I still vastly prefer my Atlas wok on a gas burner but the
thinner-walled woks just warp too much for use on a flat-top or
induction range and I have yet to find one with a disk bottom except
for the DeMeyere which was too darn small and way too expensive. The
14 inch Le Creuset can easily be had for under $100. (retail is $200).


You can buy at least 10 thin steel woks in a Chinese market for the price
of one Le Creuset work!


I can see why someone might want the Le Creuset wok even if it isn't the
most cost effective alternative. However I was at a going out of business
sale at The Great Indoors this weekend and people were frantically snapping
up things like Le Creuset tea kettles. One woman was on her cell phone
consulting with someone about the LC kettles. I looked at them and they
appeared to be nothing more than inexpensive stamped metal painted to match
the rest of the LC cookware.
