Lodge Logic 9" Cast Iron Mini Wok with double loop handles, L9MW

Lodge cast iron products are the only ones that I will buy. I am familiar with the quality of the product and I am always 100% satisfied. In an emergency you can use this on any outside grill even in a fire pit if you needed to. If my power goes out in bad weather I know that I can depend on Lodge to get me through it

This is a very nice wok; it is LARGE and heavy.... so be sure to take that into account. I also purchased the cast iron trivet made by Lodge that is about 8 inches around. I put it in the bottom of the wok and it gives a very large cooking area for baking chicken--or even a turkey---and with the cast iron trivet in the bottom of the wok, the juices flow into the bottom of the wok and not on the food. The extra height using the trivet also allows hot air to circulate under the food for more even cooking. I would HIGHLY recommend this item.... I've used woks costing 4-5 times the price and this is the BEST!!!

Quality Heavy Cast Iron Wok. Came 'pre seasoned' but I used the first time heating it as an opportunity to build on that initial coating. It arrived gray and is now the typical black cast iron color. I found a different source for asian constructed iron woks that were around 20 dollars plus freight. The woks can be flexed with bare hands and are known for uneven heat and breakage. With the free shipping, this one was a comparable prices for easily 5 times factor quality increase. Buy it once and have an heirloom for your great grandkids. I have several hundred pounds of antique collectable and still very functional -brand name- cast iron cookware that I use regularly. This is just as good or in some cases better than those. Better because Griswold or Wagner did not make a Wok. Dutch ovens, bean pots, Frying pans, pot roasters, chicken friers, griddles, Waffle irons yes, but not woks :)

Exceeds every expectation, especially ease of cleaning. Heats up and cooks ingredients uniformly (on an electric stove). Minimal use of cooking oil and clean up was effortless. Of course, being cast iron, it is heavy but worth its weight! Priced very reasonably against its competitors. I really do love this wok!

Little heavy to handle, but that makes it quite rugged and even heating on the induction cook top. I put a piece of parchment between the wok and the glass cook top to keep it from scratching, but it doesn't burn because the pan never gets much above 400 degrees F. I can measure the temperature with my infrared thermometer I got from Radio Shack. I'd like to find a 14" lid to keep the heat in as I cook. I also seek a wok stirer or spatula - I'll check out a Chinese cooking supply store.

This cast iron wok functions to my expectations. It's really nice that it pre-seasoned. It conduct heat and stay hot for a good long while. I've used it 20x now and I don't see any rusting. It's heavy but having two small handles on either side makes it nice to work with and fits better on the range. I can also hang it on a wall hook rather than having it sit on a shelf with a long handle taking up precious space.

Well, I've had my new wok for about a week-and-a-half, and used it about half a dozen times. So far it's been wonderful. Naturally it's a bit heavy, which is a good thing if you like your wok to stay stationary, but not so much if you're given to moving the pan around as you stir or serve up its contents. Along with being heavy, it's just large, and when use on an electric (coil) stove top (which I have) the two factors do combine to make for a significant temperature difference as you move from the center of the wok. (I'm not sure if other stove tops work the same way or not.) Naturally it takes the slight additional care that's goes with iron cookware. It is pre-seasoned and ready to use, but of course doesn't yet have the full seasoning that comes with years of proper use and care. I went into this purchase knowing all these factors, and so there were no surprises. And I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Seasoned beautifully! Nice flat bottom and even heat. Less mess when frying because of the high sides. Cook everything in it. Non stick.

This wok gives the frying foods a nice crunchy crust. Oiling the cast iron wok is a must to keep it from rusting after each wash. I use a baking pan to cover it when it isn't being used. It's would be nice if it came with a lid.

I rated the item a 3 star , primarily because of its small size. The item works as advertised and I have no problem with its value and how it does what it is designed for. Wish I had purchased a larger one as this can primarily for only one person. This item is perfect for a single person and for the price it would be hard to turn down
