Got it Ted, thanks. Going out tomorrow is Ted's, Richard's, Craig's and waiting to hear from Don on his address. Peter, yours is on the way, not sure if you got my emails, one bounced back. Total was shipping that UPS gave me + $4 for the box and peanuts and foam sheet. UPS clearly dimmed these by size, not weight, even yours Ted.

I had figured my cost per WOK would be about $65..or $260 plus or minus a couple of bucks
Actual cost is 233 + 44 = $277 or just over $69 Which beats 170 at WS. and think of the adventure of it, we got a deal done that is out of the ordinary...we put it into motion and we accomplished it. and we know we have the real deal...right from Shanghai.

Quick note: a pair nitrile gloves are in a packing list envelope on the outside, forgot to put them in. Will be nice to have to handle these while de-flashing. Only have size large, hope your meat hooks can fit in them Ted.

They apparently are still in business, but for how much longer?

Received them today in good order. I think I like the bigger ones a bit better. The 18 inch seems a bit out of round, probably a function of size.
Shaun what did u mean by "flashing?" I note a bit of what appears to be a glaze in spots on the metal. Did you use an acid in a wipe on and off with a quick rinse method? Type of acid? Naval Jelly? Or did you use Steel wool with a Bar Cleanser? Salt and oil wt steel wool? So what did you do? I am going to use Lard to season. |

Hey Ted,
Some were flashed more than others so you may have gotten ones with very little or no rust. Or my just wiping them down with peanut oil wiped away the surface. Who knows but glad you got them. I didn't do anything to any of the woks other than coat them with oil, no time I'm sorry to say. I haven't even touched mine.

Ohhh by "flash" you mean rust....acht zo. I can deal with that
There is Grace Young video where she uses salt and oil to renovate rusty Woks. So far an SOS pad and some cleanser then after rinsing heat on the stove to dry. |

I used a couple of big Table spoons of Lard with the green onions and sliced Ginger to season. Wiped a bit on the outside. After done and used paper towels to wipe off excess oil. Ginger and onions leaves a fragrant smell.

We have a cast iron wok from Skeppshult Gjuteri in Sweden and those are cleaned with water only and then "re-coated" with salt (+heat) and oil.

WS website says the handmade artisan Woks are no longer available. That means we have something you can not get anymore in the USA.

The steel wool pad and cleanser was to get the peanut oil, rust and any dirt or grime off. |

What?!?!

I received mine yesterday. I've only looked it over, no cleaning or seasoning yet. I'll try and get to that this weekend.
Such a cool wok. Thanks to everyone that put this together.

Put some Bacon in it this morning, heated Wok on my gas stove dropped 3 strips in and they started to smoke real like right now quick. Wiped it out afterwards with a paper towel, even wiping some of the grease on the back side. After just two go around's at the seasoning it is getting a nice shiny patina.
It SEEMS that they heat up quick and run hot even on my low BTU (8K) stove.

From the picture of the 12 that you posted it seems like there was 1 18', 7 16' inch and 4 14' Woks.
The 18' has the double Riveted handle. So did you get a 14' and a 16' WOK? I don't think any of you are gona be sorry. It is not all brite and shiny pretty like factory stamped out Woks but it does have character.
