Kuhn Rikon Essential Wok w/Lid, 12.5 inch
The Kuhn Rikon Essential Wok is made of carbon steel and measures 12.5 inch diameter. Carbon steel heats quickly and evenly, and conducts heat exceptionally well. The glass lid seals in liquids, prevents splatter, and allows you to watch the cooking process. With its large flat surface and gentle flare of the sidewalls, the Christopher Kimball wok is ideal for stir frying, cooking one-pot-meals and pan frying. 5 quart capacity.
The Kuhn Rikon carbon steel wok is heavy enough to retain heat, without being too heavy to handle, and the large flat base provides stability on your stovetop. Works on gas, ceramic, radiant, halogen or electric ranges as well as induction heat sources.

I have been using a Swiss Diamond wok for years, and I had no complaints. I discovered Grace Young’s “The Breath of the Wok, ” and learned what I did not know. I had been braising and not stir frying. I needed a carbon steel wok heated to the max. I just seasoned the Kuhn Rikon wok as per instructions and did my first stir fry last night. Excellent. The wok is nearly non-stick after a first seasoning, has a reassuring heft, and displays a “means-business aesthetic. ” Beauty is important to me—cooking is, after all, one of a civilization’s most enduring arts—and this wok looks good out of the box and then on the stove. Seasoning deepens a fine color that is there from the start. Other carbon steel woks I have seen take quite some time to darken and then do so unevenly; not so with this one. The lid loop fits nicely over the handle allowing the whole wok, lid and all, to hang from a rack. Not sure why the company offers an only two year warranty. Looks Ike it would last a life time and do so with grace.
This wok is very easy to season, does a wonderful job at cooking. Cleanup is a snap. Food taste more like authentic cooking than I've experienced before from any other wok. The quality is #1 in my book, don't hesitate if needing a wok. Awesome wok.
This wok is the perfect size for a small family. A really well made utensil.
Ordered it for my daughter and the fried rice she made was the closest she's had to restaurant fried rice she's ever made at home. She does wish the wok was a bit bigger in diameter.
