! Here are some other reasons why I am so happy with this purchase:
1. All of my cookware is Tramontina 18/10 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Clad, and I love them, but they do not make a stainless steel clad wok. The Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 13-inch Wok looks very similar to the Tramontina line. So displaying it in my kitchen with the rest of my cookware will work out great. I just need to find a space for it, as it is quiet large with the lid. So excited!
2. Due to a wok's outside diameter, I cannot fit one on my smaller burners on the back of my Kenmore glass top stove, as it will hit the back where the controls are. The only way I can use a wok/wok-like pan on my stove, is to get one that has a base diameter that will fit one of my front burners. The smallest burner on the front of my stove is 8 1/2" (my stove manual says I cannot use...
