We have most of the classic Scanpan line of cookware. I own both sizes of woks. This smaller classic 11″ wok is a nice size for small meals. If I am preparing a small stir-fry meal for my wife and I, or just something for myself, this is my “go-to” pan. I have had several steel woks and even an electric wok in the past. The Scanpan is my favorite for a couple of reasons. First, Scanpan has a great surface, and it is nearly non-stick. It’s not as slick as Teflon, but it holds up well in the kitchen. My 15-20 yr old Scanpans have some chips in the non-stick surface, but every traditional non-stick pan I have ever owned needed to be replaced after a few years despite delicate treatment.
I have an electric stove, and love to stir-fry on HIGH. I noted another reviewer said cooking on high seemed to change the surface of the pan. I haven’t encountered that. I try to always have my food prepared before I start the heat. The pan won’t burn if there is adequate food in it to absorb the heat…..and I stir like crazy at times!
These pans are great if you need to “deep fry” small batches of something. The small bottom and high sides allow me to use just a small amount of oil and not get splatter all over my stove.
And lastly, there is no problem with rusting like on the steel woks. When the food is done, we serve it from the wok, and whatever is left can stay in the pan. Our old woks would discolor or rust right away. As I have said, I own both sizes of Scanpan woks and have even given them as gifts to family members. They are the best woks I have ever used.
Just LOVE these things. Work on the road, so I’d normally buy one for cooking in motels from Calgary to New Iberia. Then give it away at the job’s end. Now that the handle’s more stable and heat resistant it’s just about perfect. The plasma-embedded titanium ceramic means you’ll still need some oil. But has none of the shortcomings of PTFE. You can find the same with slate-coated pure aluminum skillets for less at TJ or Marshall’s, but here it’s Scanpan’s design features that seem superior. Don’t even think about the price. I’ve had one for 18 years and you can see a few scratches in but not through the coating.
I bought this one, but it was a little too big for my stove. So I returned it and bought 12 1/2 inch instead. So far I like it very much.
I bought this pan thinking that I am buying a non-stick pan without Teflon. While the health issue became questionable concerning Teflon, I am willing to pay extra to be safe, and at the same time still enjoying the non-stick feature. The product description somehow suggested that the pan is non-stick because it’s ceramic titanium.
Well, I was wrong, and I didn’t know I was wrong until I accidentally browse the company’s website and read its FAQ. In their FAQ, it says: “The ceramic-titanium particles become one with the pan at that point. A subsequent application of a specially formulated PTFE provides the nonstick effect.” PTFE is the problematic element of Teflon. Well, I wish the company discloses this information somewhere on the product!
This is a very nice piece of kitchen ware. I first came accross it while house sitting at a friend’s place and ended up using it for making most meals. I had to buy one for myself.
Just beautiful quality.
The only minus point is the lack of lid which would come very handy.
