The features part of the item description says:

- Food will not react with porcelain enamel surface

Unfortunately, this wok is 100% cast iron just like the pans my dad took camping to fry fish. There isn't a speck of porcelain on it and the porcelain coating is what's supposed to make Le Creuset stuff so good. Uncoated cast iron is hard to clean and it's just a matter of time before it rusts so back it goes to Amazon.

I've asked them to fix the incorrect description but so far, they have not bothered to do so.

I've had this wok for 2 years. It's GREAT! If you know how or learn how to take care of cast iron it's the best. I use this to stir fry, deep fry and saute in and couldn't be happier. The secret to cast iron is to make sure you season it as instructed. When done using each time wash, put on stovetop burner, turn on HIGH until all the water evaporates, place a dash of vegetable oil in it, TURN OFF THE BURNER, swish oil around entire inside with paper towel. Let cool and put away. If you do this EACH time the cast iron is used it will be like Teflon. Try it.

I bought this wok to match my Le Crueset dutch ovens and casseroles. I can say from experience, do not buy this wok. I'm amazed such a fine company as Le Crueset would market this item. Save yourself a lot of money and buy a Joyce Chen or some other brand carbon steel wok for a 5th the cost. Cast iron is a wonderful metal to cook with in the oven and for select projects on the stove-top, but not for stir fry and not at this price.
