Been looking for a good quality, flat bottom, coating-free, thick carbon steel wok (as recommended on many review sites for home woking). Every wok matching these features was either sold by third-party sellers or required expensive shipping. Finally came across this item on sale today with free shipping and it appears to be exactly what I wanted: reviewers in the comments report it is constructed out of 14 gauge carbon steel and the wood handle can be removed when oven seasoning.

$7 savings...not that big of a discount
For reference, the only other comparable woks I could find were:

Origins K Wok, 14", Black
$30.46
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JLWU8A
*uses plastic handle that can't be removed (prevents oven seasoning).

Joyce Chen Flat Bottom Wok, Standard, Metal
Sold Out, normally runs around $35
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VQIP4
*removable plastic handle, attached with 2 rivets (vs 3 on this model).

Carbon Steel Wok With Metal Side Handle
$39.95 plus $25 (!!!) shipping inside the continental U.S.
https://www.wokshop.com/newstore/...de-handle/
*this would be my ideal design, featuring removable wood handle and welded (rivet-free) attachments, but no way in hell am I paying $25 for shipping. laugh out loud
It's my understanding that all carbon steel woks will develop a dark, non-stick coating after being properly seasoned.

it's more of a deal if you're looking for this specific feature set, which isn't widely available today. free shipping is normally $75 minimum purchase as well, so that's an added bonus.

Can you expand? Are you saying this wok is good for an electric range?

well, it's debated whether one can wok properly at all without a 100k BTU flame. nevertheless, people still wok on their relatively low heat gas/electric stoves. most of the wok review/roundup articles that I've come across recommend a thick (14 gauge) flat bottomed carbon steel wok as the best option for electric ranges, properly seasoned of course. whether the results are satisfying depends on your own taste, but the reviewers seemed to suggest that with the right wok electric ranges are sufficient.

Thanks. I have an electric range. I love wok food. Is this wok a good choice for that?
