Got email today about their Mother's day sale. Most of the discounts are for their US market. For Oz, this one is not too bad for those who missed out the last deal. I got mine from last year and still going strong.

Not at that price… too expensive
How do you drain the rice?
With a colander ofcoz
hayyah…. use the finger…..
Not suitable for induction cooktop I presume?
Most proper woks are fine, because they're carbon steel, not stainless. This seems to be carbon, which is good. The price is quite steep, though, if you don't have an Asian grocer nearby.
What @sortius said. The responsiveness of a carbon steel wok with flattened base is excellent on induction.
Thank you guys. Would carbon steel stick food like crazy though?
Season the wok.
If you don't season it, yes. If you buy it, google how to season it properly and it's as good as a non stick pan
Thanks OP, got a new stove top and a wok was on the list.
Oh it's a wok. The image made me think it was some metallic egg decoration or something
In what way is this different (better?) than the similarly priced or cheaper woks you can get down your local Asian supermarket?
I also would love to know this. For those who don't have access to an Asian grocers, you can get a seemingly identical wok for $30 from kitchen warehouse or similar chains
Mamafong got rusted lol
Gotta say, the D.Line one from Kitchen Warehouse has been absolutely fantastic for us, for just $30. We use it nearly every night for the last 6 months or so. Did a big season when we initially got it, and now just re-season it to blacken whenever some of the silver shows through.

nearly every night?! that's a lot of stir fry
We make all sorts of meals in it! Curries, burrito mix - list goes on
I own both. The D.Line seems to get loose rather quickly. Also I find myself enjoy cooking with the round bottom wok more than these flat bottom ones
Round bottom all the way. Flat bottom are only good for electric or induction stoves, in which case I would argue that a wok is the wrong tool. Trust me, I am currently lacking a gas stove :(
Round bottom + gas = great success.
Any seasoning tips?
There seems to be a hundred different ways to do it
Don't stress too much about it. The first season layer just put as little oil as you can. Then let it cool down then do 1 or 2 more layers if you like (I didn't).
Then just start using it. You will notice some uneven colour area at first but that's fine. Just make sure you clean with water (get 1 of those bamboo brush, really help), quickly dry it on the stove and out a very thin layer of oil on then leave it :)
After a few times, it really is much better than non stick ones
What is the difference between a wok and a frying pan?
shape. easier to move ingredients around since the its more curved
What is the difference between a cup and a plate?
can do a little bit or a huge cook
heat distribution is the key. The wok-hey is also a massive change to flavor.
99% of home cooking with a wok aren't gonna get any wok-hei. Household burners are too weak
I disagree. There are techniques where you use a blowtorch on top which creates a similar effect although not as good. For best effect better invest in a strong outdoor burner
@Solario31: You think more than 1% of home cooks have a blowtorch?
Let alone know to use it on their wok cooking?
Look big enough for me as I tend to spill things everywhere when cooking.
Remember to season and break in the wok before using. Lasts forever.
If you need to season these, how do they work with acidic foods? Is there a similar problem to cast iron pans?
Yep, same deal as with cast iron. Season it, don't soak for too long, reseason when it looks dry.
If you cook something like pasta sauce in it for a few hours or leave it sit it will strip otherwise it’s alright.
So I have a big question for you - how much does shipping cost. Do they actually take your order now and then charge you later for an additional amount? These go for only a little bit more on Amazon every day of the week with shipping included. I'm trying to understand how this is a bargain if I get charged $15 for shipping on top of the $49 price tag.
The backstory is that this item has been on my camelcamel watch list for like six months.
love my Mammafong wok. ended up getting the lid too afterwards, wish I got it together. get the lid, it fits securely, happens to just fit into where the bolts are.
Anyone has experienced with Chef Inox wok pls?
Currently selling A$39.95 on Amazon,
https://www.amazon.com.au/Professional-Chinese-Handle-Asian-…
no experience with their wok, but their pots and pans are good quality (and value!)
I got the pre-seasoned one from Amazon . Love it.
Around $40 too much.
Any cheaper deals?
Asian grocery store.
