Bayou Classics Cast Iron Wok

once it is properly seasoned I use it all the time. As it is cast iron it holds the heat, great for frying with a small amount of oil. scrambled eggs , stir fries. chicken wings etc. With its flat bottom it is stable and safe on a gas range. I am single I can easily make a small amount of food with just a little hot oil, or a feast for 4-5 people. The magic is in the cast iron and how it holds the heat and the round bottom that is ideal for stir frying, Seasoned cast iron and blue steel pans are indestructible, wonderfully non stick and cheap . I find other so called non stick pans worthless for browning, frying, they don't keep their non stick properties for very long and are grossly over priced. Hope this helps, Steve in Cleveland

I bought this for my dad for Father's day. He is such a sucker for cast iron...it is actually ALL he cooks with! He had a friend with a cast iron wok and he had expressed his envy many times, so I thought this would be a nice gift. He loves how evenly it cooks and how little oil he needs when cooking. He has continually thanked me since! Awesome product!

Buy Bayou Classics Cast Iron Wok Now

I've wanted a cast iron wok that would work without a ring on an electric stove for years. After I managed to permanently damage the last non-stick one I had in less than 3 uses, I decided to get online and after much searching decided on this one. One concern that I had was size, most woks I was looking at were too large for my stove. Turns out this one has a larger profile than I thought it would, due to the handle. It also takes several minutes to warm up in part due to the heavy base. It also must been seasoned first. But once I got it seasoned, figured out that letting it heat up while I chopped the veggies and meat was the most efficient way to go, and that while it was something of a space hog on my small stove it really didn't matter after all, I was a happy wok user. Best part? Being heavy duty cast iron means it will never get heat damaged! I am only sorry I didn't get this sooner, it would have saved me the 40+ bucks I wasted on the one I got from the fancy cookware store that lasted less than a week before the non-stick coating started to peel off.

I bought this a couple of months ago, and I have used it extensively. If taken care of properly, it should last quite a while. I have found that it works best if you heat it on the stove for 10-15 minutes before adding anything to it. Once it is hot, it stays hot. I have made several servings of stir-fry in one long cooking session, and the last one cooked just as well as the first.

This wok is a nice size, very solid but not too heavy for cast iron. I find that the two handles make the wok quite manageable. The edges are somewhat rough, if not even sharp in certain areas. It did not arrive pre-seasoned as did some other cast iron pieces (of a different brand) that I have recently purchased.
