This looks heavy and probably takes ages to heat... fine for a slow cook stew perhaps but hardly appropriate for the stir fry fare for which its marketed. Please please please when will designers do their research....

Has the designer asked himself the fundamental question of "what is a wok"? A wok is not just simply a dish-shaped Teflon surface to "flip" food. It's usually a 2mm thick steel with ROUND base so it gets all the heat that's required from a GAS HOB in order to get the the food fried. This design will just cook the food like any another pan and the round end will not make any difference.
