This pan is not non-stick. In fact, anything except vegetables will stick to this pan no matter what you do to it. We have tried oil, butter, lard, spray on coatings, nothing works. I wish we had never bought it !!!

just got this wok, it is 13″, not 12″, not sure for the durability, etc. It does NOT come with a lid, in case you are wondering.

I don’t have much to add about the wok. It’s great but takes a little time to get used to. You don’t need the flame as high as on an inexpensive wok as it conducts heat really well. But I was too conservative at first, cooking too low.
One comment was the lack of a lid. E-mail or call Caphalon and get a lid to fit that matches the set. No part number on the lid I just got, but a label on the box says JR1613001. That’s the glass lid with a stainless steel ring and handle. Fits perfectly and makes it perfect as far as I’m concerned.

I have been looking for a good wok for a long time. Good means these things to me:
* Stainless steel construction
* High sides – Chinese cooking could splatter quite a bit and most woks on the market have shallow walls
* Balanced weight – not feather light or deadly heavy
* Stay cool handle
* Things should not stick too much even though I don’t want non-stick surface
This wok has excelled in every one of my requirements. The handle design is great, since the two parts that are attached to the wok are far apart, heat dissipates before they travel down the handle. The only thing is now – I might be moving into a place with induction cooktop and I am not sure if this is made of the kind of stainless steel that can be used with that. If anyone knows, please drop a line!

This is a great product. Plenty large enough for my fried rice recipe and does an excellent job.
