Seems good, I was very excited to see that a local shop had opened up to sell these pans. However, quite let down because the prices were astronomical! Neither China nor this brand has any cachet or history at this point which could command such high prices, even for someone who believes in the product and wants to give it a try. In comparison the wok shown in this video is over 50% more expensive than even the most expensive Le Creuset pot I could find. The cost is over 60 hours worth of our minimum wage around here and it can be more than 1 month rent for some people. The cost is so high that I cannot just give it a try and put out the good word. I don't know who would buy, even professional chefs in town would not because they go through so many pans every year. I'm not saying it is not worth the cost, but at this point we just don't know and cost is too much of barrier to entry. These days who can afford one month rent for a wok?
Of course, except the quality of this brand is unknown to most people. I have not heard of anyone espousing the qualities of this brand other than themselves. No "professionals", no bloggers, no friends, nobody. How can you get the word out? Somebody must be willing to take a chance and try it. But the problem is this not just slightly pricy, maybe I'll give it a try and if it doesn't work, oh well. This is like one month rent pricey. The only people who can afford that kind of try already have people cooking for them.
I would love to live in place where a month's rent is equivalent to the price of one of these ZhenSanHuan woks. Where I'm from rent for two runs 10x the price of their entry level ones (which seem to be around $200). And China doesn't have any chachet when it comes to woks? Chinese is one of the oldest and most sophisticated food cultures on the planet and the wok is an essential implement therein. This is a high end brand that was featured on the most promient Chinese food documentary series of all time and they do have good reviews in English online to back that up.
The original message was from 2 years ago. I notes at the time the shop was selling the cheapest version of their handmade wok at 60 hours of the local minimum wage. At current rates this works out to about $650USD. You tell me if that is affordable to someone even if it were in America. (Granted rent has gone up astronomically since then so this may amount to 0.7 months rent these days) And no, sorry this brand has no cachet. Ask anyone around the world if they can name a high end Chinese cookware brand. And if you want to know if it's truly worth it, go peek in the kitchen of any high end Chinese restaurant and see what they use. That's exactly what I currently use and it does not cost even close to $200 USD.
@@eatsfats8497 you know many professional kitchens aren’t heavily using le creuset either, right? And yet that’s a benchmark you yourself set for a brand ‘with cachet.’ These super high end cookware brands are aimed primarily at the home consumer market, in which the desired characteristics are different than what you’d want in your average high volume restaurant kitchen. And I’m not attempting math based on a line in the video, I’m basing my prices on what the brand’s site is charging today- around $200 for a wok (less if there’s a good sale).

Quality has its price. it has always been like this.
