Premium 12-Inch Stainless Steel Wok Pan - Multi-Ply Clad Stir Fry Pan with Glass Lid - Induction Compatible Cookware for Asian Cuisine - Perfect for Stir-Frying, Sautéing & Deep Frying in Home Kitchens

First of all, I was very impressed that such a large pan arrived so well packed and in pristine condition! Here are some other reasons why I am so happy with this purchase:1. All of my cookware is Tramontina 18/10 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Clad, and I love them, but they do not make a stainless steel clad wok. The Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 13-inch Wok looks very similar to the Tramontina line. So displaying it in my kitchen with the rest of my cookware will work out great. I just need to find a space for it, as it is quiet large with the lid. So excited!2. Due to a wok's outside diameter, I cannot fit one on my smaller burners on the back of my Kenmore glass top stove, as it will hit the back where the controls are. The only way I can use a wok/wok-like pan on my stove, is to get one that has a base diameter that will fit one of my front burners. The smallest burner on the front of my stove is 8 1/2" (my stove manual says I cannot use a pan that is more than one inch larger or smaller than that). Every wok I've found has too small of a base diameter to fit on my front burner (5 1/2-6 1/2" - Calphalon, All-Clad, etc.). The Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 13-inch Wok was the ONLY stainless steel clad wok that would work, as the part that actually touches the stove is exactly 7 1/2", then it gradually curves out from there.3. I am also very impressed with the depth of this wok! It can hold a lot of food! The height of the pan, measuring vertically down from the top side of the rim to the stove surface, is 3 and 7/8 inches.4. The pan is very well balanced, has a nicely shaped handle, and a wonderful helper handle!5. And lastly, which I think is the most impressive about this wok, is the beautiful domed cover! What a showpiece, as well as a functional pan that is fun to cook in! The mirror finish on the cover, a well as the pan is just gorgeous!UPDATE (12/13/2013)! I have now purchased two of the steamers that are meant to fit on this pan (I stack them)! They are HUGE and hold a lot of food!! See "Cooks Standard NC-00247 Steamer Insert for Chef's Pan, 13-Inch/32cm." I purchased them when the price was $20.99 each, plus shipping. Previous to that, they were around $17-18.00. Now they are $30.00 each, plus shipping. Get them before they go any higher!! These will only add to the many things that you can do with these pans!! P.S. I really love cooking with this pan!! I just store the steamers on top of this pan on my shelf in my kitchen - the steamers fit perfectly on the pan, and the lid fits perfectly on the steamers! Makes a great set (and a great conversation piece too)!
