Rating: - Wok works fine, but it's expensive
Food doesn't stick to it, I don't have to use a lot of oil, it's easy to clean, and I can use metal utensils. Unlike nonstick pans, this wok actually gives the food a bit of brown color. This is the first wok I've ever owned, so I can't compare it to other woks, I can only compare it to other nonstick pans.
Is it worth the money? I am not sure. It IS quite expensive. But it does a good job, and it forces me to stir fry more often (to get my money's worth!).
If you don't stir fry, you should. I can now get an entire meal ready in less than 10 minutes. Yeah, my house smells like sesame oil and garlic every time I use my wok.

Rating: - Best of All Features
I have been using this wok almost every day for approximately two weeks now and this product has surpassed my expectations in every way. With the right settings (for example, make sure the wok is hot, and coat the interior surface with just a little bit of oil before cooking) you will find this wok a great pleasure to work with. I am able to brown the poultry and still release the meat very easily with just a little nudge with a spatular. I also use this wok for stir-frying of vegetables, steaming, making sauces, etc. Note - do not confuse this product with Calphalon's non-stick lines of products, as it is not marketed as a non-stick wok. It is stick-resistant. Therefore you will see a little bit sticking, but that's just fine as you will be able to deglaze very nicely with the remnant bits and pieces left in the wok.

To clean the wok, just fill the interior with some hot water and wipe, it will be ready for the next task in just a few seconds. I have experienced no discoloring issues.

Rating: - waste of money
I bought a product from Calphalon Commerical Non-stick product line and it was great, so I thought the new Calphalon One should have better quality as they are promoted. It turned out to be a big mistake. I used the product once and it was discolored, besides the cleanup is not as easy as the non-stick edition. I decided to return it right away.
