I cook almost every single day for myself and my family. I am Chinese, and I've always wanted to buy a nice wok to cook like those Chinese chefs. After researching woks on Amazon as well as other sites, I decided to purchase the T-fal nonstick thermo-spot jumbo wok. I believe I've had this wok for more than a year now, and I've used it almost every single day since the day I got it delivered. I read the reviews and decided to use nothing but plastic/wooden cooking utensils. Actually I just use a wooden one most of the time to prevent scratching, and the same goes with washing the wok. I just use a regular double sided sponge to clean this. After more than a year of using this wok, I haven't found a single scratch or peeling on the wok. I like the fact that it's large so it holds a lot more food, and the thermo-spot really helps the wok heat up quickly and evenly. I consider myself a fast cooker, but with the help of T-fal wok, I find myself cook even faster! I also love the extremely affordable price since I bought it for much cheaper than current price (Amazon always has different price point throughout the years). I understand people might have to purchase a separate lid for this wok can be annoying and cost extra money. I didn't purchase a lid, and just opt for the old thrown away pan's lid which is about 10 inches. I still find it working well with the wok. It's really up to you if you want to have a same size lid that will look nice with the wok, but I think whatever large pot/pan lid you have will work just fine with this wok as long as you don't fill up the entire wok with food. I love this wok because I can pretty much cook everything in it. I find it really good for sauteing and stir-fry, but it's also nice for steaming food (that's when the same size lid comes in for the rescue), and it's great for braise food or even soup. Of course not soup that feeds more than two people. Overall, I think it's a multipurpose wok that's great for cooking everything. The extra handle helps with balancing the weight if you have trouble holding it with one side. The wok is pretty lightweight even with food in it. It's also a breeze to clean this wok, and that's a major plus in my opinion. I do use olive oil to cook my food so that might help with coating and protecting the wok. I think if you be careful and take care of this wok, it will last you a very long time. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a wok for fast cooking, easy cleaning, with nonstick quality, and is user friendly.
