    The Scanpan Classic 12.5″ is a beautifully constructed wok made by Danish craftsmen. The PFOA\/PFOS-free nonstick coating is exceptionally effective, and the heavy aluminum bottom distributes heat uniformly. When measuring heat distribution, the Classic displays a 111 \u00baF difference between the bottom center of the wok and its rim, while some of the competitors show differences in the 200-300+ \u00baF range. The Classic also has a near-perfectly flat bottom, making for a stable, predictable cooking platform. At the same time, the sidewalls are angled such that pan-tossing food is not only easy but enjoyable.<\/p>\n

    We are big fans of the Scanpan Classic<\/strong>, but we admit it is not a \u201cclassic<\/em>\u201d wok. The compact size, beveled sides, heavy flat bottom, nonstick coating, and composite handles stand out when contrasted with carbon steel models like the Souped Up Recipes Wok. If you’re seeking a more conventional design, the Scanpan Classic may not appeal to you. And, if you’re suspicious of nonstick coating, this model may also raise an eyebrow \u2014 even when the manufacturer claims it’s metal-utensil safe. Coating and pan shape critiques aside, we cannot find fault with the Classic’s brilliant performance in our evaluations of its cooking performance, durability, and ease of use. The Kenmore Hammond Flat Bottom, described below, is another excellent option that’s lighter-weight and less expensive. <\/p>\n
