Stars
I have been looking
for a new wok for my kitchen so I was very excited to get the opportunity to give
this one a shot. This is my second Ozeri
Pan so far, so I already have experience with this company. As with the other
pan. This one feels to be a well-made pan. I only used it a couple times so
far, but I am very pleased with the results.
I wanted to get my initial review impression of this Wok after a few
uses, I will update my review in a few months after I have used it a bit more
& let you all know how the Non-Stick surface holds up, since I noticed some
reviews saying after a couple months they had issues with the nonstick wearing
away. I always treat my non stick with care & these pans are no different so
if I notice any reduction in the non stick surface I will be sure to adjust my
review accordingly. As it stands now, I’m
extremely pleased with this pan & am thrilled to have a wok again. I also
recently got the opportunity to get a cast iron wok as well, but Cast Iron is
whole different animal in terms of cooking LOL.. (Also not something I would be
using on a regular basis). This pan offers me the convenience of cooking with a
wok with a bonus of nonstick surface for my everyday use. I love the fact that
the Ozeri Pans come with their own protection pad for storage so you don’t have
to go out an get one. That is one of the biggest mistakes nonstick pan owners
tend to make & one of the first things you forget about... Next thing you
know you’re putting another pan inside it in the cabinet and BAM…the scratches
begin!
SOME TIPS
1 - Get rid of
cooking sprays, unless you want to frequently scrub the pan free of the residue
that builds up in areas where the spray doesn't cook off (think sticky sides of
the pan that just won't come clean with soap and water). Alternatively, try an
oil mister you can refill with the oil of your choice and avoid the additives
in traditional sprays which cause build up (soy lecithin, for one).
2 - Do not put the
pan in the dishwasher. I know some claim to be dishwasher-safe, but the high
heat and strong dish washing detergents weather a pan far quicker than elbow
grease alone. Always hand wash!
3 – In regards to the
loss of nonstick. If your pan coating loses some of its nonstick properties
with repeated use try cleaning with lemon juice or vinegar & a paper towel
or soft cloth after the next few uses, after that, repeat periodically to
restore it before throwing in the towel, it may just need some extra TLC
Pros:
Safe Nonstick coating
created with GREBLON ceramic. 100% PTFE, PFOA and APEO free (no heavy metals or
chemicals). Sturdy construction. Magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on
induction stoves, and a heat resistant Bakelite handle
Cons:
As with the other
Ozeri pan, I noticed other reviews that have stated that their nonstick coating
didn’t last more than a couple months. I have not had this issue as of yet, but
feel it is worth mentioning in order to provide a detailed & helpful
review. I will be updating my review in a few months & if I notice in the
future that this degrades faster than expected I will update my review
accordingly. I would also like to note though that is you have had this issue,
give the lemon juice or vinegar & a paper towel or soft cloth method a try
So far I would be
happy to recommend this pan for anyone looking for 100% PTFE, PFOA and APEO
free alternative to the average nonstick pan. I will remind you that special
care is recommended to maintain the coating. At the moment, this pan is a
wonder & I’m loving it.. I will update my review if that changes in the
future.
