This aluminum wok is very light, despite the large wall thickness. Under the conditions of use (gradual increase in temperature and not overheat the empty wok), it quickly becomes indispensable in the kitchen for woks of fish, vegetables or white meat. The release coating is very durable. However, it will not overcrowd the wok, as the high walls make the move to blow a little difficult dishes. There is also a glass lid for simmering dishes. For my part, I use an uncoated steel wok to blast the red meat because the temperature is higher (Maillard reaction). Nevertheless wok Le Creuset is a very good investment for healthy cooking.
