So glad I took the chance to purchase this wok. I can cook all sorts of things in it and the high sides stop me from flicking food everywhere. It has a lovely even heat and is perfect for frying things at the bottom. You have to scrub the special coating off before you can use it, and oil it before you store it and otherwise it's all good. The handles are attached securely, it's a good size and the flat bottom means I can use it on my stove. Nice and heavy, well made.
