One of the best features of this wok is that it is naturally nonstick, thanks to the vegetable oil seasoning that creates a smooth and shiny surface. The more I use it, the better it gets. It is very easy to clean and maintain, as I just need to hand wash it with warm water and a soft brush, dry it thoroughly, and rub some oil on it to preserve the finish. I do not need to worry about rusting, chipping, or peeling, as this wok is made to last for generations.
This cast iron wok is not only a great cookware, but also a beautiful piece of design. It has a sleek and modern look, with a black matte finish and a bold logo on the bottom. It adds a touch of elegance and style to my kitchen, and I love displaying it on my stove or hanging it on my wall. It is also a great gift idea for anyone who loves cooking and appreciates quality craftsmanship.
I highly recommend this cast iron wok to anyone who is looking for a versatile and durable wok that can handle any cooking challenge. It is worth every penny, and I am very happy with my purchase. This is the best wok I have ever owned, and I can’t wait to try more recipes with it.
Taking care of this cast iron wok is extremely simple and no trouble at all. It will become increasingly seasoned as you use it over time, but unlike a new carbon steel wok, this one is ready to go out of the box and you build it up from there. Surprisingly, when you turn off the heat, it seems to cool down for cleaning a lot faster than many reviewers implied. Cleaning is a snap: When it's cool, put it in the sink and add water, use a firm brush to scrub bits out, use a paper towel and water to clean as well (no soap, though!!), then dry it well, put on the heat for a few minutes to thoroughly dry it, then wipe some oil inside the bowl, and you're done. It simply is NO trouble at all, and I want to emphasize that because the whole wok care thing worried me before I got one.
I think I read that this weighs 14 pounds. Big deal...this weight makes it nice and solid on the burner, and as a previous reviewer said, you can use two hands/two spatulas if you want to mix the food around with no worry of the wok turning over or moving around and I like not having to to hold onto a handle as you would with the light weight carbon steel woks. If I want to hold one of the handles for any reason, I put on an oven mitt, but I'm finding I don't need to hold any handles at all except when putting it on the stove or moving it to the sink to clean, and in both those instances the wok would be cold. No big deal! A reviewer a couple of reviews before this one made some excellent points so I won't repeat what he said, I'll just say I agree completely. This wok will last forever and Amazon's price is fantastic....it was almost double Amazon's price at my local kitchen shop, PLUS tax on top of that! So this is an amazing buy, and with Amazon prime it arrived in just a couple of days.
I bought this beast and the difference is night and day! It's heavy enough to survive an atomic blast, and it's dense enough to retain all the heat my electric burners can put out.
Other reviewers break it down more eloquently, but here's how I think of it: This wok is a giant battery. You see, heat is a form of energy. As this wok sits on the burner, the dense cast iron absorbs the heat from the electric coils. It has a smallish yet thick base on its bottom that sits on the burner like a pedestal. Like all cast iron, the wok is slow to heat up (charge) but when it does it hangs onto that heat. When food is tossed into it, the temperature drops a little but it recovers quickly due to this stored charge (in keeping with the battery analogy). With the charge stored in the dense cast iron, the cook is not as dependent on the heat source as he or she is with a thinner metal. Which is great when the only heat source available is less powerful than one would like.
The down side to all of this is that the cast iron holds onto this heat (charge) a lot longer than with less dense materials. So when cooking with higher heat (like a stir fry), the cook needs to be ready to extract the food from the hot and heavy wok to a plate so as not to burn the food. Because this is a heavy Cantonese style wok (with two handles, a bit like a colander sans holes) you should approach this wok as being essentially stationary from cook start to finish. It can be super unwieldy, especially when filled with hot oil.
Results? Stellar, at least compared to my previous woks. I'm a novice cook, and only really cook for myself, but there truly is a night and day difference using the Lodge wok. There isn't any boiling or braising that occurs when meat is added to the wok; It sears and achieves this nice smokey flavor. I have literally tossed the most random odds and ends into this wok and have been very pleased with the results. The average home range (let alone the stock range in a one bedroom apartment like mine) can't crank out the high temps required to make the thinner carbon steel jobs work. This cast iron wok is a type of bridge between residential stoves and the necessary sustained high heat needed to stir fry.
Downsides are few: It IS a beast of a pan! Heavy and large, you won't be slinging food around like a TV chef with this. Storage might be tricky depending on your space. It also comes pre-seasoned, but I wouldn't call it non stick. It needs to be used lots to smooth out the rough surface. Avoid using acidic ingredients out of the gate since it will strip off some of the seasoning. The bottom of my wok keeps losing its seasoning after I tossed some diced green chilies in it. I'll live.
Sorry this is so long. Here's the TL, DR: This wok is bomb for most average homeowners!

I use a very thin coating of vegetable oil on it once a week, bake it in oven and like new every single time.
Makes curries, stir-fry's, Spaghetti bolognaise, you name it it cooks it.
As long as you wash it after every use, with hot water and a chain cloth, then heat it for a few minutes to dry it off. this thing is very heavy but makes superb food love it.

Hay que secarlo siempre después de lavarlo tal como dice en el libro de cuidados para evitar el óxido.
El wok es grande, robusto y pesado.
Lo aconsejo sin lugar a dudas porque la verdad es que una vez que lo tienes solo te apetece cocinar en el todo el tiempo, y es que da muchísimo juego.
Hay muchos más? Sí, pero como este de Lodge; ninguno!!!
1) Heavy, so don't drop it ! Accidentally dropping this on a glass top will probably crack it. It's too big and awkward to pour food out of, so you'll have to transfer with utensils. Get used to that. It also won't fit into most divided double sinks, so washing is a little more cumbersome.
2) Rough surface - but smoother than most competitors - that needs some work.
3) Base isn't perfectly flat, and wobbles just a tiny bit.
4) Somewhat pricey, so make sure to get it on sale.
5) The excessive mass retains heat well, so the wok doesn't cool down as fast as you might need it to.
6) Performance on a coil element stove, ceramic burner, and glass infrared wasn't on par with induction. The difference was so apparent, that I don't think I would like the wok if I wasn't using it exclusively on induction. I did not have access to try on a gas stove.
7) You still won't achieve smokey Wok hei performance like a commercial kitchen with a massive gas flame pit will, nor will the Lodge perform as well as a dedicated outdoor propane setup on your patio.
The Good:
1) Excellent performance on induction, whereby you can get an amazing sear zone at the base. Once heated up, it will keep up a good smokey fry/sear. Even on a small 1200 watt induction burner the wok keeps hot enough with the burner maxed out. On a larger burner capable of 2000 watts, you'll have plenty of power to spare and can light your food on fire if need be.
2) Perfectly concave shape, allowing for easy and even tumbling of food. You're not stirring the food like a flat bottom pan, but tumbling it into an out of the sear zone. Control of cooking is far better than those flat bottom woks, or fry pans.
3) Comes pre-seasoned, but just barely enough. You'll want to re-season.
4) As far as searing goes, this is the best setup I've used so far for use on a home (consumer) range. Consumer ranges are limited in their output, and every little bit of cast iron helps to get intense heat into the food. As mentioned above, you won't get that true smokey Wok hei magic like in a commercial kitchen, but I'm convinced this is the best that can be done on a stove top. If you're a hardcore foodie, you'll have a dedicated propane setup outdoors - which for me is just too much hassle.
WHAT TO DO:
1) I sanded the interior smoother, removing the sharp nodules of cast iron. I used an angle grinder with a scour pad, followed by a wire brush (about 10 mins). You could also do it by hand too - but that might take hours. Before smoothing the interior, my metal utensils would skip or lightly catch on some larger than normal bumps. Since my other cast iron cookware pieces are literally 100 years old, I was used to a glass smooth finish - I really hated the factory Lodge finish - and still do! Regardless, after polishing the interior, I'm now slowly building up a season which will probably take a year or two. Already the seasoning looks better than the Lodge original.
2) The base wasn't perfectly flat, and wobbled slightly on my glass induction top. Twenty seconds with a belt sander to the base, followed by a polishing with finer and finer sand paper using a random orbital sander solved that problem. Be sure to round the edges of the rings so they don't scratch your glass top. This modification was important, as when tossing food, the wok would wobble annoyingly (making a noise too) when you were required to vigorously stir. The wok would also rotate and spin, sometimes moving off the burner and triggering the induction to shut down. I'm sure this isn't a problem with coil or gas stoves - but glass tops and ceramic folks might have issues. Perhaps it was just the sample I had. The base had no apparent machining marks - suggesting it was just popped out of the casting with little or no final tweaking. Expected in this day and age.
3) On my induction stove top, I do the following to get as close to that smokey flavor as possible. I try to use to most powerful burner (2000w), that is sized accordingly to base diameter. Using a medium to low setting (4-5), I warm up the wok for 10 minutes. After adding the oil, most recipes call for expelling chopped garlic/onions/ginger into the frying oil etc.. I turn the induction up to 6 or 7 for this, and fry for only 30 seconds. Most recipes will now call for the meat to be added, as to which I increase the induction range up to 8 or 9. For the most part, the Lodge holds its heat and keeps the frying relatively dry. Finally, when it comes time to add your vegetables, noodles, or whatever that has a high water content, I turn the induction range to "overboost". Most ranges have this uncontrolled setting that unleashes full power for a brief period of time (before the circuit overheats). You will need this extra power to keep your fry from going soupy once the veggies are added. Most induction tops can do this for about 5-10 minutes before automatically reverting to automatic cool down, which is more than enough time to sear. It's still not the same as having a 60,000 btu flame, but it's the best compromise if you like having a glass top kitchen.
I still gave the Lodge Wok five stars because it really has no competition for quality versus price, and when on sale - it is reasonable. If this wok had been expertly machined from the factory (like pieces from 100 years ago) it would probably cost three times as much as its' regular retail. I didn't get a perfect specimen out of the box, and you shouldn't expect one either. The finish quality is in-line with other Lodge products I've purchased.
Este wok tiene buen desempeño con el manejo de calor y si en los sartenes no tengo problemas para freír empanadas, con este además de no tener problemas gastaré menos aceite.
Ventajas de este tipo de productos:
- la capa antiadherente es reconstituible
- no se doblan ni se "aflojan" las asas con el tiempo, pues esta forjada en una pieza
- no requiere el uso de utensilios especiales para cocinar
- por su retención de calor ahorras combustible (en mi caso Gas L.P.)
- puedes cocinar con muy poca grasa (y cuando digo muy poca es muuuuuuy poca)
- lo puedes poner en cualquier tipo de fuente de calor sin problema
Desventajas:
Los puntos que voy a poner no son desventajas como tal, al menos para mí, si no las actividades adicionales y consideraciones que hay que tener con ellos
- Lavar con cepillo de cerda dura y jabón suave (nada de "arranca grasa") preferentemente
- Secar e hidratar con aceite
- Puede ser frustrante al inicio su uso por que uno no acostumbra a "esperar" a que un sartén común se caliente
- Uso obligatorio de guantes para su manejo
- El peso podría hacerlos poco manejables para personas mayores (aunque para eso hay una gamma hecha en acero y son mas livianos)
