Review: Poor Quality. The base Distorts Under Heat. Seasoning Flakes Off. - The Classic Series (not seasoned) is an entry level budget wok that had positive reviews on some kitchen review websites. As this is my first wok i didn't want to spend alot & it isn't too difficult to season which saves on cost. Like all woks they require some maintenance to prevent rust. Unfortunately this wok is of poor quality. Firstly i noticed the two rivets that hold the handle on is not secure, there is some slight wobble. I then followed the instructions to remove the protective lacquer by boiling water in the wok & then scrubbing with soap & hot water to rinse off & dry. Although its difficult to tell whether it has been removed, the sticker still left a mark on the pan regardless. I started the seasoning process by heating the pan & adding advocado oil which has a high smoke point which i burned off to make it polymerize to form a non stick coating, including around the sides. I repeated this four times. I then cooked some root veg just to absorb any chemicals & further help the seasoning before cooking an egg to test its non stick coating. Success i thought, the egg did not stick & i could slide it around the pan. However with further cooks the non stick coating started to peel off, it doesn't adhere to the carbon steel too good. I also noticed the wok distort significantly on the bottom with a 2cm gap at one end making it sit uneven & wobble on the stove which isn't very safe. This tells me that the metal is too thin on the bottom (1.5mm) & off poor quality. £25 may seem like good value compared to the pricier woks but its still overpriced considering its a poor quality product that wont last. You buy cheap you buy twice. So i decided to return it back to desertcart for a refund as its not satisfactory.
