I am fully satisfied with the wok. Have to get exactly what I had imagined and as described. The size has not surprised me because it is so specified in the product description. I can only say that there is in my opinion no different than other stainless steel utensils burning on the subject. I like to cook with it because a lot of space is in a wok. Must also say that I have a bigger oven (80cm wide) have as default.
