Summary: I was a Fool to Ignore the one Star Reviews
Comment: The wok is the worst cast iron product I have ever seen and it came broken just like the 1 Star folks said it would.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Wok!
Comment: I really like this wok -it is solid and the more you use it the better it gets, like all cast iron, my friend from Taiwan wants one like it, she was impressed with how well it worked for an electric stove.

Summary: Defective
Comment: I wish that I could write a review on this item, but I can't. That's because both the original one and its replacement arrived cracked. The first one looked intact grossly, but when I started scrubbing the heavy black coating it appeared that in fact it had a crack that was covered by the black coat. It was about 2 inches long, running straight down from the rim towards the bottom. Knowing cast iron, if I had tried to heat it for seasoning purposes it would probably have cracked all the way through and split the wok in 2.
I sent it back to Amazon and they quickly shipped a replacement. The 2nd one arrived in worse state than the first. I could tell it's broken even without opening the package, by the rattling sound inside. Upon opening it was apparent that one of the two handles was broken off completely, together with a significant part of the rim. I didn't bother taking it out of the box. I tried to create another return, but Amazon sent me back an email saying that I cannot get it replaced a second time, and instead I should send it back and wait for them to decide what to do about it. I hope I'll get at least a refund.

Summary: Heavy but great wok.
Comment: I wanted to switch from a thin metal wok to a cast iron one because the mass of cast iron can store a lot of heat. This one works perfectly for me in that regard and is just a good wok once you have it properly seasoned. The only hesitation anyone should have in buying this, is the weight. It is very helpful in building up that heat so it doesn't cool down mid stir fry but may be a bit big for some people. I am a pretty big guy and it is still a two hand kind of wok for me. I can't call that a problem though, since the extra metal soaks up the heat that lets you come close to the type of stir frying that restaurants can do. The price is very reasonable for such a big wok as well.

Summary: Very happy with this item
Comment: So far, I am very pleased with this item. It is heavy duty, sits flat and works well. It was a little difficult to get the protective coating off of it in order to season it but once I got that done, I was happy. Just a word of caution: Get off ALL of the protective coating or it will smell like you are burning plastic! I had to let it soak first and scrub really hard to get it to come completely off. This product should last a very long time if taken care of properly.

Who says you can't enjoy your favorite stir-fry dish on the grill? Instead of cooking indoors, cook out using this wok. It's made of cast iron so it heats up evenly and stays hot for those flash-fry meals. Create an all-veggie dish or add something creative to the mix like barbecue chicken or marinated prawns. Two side handles are wide, offering enough room for grabbing even with cooking mitts on. Flat-bottomed, however not recommended for ceramic-top stoves.
