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.
I don't think this is an especially good deal, but I can say:
1. My wife has purchased a bunch of Sur La Table branded kitchen things, and they're usually good to great quality.
2. This wok has all the check marks from what I can tell of a good carbon steel wok (if anyone follows Kenji Lopez Alt on Youtube, his wok looks pretty close to this one)
3. I've been in the market for a new wok for the past 2 months and this is the best deal I've seen since I started looking that doesn't sacrifice something in terms of quality (all the ones I've found on Amazon, Target, Macy's have been shit)
In for one, but if you can wait, you may be able to find a better deal.
if you do the indoor "gas" burner, i've read it should be butane because propane is too many fumes. still need to ventilate though. that's why in the end i may just have to #dealwithit on my electric rather than take those chances.
any deals on wok lid? how does this compare to joyce chen pro series?

joyce chen has a 14 gauge wok with removable plastic handles, but main handle is attached with two rivets (compared with the three rivets shown on this one).
Unfortunately woks don't really work like they are properly intended to on any type of electric range because they just don't get hot enough.
I'd also add that it will be painful to try and season it on an electric range, the process is quite a bit more involved than seasoning a cast iron pan.
that's great if you're in a major metropolitan, but most of us require shipping. even the wok shop in SF chinatown sells for $40 before shipping is added.
Comments say this one is 6 pounds. That's gonna tire your arm out quickly if you try to toss the food. You should be able to get a same size wok for less than half the price and weight at your local restaurant supply store. I bought a winco branded one for about $13.
Check your local Ross/Marshall's for woks. I got a 14" Joyce Chen carbon steel wok for $12 and a 12" stir fry carbon steel wok for $9 at Ross a couple months ago.

there are plenty of thinner woks out there, the thickness is a feature not a bug.
