Amazon.com Review
Designed by Helen Chen, daughter of renowned Chinese food pioneer Joyce Chen, the Asian Kitchen Excalibur line of cookware helps bring Asian cooking into the Western home. Crafted from durable carbon steel with a 2 mm thickness, the cookware combines rugged construction with convenient non-stick coating, so food cooks traditionally but cleans up quickly. Named for their premium 2-layer non-stick coating, Excalibur pans feature secure riveted handles made of stay-cool Bakelite. Perfect for the rapid heating conditions of searing and stir-frying, they are safe for use on gas, electric, and induction stovetops.

This Excalibur stir-fry pan is a substantial cooking tool, suited to rapid cooking of meats, seafoods, and veggies. It features a flat bottom, steep sides, and a handle ring for hanging. Measuring 12 inches in diameter, it should be washed by hand for best results. A 14-inch version is also available. --Emily Bedard

Modern wok for a modern kitchen. It's about time! July 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Best wok I've ever used. I've never "loved" a kitchen item before, but I LOVE this wok. I've seared steaks in it, stir-fried meats and veggies, sauteed vegetables, you name it, it can handle it.

MODERN WOK FOR MODERN KITCHENS! I have an electric stove, and neither my traditional Chinese steel wok nor my cheapo aluminum non-stick wok had the right bottom to heat up quickly. This wok has a completely flat bottom (no ridges), and it works fantastically on my electric stove. It is also ideal for glass-top stoves. It's about time someone designed a wok that worked well with any stove-top. Not everyone has access to a gas stove.

Wok heats up really fast, retains heat far better than my old cheap aluminum wok, and cleans SUPER easy. Even when I seared ribeye steaks in the wok, the grease and residue wiped off with a swipe of a lightly-soaped sponge under running water. I've NEVER had to scrape anything off of the tough non-stick coating, even after leaving the wok unwashed with dried food stuck to it overnight.

The Excalibur coating lives up to its advertising. It's TOUGH and it's easy to clean. When I first got the wok, I babied it cause my last non-stick wok had its coating scraped off by a spatula. Now, I'm rougher on the wok because I haven't had any problems with the coating. It's tough, and feels kinda like a pickup-truck bed-liner to me.

Angle of the sides are just right if you like tossing stir-fry with a flip of the wrist. Wok is a bit on the heavy side, but it's ability to cook well makes it worth the weight. Stir-frying with my last cheapo wok was an exercise in frustration-- uneven heat and an easily-damaged non-stick coating. THIS wok has very even heat distribution. I never realized how much of a difference that makes for stir frying until I started using the Helen Chen wok.

All my friends want one of these after seeing it in action, or using it themselves. Highly recommended.
