The 11 inch wok is handy and fit to my need to cook for meal for 2-3 persons in the family. Quality of the wok is solid and it's heavy for a small wok, perhaps it's due to the material used. Heat is spread evenly and the foods cook from the wok turn out nice in appearance and taste well overall. So far, I enjoy cooking with the wok, it's exactly the one I am looking for.

Best wok/fry pan ever. I use it on gas. Doesn’t matter if I make scramble eggs, stir fry, veggie stew, etc. Tried meat as well and it was very easy to cook. It’s big enough for 2-4 people as main dish or for a bigger family as a side.Very good heat distribution and very easy to clean.

This is quite possibly the best cooking instrument I have ever used. I can cook about anything with it and a silicone paddle type spatula. I might still get the 12 1/2” one, but the 11” sure has been nice cook with. It also cleans up very easily. Great choice.5/2/2020 UPDATE: I rarely use my Scanpan skillet anymore, and I just ordered the 12.5” of the same type. I’ll use it when we have guests. This is an excellent addition to any kitchen.

I use stir fry wok everyday, to prepare several dishes. Currently, I own 3 woks. Just counted, I bought 10 stir fry woks on Amazon since September 2002. Below is the list of what I bought.#1, 4 of Circulon Contempo Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Stir Fry Pan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CZQ7MQ#2, 1 of Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 13-Inch Flat-Bottom Wok: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007KQZ34#3, 3 of Meyer Circulon Open Stir Fry Pan 11”: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004S8CS . Basically the same thing as #1 above. It’s discontinued and replaced by #1.#4, 1 of Starfrit 12 inch Light Cast Iron Stir Fry Pan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EQA4XGRecently I tried the scan pan wok since I liked the scanpan 14” fry pan very much.#5, Scanpan Classic 11 in. Wok: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067N7Z0CI also bought a T-Fal wok at local store. Didn’t like it. So never used T-Fal brand again.Below is my review for all the products above.#1 & #3. As you can see, I love the circulon nonstick stir fry pan.Pro:* The weight is perfect. Not too light, not to heavy. I can easily toss the contents in the wok, not just use the spatula to turn the food.* fast, even heating. Fast is important in stir fry dishes. Otherwise you’ll be cooking stew.* The shape of the wok is like a sphere not a upside down cone. So It holds more contents. I never thought this is too small, even for leafy vegetables* The non-stick works great. Non-stick is a must. Once, I tried to stay away from non-stick woks and use cast iron and stainless woks. It was miserable.* Please note that this item does not come with lid. But I already have too many 12” lids at home so it fits me perfect. If you don’t have any lid, it might be a con for you.Con:*The non-stick layer Dupont Teflon might be not healthy (the fume kills your bird etc), and might be not good for the environment (heard the rumor). That’s why I bought so many. As soon as the non-stick layer showed some damage, I bought new one. Also, I’m trying to use stainless pan as many as possible. To stirfry vegetables, you don’t need the non-sticker layer.Tips:* Use wood or bamboo spatula.* Do not cook something too hard like ribs. The bones might scratch the Teflon.* Use non-scratch sponge to clean the wok (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SSS6AU .* DO NOT put in dishwasher. It’ll damage the surface. It’s not a big deal since it’s so easy to clean.#2. Own this wonderful wok since 2010. 15 years, still look great. This is the product last forever.Pro:* Healthy. No Dupont Teflon* Even heating because of the aluminum core. It heats slower than the #1 Circulon wok above. Just heat it a little bit longer before putting everything in—there’s no harmful fumes to worry about.* It holds a lot, 13". When you cook leafy vegetables, you need a big wok because of the volume of the raw greens.Con:* A little bit too heavy, I can’t toss the contents like a professional. Have to use spatula.* A little bit too big. It’s dishwasher safe but it’s hard to put in and it’ll definitely take the whole rack. It’s easy to clean though. See the tips below.* It sticks. I only use it to stir fry vegetables, make soup etc.Tips:* Better buy a 12” wok instead of 13” one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003L0ZODE . I’ve never used the 12” one. From the picture. It looks the same. Hopefully it’ll have no cons.* Use stainless sponge, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003L0ZODE The sponge is dish washable. It makes the cleaning so easy.#4 iron cast wok. I kept it for a year then gave to my mom.Pro:* Not too heavy like other cast iron wok. The manufacturer claims that they use metal mold, not a sand mold, so they are able to reduce the gauge and offer a pan that is 50% lighter than traditional cast iron pans. It’s true.* Healthy. No Dupont TeflonCon:* It claims: Reinforced ceramic surface prevents rusting. Forget about the ceramic surface. It’ll be gone soon and it’ll rust. I sometimes left the wok on stove top after dinner and clean before go to sleep, I could see rust.* It sticks. Some people claim that seasoned cast iron wok=non stick wok. It didn’t work for me. If you don’t clean the wok immediately after cooking, it might rust. You have to scrub it and the seasoned layer will be gone. I gave it to my mom and she love it. She alway clean the wok as it is supposed to be.Tips:Clean the wok right after cooking. Then heat on stove for a minute or two, until water is evaporated.#5 Scanpan wokI bought a scanpan fry pan and love it very much. So I decided to try the wok. It didn’t work well so I don’t recommend it.Pro:* Healthy. It claims "PFOA-free Environmentally friendly aluminium. Improved ceramic titanium surface with non-stick allows use of any utensil, including metal utensils”. This is the reason I bought it. IHope it’s true as claimed. I still use bamboo spatular (No need to use metal ones. Plus I saw some review that the metal utensil damage the surface).* Heat even* Non stick works wellCon:* The size is 11”. The bottom is not as round as #3 so it’s kind of small. There’s no 12” wok available for now. I’ll consider a 12” pan if available. Consider it’s non-stick and healthy.* Heat even but not fast, which is the key for stir fry.* Heavier than #1 12” wok.Thank you for reading my review.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this wok. It is the perfect size for just one or two people. I have a larger one as well, but hardly ever use it. I use this one at least once a week, and of course how can you lose with ScanPan anything. It cooks fast and even and clean up is a breeze. I am so happy I purchased it!
