Lid for 16" Wok (dome lid 18 gauge) Made in USA



Nice lid
Nice lid, but I wish I had a wok to go with it. Just kidding, this thing is great. I've never owned a better wok (or wok lid) in my life, and everybody who sees it thinks I'm a stir fry god.

Thought there was going to be a problem, but...
I received this lid from The Wok Shop along with the Wok and cooking utensil that I ordered at the same time. Everything arrived very quickly; between 1-2 days. The lid I received was a different style than was shown. It was more of a flat top than a dome and it was missing the handle. I called The Wok Shop and explained the problem. The gentleman I spoke with was very apologetic and nice and said he would send the handle out to me that day. I received the handle the very next day. It was so refreshing to have this taken care of so quickly - great customer service! The Wok Shop was also kind enough to send me a complimentary set of chopsticks with the handle. They also sent me a follow-up email explaining that the dome lid that I initially ordered was on back order at the time and that is why they sent the flat top. I was actually pleased that they did because the flat top lid has a more sturdy handle than the knob that comes on the dome lid.

Knob attachment could be improved
The knob came separately, with a small wood screw for attaching it to the lid. But the hole in the lid was almost as big as the screw head, so the attachment would not be very secure and the knob could pull off.

I solved it by using a larger screw (#10 x 3/4" washer head) and drilling out the small hole in the knob to accommodate the larger screw body (I'd risk splitting the hard wooden knob otherwise).
