Great stir fry pan!
This is a great buy. It's hard to find a nonstick hard anodized pan this large with a glass cover (which fits fine) at the price. And with the "Quantanium" non-stick surface, I could use metal utensils if I wanted along with the benefit of easy clean up. Also, please note that it's flat-bottom--I have a ceramic stove top and even calling Cuisinart didn't clear that up. I decided to take the risk and order it and it was indeed flat. Recommended!
It lasts for 2 years, then coating starts to peel off
This was purchased on 2007. After 2 years of regular use, we used it about 3 times a week for chinese stir fry cooking, wash it only with yellow sponge of Scotch-Brite, now as of November 2009. I've been noticed the coating starts to peel off. Since I don't want the coating mix with my food, I have to retire this one and get a new one.
Good for the first few month, and then sticky
We have been using cheap frying woks (<$10) from Chinese market and Ikea for many years. These usually last about a year before the non-sticking coating starts to fail. So this time we decided to spend a bit more and hoped that it would last longer. We bought this one in April, 2010, and by the end of 2010, the wok became very sticky, especially when light-frying marinated pork which we cooked almost everyday. We have only used wooden utensils when stiring, yet this wok still underperforms the cheaper ones of 1/5 of its price. This earns it no star.
The one star is given to its heavy weight, which helps significantly in trapping heat. This is especially useful if the stove has low heat output, which is true for most American household gas ranges.
