Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Kordisen wok sitting at number 8 in this guide is a 33 cm, 5.6 L carbon steel pan with a flat bottom, a detachable wooden handle and a glass lid designed to stand upright on the worktop when you put it down. It costs £27.19, carries 4.5 stars from 392 ratings, and the listing places it 13th in Amazon's Woks category.
What puts it in the guide is a disagreement inside its own listing. One field, "Product Care Instructions", reads "Dishwasher Safe". Another field on the same page, "Is the item dishwasher safe?", answers "No". The bullet copy then gives a third version: hand wash with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge, then dry thoroughly. The same spec block also files the pan under "Has Nonstick Coating: Yes", while the bullets describe a surface created by pre-seasoning carbon steel treated with nitrogen at over 1000°F. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from a test by us.
