I was surprised when I had already lifted the wok for the first time - and felt almost no weight at all! So I did not expect such a large "pot" (all 32cm). Weight receives cookware only on the glass lid, the I but when woken rarely need. The lightweight leads me to the only negative point I on the otherwise well-proven WMF - quality's criticisms: I slipped the wok while stirring by the light weight fast a little of the hot plate. That's not really bad, but a bit annoying. Otherwise, I am very satisfied and there are now more frequently times Asia. For cooking with a wok is fun! Thanks to the small manual - which is really kept thankfully short - are WMF Wok newbies like me equal to a guide to the manual how to sauté always best (fat in the cold and the ingredients in the wok hot then gradually fat). The manual then also contains two recipes so that you can get started right away. The Woken is easy, versatile and absolutely delicious! I also find that the ground has heated very quickly by the special TransTherm® technology - at least that is much faster than with my stick pans! To prepare four portions of the Wok is more than adequate. For more people I have not cooked, but I think that can be cooked at least for 6-8 people with the wok. Well, and by the simple, attractive shape it can also serve wonderful. Cleaning also comes easy. For me he has even turned a few laps in the dishwasher without it would not get him. By the way, for there is also a Wok Top steamer. The is already on my wish list!
