I bought this wok from Williams-Sonoma for about $100 and used it once with my plastic tongs. When I pulled it out of the dishwasher I notice some scratches on the cooking surface. I think I might take it back.

It is non-stick alright. However, the interior coating is easily scratched but using nylon spatula. I sent mine in for a replacement. The new one I received has exactly the same problem. It leads me to believe that the whole product line has the same quality. I would recommend for a $17 14″ Carbon Steel Wok from Walmart. It is non-stick when seasoned correctly. I’ve been using one for three months now and it is very nice. I owned at least two sets of Calphalon cookware. Both are their high end product lines. The quality is going downhill and the price remains high.

I’ve owned several woks through the years with various coatings, not coated(cast iron) and this is the most durable trouble free wok I’ve owned. I’ve used it for high temp stir fry, searing, sauces and recipes that require finishing up in the oven. I followed the directions on the first seasoning and care instructions and have not had any finish degradation at all. I’m very happy with this pan as I head into the 2nd year of ownership.

I had a cheap wok several years ago – everything stuck and it was miserable to cook with. So I was litlle skeptical that this wok would be any different — I was pleasantly surprised. I have used it a number of time with fabulous results. The non-stick surface is great!
I highly recommend being careful about the oil you use — I typically cook with EVO, but for high temp cooking, use something like peanut oil. Stirfrys turn out resturant quality! I am particularly pleased with the see-through lid – perfect for steaming or watching quick-cooking items. Amazon offers one of the best prices that I’ve seen for Caphalon, too. Great product.
