Review title: works great at first, but then...
Product review: We received this wok as a wedding present about seven years ago and I must say that at first I was delighted. The wok conducts heat very well, it is a very useful size and the ridges inside helped hold cooked food up on the pans sides while you did other things in the hot well at the bottom. However those ridges turned out to be the pans downfall. Most asian recipes call for very high heat which can carbonize food on the pan. And once this happens you cant get the carbon out of the ridges no matter what you do. Presently, you will find big carbon flakes in your finished dishes (what is that - pepper? my husband asked). Brushes, scrubbers, even wooden skewers used point first couldn't clean the problem. I bought a replacement pan with a smooth surface - problem solved.
