TECHEF - Onyx Collection, 12-Inch Nonstick Flat Bottom Wok/Stir-Fry Pan - PFOA Free, Dishwasher and Oven Safe, Made in Korea

My addiction to these pans is becoming worse. I've become a big time wanna be chef. I started out using an old Martha stewart set on a gas stove. Even though it's teflon, i still somehow burned food onto them. They also seemed to loose their teflon qualities. So when I got an induction stove, i need to get induction pans. So I decided to give TECHEF a try but honestly, i wasn't expecting much. HOLY COW was i wrong!These are apparently teflon too but I guess that not all teflon pans are made equally. I don't know what kind of teflon this is but I'm sold.*** Pros:* Health - When you first start using these you're probably going to be using too much oil. I cooked a couple of meals and was really grossed out to see that i had WAY over oiled. I was using the same amount i always did. I just have to remind myself to lightly oil. I started using cooking oil in a pray can, that keeps my dishes lighter instead of gross.* Non stick - I took my time with testing these pans because in the past i've been duped. A pan will seem to be nonstick but after using it a couple of times... everything sticks. That hasn't happened with these. I've fried, seared, scrambled eggs and even made pancakes in this pan and it's absolutely nonstick.* Easy to clean- These are a breeze to clean and things really do just slide off if you tip the pan. After frying an egg... if you wanted to, you could get away with just wiping the pan with a paper towel. I have done that if I'm in a rush but don't want to leave bits of food sitting in the pan until i get home. I use vinegar in my kitchen for just about everything, from ant control, cleaning and deodorizing. So i keep spritz bottles around all the time. If I'm in a rush I'll wipe the crumbs off the pan, spritz with vinegar and dry with a paper towel. This keeps my kitchen free of ant bait.* Cooks evenly- I can trust this pan with more delicate dishes that need consistent even heat. This wok distributes the heat evenly and doesn't have any "hotspots" Some others I've bought on amazon have hot spots where my food always burns. I'll link 2 pans that i bought here that love to burn parts of my food. Induction Bottom Aluminum Nonstick Frying-Pan Grey Fry Pan - 11 inches Dishwasher Safe Cookware - By Utopia Kitchen Durable, easy clean, 8 inch non-stick frying pan sold with a flexible nylon spatula (2 Piece Set) / PFOA FREE - (BLACK) These two pans that i linked to will almost always burn a portion of what I'm cooking. For example I'll end up with half of my pancake really well done or my quesadillas will end up with a burnt corner.* Materials - You'll notice the quality of the materials as soon as you open the box. The handle is made of stainless steel that feels modern, polished and thick. The rest of the pan is just as nice. The walls of the pan are covered with a non stick coating and are thick and smooth. They don't feel flimsy or cheap* Construction - The handles are shaped in a way that makes them fit naturally and comfortably in your hand. They're riveted to the pan, i like that because i hate having to deal with loose screws and wobbly handles. They don't rattle when you handle them like other cheaper pans do. The lid is also a perfect fit, no steam escape or uneven sealing.*** Cons-* Weight- This can be a CON especially for anyone with limited strength or arthritis. I have occasional pain in both of my wrist so i'm very aware of their weight. If my joints are ok, i don't really notice the weight. On the days that they act up, i have to be really careful. The pans are hefty and when you add a large amount of food they quickly become too heavy for one hand. I can still use it, i just have to get a 2 handed grip on the pan. So i use the handle and grab the non handle side with a pot holder.*** Verdict -I Love these pans. They look and perform like more expensive pans. They're also pans that you would not be embarrassed to have company see.

I bought this pan January 2018 and it's now September 2024. I'm a big fan of stir fry and use this pan at least once a week. This thing is still going strong, the nonstick works like day one and the only visible wear is on the outside rim, not on the cooking surface. The only tools I use are silicone or wood and it only gets washed by hand (which is super easy considering how nothing sticks to it). I really didn't know what I was getting when I bought and went off of the reviews. I just placed another in my cart out of concern that it may no longer be available when it's time for a replacement. I wouldn't be surprised is I can get 10 more years out of the current pan. This is a fantastic item and I can't recommend it enough.

(*See Update at End of Review)I was a bit dubious about their claim that the METAL handle doesn't get hot, but I'm here to tell you it doesn't even get warm. Then again, I use an electric stove, which may not get as hot as a gas stove. (But both times I've used this wok I've used the stove on the highest heat setting for about 15 minutes.)On the down side, I was a little shocked and disappointed to find that a little food does stick to the bottom of the wok, requiring some work with a Teflon-safe scrubbing sponge to remove. But here are my caveats about the sticking:1) I'm cooking stir-fry and using olive oil (for taste and calories). And, as I said, I'm using high heat. I've read that either of these factors (never mind both together) may be causing whatever it is (the oil?) to burn onto the bottom.2) It's not as if the entire bottom of the wok, or anything even close to that, has burned-on food/oil. It's just a few small areas.3) It's been 7-12 years since I've had a new non-stick-coated wok, so I can't remember if this should be expected under these conditions.But if you're pretty experienced with non-stick-coated woks, you'd probably know whether this is a legitimate gripe or not-- I suspect it's not.(Because I just got the wok and have used it only twice, I obviously can't comment on its durability.)+++* Update after 1 month of use, about 2 stir-fries per week: For whatever reason, there are far fewer of those little specks of food sticking to the bottom-- nearly none, in fact. And the ones I do find are so small I wouldn't even see them at all if I weren't looking for them. Was it just a matter of breaking in the non-stick material with a combination of high-heat use and olive oil? Is it because I'm keeping the food in motion a little more than I was before? I don't know. But I'm very happy with the result, and have raised the rating from 4 to 5 stars.One other thing. Even though the wok is about half a pound heavier than the one it replaced, it seems slightly easier to toss stir-fry around with. I think it must be the handle, which is not only totally heat non-conductive, as I said at the top, but also very ergonomic. I have smallish, not particularly strong, hands and tossing the food around is no problem at all.

Like it very much

Good, hopefully will last.

I waited a little while to write this review. I wanted to really try and test it before saying anything about it. I had a Jamie Oliver Tefal before this, and after using it for 5 years I needed a replacement. I figured why not try this, given Korea has a reputation for high quality products. And I was proven right! It does exactly what a wok is supposed to do. It's just how I like it, it's non stick and easy to wash, the little weight it has helps with tossing the ingredients in the wok. I will search and see if they have other products as well, they have won over themselves a fan!

Quality product!
