Yosukata 14" Pre-Seasoned Black Carbon Steel Wok, Round Bottom

This YOSUKATA 14-inch wok has been amazing. Paired with my outdoor high-BTU wok burner, it's an absolute powerhouse. I've used it for stir-fries, chow mein, fried rice and now deep-frying egg rolls, and this awesome wok handles every task flawlessly. The round-bottom design distributes heat beautifully, gets incredibly hot, and responds quickly to temperature changes. Deep-frying in this wok was effortless and used less oil than a traditional pot while still giving me perfectly crispy egg rolls. The quality is outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If you're considering this wok, I highly recommend it!

Awesome pan

I got this for my son in law, he absolutely loved it. Fast shipping and the packaging was nice. It has weight behind it which he loved. They will get good ise out of it. I would order from this company again. 5/5

NICE

This is a gift for my grandson at his request!

Nice wok. Cooking is great.
Not easy to clean

Great Wok I have housed it now 3 times it works as advertised.

Beautiful, authentic wok. Feels like the real deal.

Excellent quality and performance. There's no need to pay for more expensive ones - this wok hits all the right marks and outperforms pricier models. A must-have if you're into Asian cooking.

This wok works great! If you season it properly, it becomes almost non-stick. Honestly, it feels professional - like something you'd find in a restaurant kitchen. It's on the heavier side, but that's what helps it hold heat so well and bring out that real wok hei flavor.

I like the wok, but it doesnt balance on its own. I can't leave it on the stove without holding it. I'd only use it with a ring to keep it stable.

There's really no reason to spend more - but also, don't cheap out. I just retired my old carbon steel wok I bought from an infomercial in the '80s after 40 years of faithful service. This new one is even better. The quality and craftsmanship are top-notch.

I bought this wok when I first started my job, and it's been all over the world with me - LA, New York, London, Dubai, Japan, and back again. It's safe to say I've woked around the world with it!

It's larger than I expected - and I'm 82, so it's a bit heavy but still manageable. Really well made and beautiful to look at. I'm having fun learning new stir-fry recipes to try in it.

This wok is great once you understand it's traditional carbon steel - not stainless. You have to season it properly and never wash it with soap unless you re-season right after. I heat-treated mine until it turned a nice bluish color, then seasoned it with oil and aromatics. It's built for those who appreciate real wok cooking. I've used it for stir-fries, deep-frying wontons, and crab rangoons - everything turns out amazing. Cleaning is easy: heat it up, scrape gently, wipe with a little oil.

I'm really happy with this wok. I use it with a wok ring, and it works perfectly. Seasoning was simple, and it's honestly more fun to cook with than my old Dutch oven. The handle is well-designed, and the helper ring on the other side is convenient. You'll want a couple of long-handled utensils - flipping food is tricky, but easy to stir and move things around. Prep your ingredients first; the actual cooking is super quick, and results are fantastic. Solid build, great heat distribution - couldn't be happier.

First season before use with high heat is already got scratch in the middle. I even use the banana ridge to spread the oil. Still it scratches.

I absolutely love this wok. It came pre-seasoned and has aged beautifully since. I like the generous size since I usually cook for a crowd. The weight is perfect - sturdy enough that it doesn't burn food even over high heat. Definitely one of those heirloom pieces you pass down. I'd suggest grabbing a wok ring and a flat wooden lid to go with it.

So far, so good! I've used it three times, keeping it nicely oiled, and it's already developing a great patina. It's a solid pan - heavy, but not too heavy.

(For reference, I'm using it on a gas stove.) This wok gets hot - way hotter than my old non-stick one - which is exactly what you need for great Chinese food. I made three of my usual dishes, and my husband said they were the best I've ever done! The flavors popped more because the cooking time was faster. It even produced less smoke, so no more setting off the alarm. Cleaning between dishes was simple - wipe, dry, and go again. Also, the company sent a really detailed email about seasoning and care before it arrived - definitely worth keeping. It's heavy, so make sure you pick a size that's comfortable for you.

This thing is massive! You could feed a small army with it. It heats evenly and cooks beautifully. My only complaint? It's a bit heavy - though I'm only 5 feet tall, so a bigger person might not mind.

Woks just great. Once you season it properly and keep up with the maintenance, it becomes impressively non-stick. I'd say this piece is close to "pro" level - I can easily imagine a cook using it all day long for multiple steps of a dish, or for several dishes in a row.Wok cooking and stir-frying take a fair bit of prep: you heat a bit of oil and then move the ingredients quickly and lightly through each stage of cooking. This wok isn't ultra-light, but that's actually a plus - if it were lighter, it might flex or fail to hold and distribute heat well enough. The combination of very high heat and a pan that builds a little more seasoning every time you cook is the only way to achieve true wok hei, that characteristic fragrance of Chinese cooking. A good, well-seasoned wok becomes a real tool of the trade - its looks are shaped by its function, and it only gets more attractive with use.

This is a great, authentic wok. I really like the rounded bottom and the weight - the gauge feels just right and it was easy to season. I can definitely see myself using this wok for many years.

Perfect wok. The handle is really solid and comfortable, and I had no issues seasoning it. I've cooked around a dozen meals in it so far and the seasoning is holding up great. Just watch the manufacturer's videos on YouTube about seasoning and maintenance and you'll be set. It is a bit on the heavy side, but that's more than compensated by its excellent heat retention. Since it's a round-bottom wok, you don't really need to toss if you're using proper wok spatulas, so the weight doesn't get in the way. I'm using it on a 21k BTU double-ring burner, which makes this pan incredibly easy and enjoyable to cook with.The depth of the wok is perfect, and it's even replaced some of my other pans for certain meals, especially deep frying - so it's definitely not a one-trick pony.

Fantastic fit and performance - highly recommend. Seats flush and doesn't wobble.
