Review on 🍳 Helen's Asian Kitchen Carbon Steel Wok Set - 13.5-inch Flat Bottom Wok with Lid, Stir Fry Spatula, and Recipes Included - Silver/Gray/Natural by Jesse Runninger

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This wok is rusting! Even after seasoning.

At first I liked the feel of this wok. It's a good weight and seems well balanced. I've had several woks, both non-stick and steel, like this one. So I know how to season the metal so I never have wok rust problems. I mean it started rusting as I was cooking in it. And I didn't cook anything sour, like tomatoes. I fried the mushrooms in olive oil, butter, garlic and red pepper flakes. Within 15 minutes I had a ring of rust right over the ingredients due to the steam escaping from the mushrooms. I seasoned the wok after cooking the mushrooms. I took the wok out tonight and I have a new spot of rust. I always dry my gear completely before storing it in the pantry. Just wanted to warn others that this might be an issue before they buy this. And as so often, I find out 5 days after the return period has expired. So this one goes in the bin and I'll buy another brand.

Pros
  • Home and Kitchen
Cons
  • Sad packaging
