14 gauage--thickest carbon steel wok I have seen on the market. The steel underneath, on the flat bottom area is thicker and holds heat well, making this wok ideal for electrical ranges...

The metal is heavy gauge. No problem at all using it on the gas stove at full heat.

Don't know the gauge but it is plenty heavy enough for household use. No issues in the 6 months wehavehadours

Don't know the gauge. But does pretty good in the oven. It's not commercial grade. If you cook on high heat, sometimes it will lift on one side, not normally at 350 or 400.

The wok is very light weight......I bought it as a gift. I would say about three pounds.

I believe it is 18/10 gauge. It is heavy stainless steel the aluminum clad bottom for even heat disbursement while cooking. It is very nice stainless cookware for the price.

I do not know which alloy is used, but is is stainless steel. The gauge of steel of steel is rather thin, but the Tatung keeps on cooking. I chose this model because I did not want non-stick coatings touching my food.

It is only an estimate but I would say between 18 and 22 guage. It's a great WOK. Thickness is what it should be for max heat transfer. I have five WOKs and thie is one of my favorites..Hope this helps answer your question.

As far as I can tell, this is NOT AL - a magnet hangs on just fine. I'd say it's about 1 - 1.5 mm steel - I don't know what gauge that is - but it is quite heavy for a pan of this type. It is a heavier gauge than any other sheet pan I have so far. I use it mostly for baking or broiling fish - it is great, and I'd buy it again.

14" pow wok, USA made in SF Area is 14 gauge. Restaurant quality; we sell this wok to many restaurants. This is not a flimsy wok. We are serious about woks we sell. Do not go by the price; woks should be affordable, functional, practical and last a life time, get better with age and use. Thank you. The Wok Shop;

As others have mentioned, the exact grade of the steel isn't listed anywhere. Given the reasonable price point for this, I doubt it would be anything fancier than a 440 variant or similar. But it must be tempered very well because it definitely holds its edge.

Yes, you can. It's Carbon Steel; but I don't think you are going to get the heat intended for this wok. This is a great heavy gauge wok; if anything is going to give you good results, this one will. The Wok Shop is great, email them with any other questions, they provide great support.

7 gauge steel is 0.1875 inches (4.76 mm). This thing is *thick* and you shouldn't worry about warping if you don't pour water on it hot or do something else that would change temperature quickly and unevenly. I can throw mine on a bed of coals or place it on my gas stove and it stays flat as new. I always let it cool slowly on it's own. This is no thin cheap pan - There's a lot of steel in this US made griddle. Once heated, cooking is like a commercial griddle. You can cook bacon, eggs, pancakes, and hashbrowns all on one griddle. Very smart purchase.
