VinChef wok

This pan is gigantic!

I was watching a YouTube video and someone was cooking in a pan that had the same (or similar) interior. The Hex Clad pans are similar, but the top rim doesn’t have the repeating flame pattern that this pan has. As I looked at the closeup of the pan I said to myself that I wanted to get one of those.

[NOTE 01/06/25]: I want you to see the bottom of this pan. It is beautiful. I was standing with it, and thought it would look beautiful hung from the wall with the bottom showing. I think it is a well made pan, but it is also beautiful. [end NOTE]

I like the lid for the Dot Clad wok shown below, with the handle instead of a knob. I also like the woks that have a handle on the pan, since these are larger, heavier pans.

I actually now think that VinChef is a knock-off of the Hex Clad process. I would have to go back on Amazon to see what I paid for this, but I think it was around $54. That’s cheap. No, $67 and others, below are more than $10 less.

I just used this pan for the first time to broil some steaks in the oven. It is oven safe.

I’m going to have to go back and review the cleaning process after each use, but nothing stuck from the steaks and I used paper towels to wipe off the grease. I think oil or cooking grease actually accumulates in the little hex patterns which repeat on the interior of the pan, and this helps with it’s non-stickiness.
