Scanpan Classic 14-Inch Wok
Best Item From Scanpan
great for medium heat, not so great for high heat
I was really excited to get the scanpan wok. However, I have found some pros and cons.
What I really like: it is a really good non-stick pan, you can cook over medium heat, with no oil at all, and food cooks evenly and slides right out as if it is on a slick surface. I cooked this way for several times.
Con: Then one day I used high heat to stir fry with a 2 tbsp of oil, the pan never performed as well afterwards. After using it on high heat just ONE time, the pan has a tendency to stick slightly. Always have to use more oil later, in order to get non-stick.
Since I use it more for stir fry than stews, this pan is now relegated to the pantry.
I think for the exorbitant $$$ cost, other woks that are cheaper perform better.
If you cook only over medium heat, this is a FANTASTIC buy.
If you stirfry often and need very high heat, this is NOT a good choice.

Hot Danish Wok
We have an entire set of ScanPan and consider it the best cookware we have ever owned in terms of function. When the stir fry pan was introduced we had to have one. This is now the pan of choice for stir-fry and for cooking things like chowders, stews and chili. It conducts heat evenly with no hot spots, it cleans up easily with a paper towel. There is really no reason to put it through the dishwasher since it wipes clean with a sponge or paper towel. It is absolutely the best non-stick surface with which we have ever cooked.
We highly recommend the ScanPan brand of cookware and especially this multi-function pot.
One of my ENDURING favorites
Mine is over 15 years and still looks and works like new! This is a uniquely valuable pan. You can crank up the heat to high, cook quickly with assurance of smooth even heat, then rinse it under the fawcet to swish absolutely clean while it's still hot. AMAZING. No risk of warping or damage. No problem with sticking. And because of its density and superior conductivity, NO problem with burnt foods. While I love my LeCreuset, it can't handle high heat. Scanpan is a natural for things that like high heat. If you haven't tried this brand yet, this pan would be the one to try first.
