Love this wok,
By HWS (Ashburn, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 16 inch Traditional Cast Iron Wokset
After the purchase of my last non-stick wok (over $100) that lasted about 2 years using only plastic cooking utensils, I decided to go for a cast iron wok. I've started purchasing Lodge cast iron products, but opted for this wok because it reminds me of the wok I used growing up. I'm very happy (and so is my wallet) that I made the decision to go with this one. For years, I've wondered why I can't get that nice loud "sizzle" when I first put my food in a heated wok, now I know. I've been using the wrong type of wok! Anyway I cooked fried rice in it after owning it for about 2 weeks and it was great. The rice stuck a little bit (since I was using oil sparingly), but the clean up was easy.
After a couple of uses with this wok, I noticed that my right arm would get really tired. I found out that it was due to the fact that the spatula was too long. I contacted the Wok Shop on the purchase of a shorter handle one. Funny, it felt like they were grilling me, but they were just making sure that I bought the right spatula for the size wok. After much discussion, they "let" me purchase a 14" spatula (it comes with a 17"). They wanted to make sure I didn't spend money for an unneccessary item. Funny, most companies will sell you anything, but the Wok Shop wanted to make sure the product was right for me before selling it to me. The 14" spatula works great and it's the right length for a short person that is closer to the wok when cooking. If you're not sure what size wok to go with, I would recommend the 16". You can cook as little or as much food as you want in it.

Amazing wok!,

This review is from: 16 inch Traditional Cast Iron Wokset
The tools contained with the purchase are excellent, and the wok is wonderful, durable, and authentic.
Once properly seasoned, it is an easy-to-clean and essential part of the kitchen. I am VERY pleased with this purchase, and know you would be as well!

NOT AS ADVERTISED,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 16 inch Traditional Cast Iron Wokset
This is NOT a cast iron wok - it's is a carbon steel wok.
There are others like this here on Amazon for around $[...]. Cast iron woks are (get this-) cast from molten iron. They are thick, (usually at least 3/16 inch on the sides and over 1/2 inch on the bottom) and heavy and extremely ridgid. They heat up slowly and distribute the heat more evenly, reducing the likelihood of hot spots and uneven cooking and give you greater versatility than do the carbon steel variety. Carbon steel woks are good in their own right, but do are not used in the same manner as cast iron woks. So, do your research before you buy. I took for granted the listing as being a true cast iron and now I need to go spend another $[...] for the one I need. As for the accessories, the lid that came with mine was not the same as in the picture (polished stainless steel with a black plastic handle) and does not even fit the wok - it is 14 inches in diameter for a 16 inch wok?? I loose about 20% of my cooking area due to this. The bottom ring is made of thin punched metal. No comment there other than you get what you pay for (except in this case.) As for the spatula - I am certain the wood handle will fall out just like everyone is saying, but it is simple enough to pinch it into place permanently. Mine came with an extra utensil not advertised - a bamboo cleaning whisk. Nice for decoration, but not practical in a modern kitchen. If you are looking for a thin steel wok, then there are others on Amazon that are better quality and less expensive. If the shipping and restocking fees weren't so ridiculous I'd return it. As it stands, I'll use this one when I need to use a traditional wok, and go get the cast iron wok I intended to buy in the first place. [...] Worse yet, there is no warning of the insane shipping fee until after you complete your purchase and get your confirmation email. I was lucky enough to catch it in time and change the shipping method, but I have read feedback from others who weren't so fortunate. Lastly, be very careful to buy only from the guy with the 99% positive feedback and not the other guy. I'm not even going to try to leave feedback (I got mine from the guy with the lower feedback.) In his replies to customers negative feedback he has not only been rude, but has gone so far as to post their email, tracking numbers and even addresses in his replies. After I write this review I am contacting Amazon to see what can be done about that.....
