Question 1

season

Accepted Answer

Actually if you season stainless it is nonstick, just heat an 1/8th inch or about (not just damp, but enough that it takes a minute) high-smoke-point oil to smoke point, dump, wipe, and see how nonstick it gets. Of course soap will strip it again.

Question 2

I really like to buy this but not sure if it can handle stir fry veggie in high heat, will this wok stick or burn?

Accepted Answer

This is the best wok, I use it everyday for Chinese stir fry of vegetables.  I also have a 12 inch Calphalon Hard-Anodized Wok, and a 13 inch Calphalon Stainless Steel Wok.  I don't even use them anymore, I always pick this one to use.  This Cuisinart is big (14 inch), wide and light.  It is not as sloped as the traditional Chinese Wok, and sides are hotter than bottom.  I use less than medium on a gas range to stir fry--that's adequate.  At too high heat if will stick and burn, but high heat is not necessary.  It is easy to clean.  When it sticks, soak with soapy water, and it comes off, and any residual is removed with Bar Keeper's Friend.

Question 3

what is the diameter of the heat contact area on the bottom of the pan? i have a flat cook top want to be sure that it will be a good fit.

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure but I have a flat cook top as well and it fits perfectly.

Accepted Answer

All my stainless steel fry pans I let pan cool on a cold burner sray white vinegar  into the pan then sprinkle bakjng soda , and spray quick squirts of more vinegar onto the baking soda.Let it sit till I finish eating then take a rag or non- scratch pad cleans so fast , looks new .Then I dry it good .And very lightly oil it with paper towel.When I cook with it .set burner on high , lower heat warm pan ..Touch sides to see if warm.When warm put oil in it .Let oil get hot .When hot throw  food in pan and keep on med heat.All my stainless steel pans are like non stick doing it that way.When something sticks transfer to a cool burner wait 2 mins then scrap food .then when loosened return to hot burner to finish cooking. Fried potatoes are hard to cook perfect in stainless steel so I bake fry my potatoes .I hope this helps you.
