What Others Say
Overated, but OK considering the price.
I purchased this wok because of all the wonderful reviews, but this doesn't live up to the quality of other cast iron products I have. The interior/cooking surface is bumpy, as with other lower quality cast iron products, vs. the nice smooth/slick cooking surface on higher grade cast iron cookware. If anyone knows of a great quality cast iron wok with a very smooth surface, I'd love to know the brand and model. That said, this wok will do, especially considering the price, until I find the perfect wok.

OK, pre-seasoned is one thing and actual use is something else. I've been using this wok at least weekly for over two years and it's just starting to show it's true potential. First of all most 4-burner stoves produce about 4,500 BTUs per burner. That's inadequate for stir frying. I have a 13,500 BTU burner which is barely adequate for stir frying -- even after a 10 minute pre-heat. If you really want this wok to sing, get a Big Kahuna at 65,000 BTUs and the magic begins.

The best investment you'll ever make
I recently bought this wok after having taken a Thai Culinary Class in Thailand. I needed a wok to produce authentic Thai food. I was a little hesitant to buy this wok since there was no mention in the description or in the reviews about the bottom of the wok. Most woks that have a rounded bottom come with a ring so that it will sit on your cooktop. Thai kitchens assume that everyone has a round bottom wok and the cooktops are fitted to accomodate that. Not so here in the US. The wok itself is round on the inside but flat on the bottom, so no issue there. It works nicely on the cooktop. I use this wok for everything. It stays out all the time, whether I'm sauteeing vegetables or creating a stir fry. Its very heavy, and therefore heats ... Read More
I love this wok
I absolutely love this wok. I use it for everything. Heats perfect. Fast to clean and with the handles I can pick it up easily. It just sits on my stove top and doesn't move.
