Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was not sure this wok would measure up to my standards of Chinese cooking. I have two other traditional Chinese steel woks that I use a lot. But, what I found with this wok is that, even though the heat source doesn't have to be on high, the mass of iron in this wok generated much more heat and my Chinese dishes came out fantastically. I have been totally shocked at how this wok performed.
The surface needs to be gently seasoned, as do the surfaces of Le Creuset's grill pans, but, once that is done, food rarely sticks to it (or, the grill pans). I usually let some water soak in the pan after I've taken the food out, and after that, stuck-on food easily come off. I highly recommend this pan.

Originally conceived to rest over a Chinese pit-style stove, the wok has been a staple of East Asian cuisine for centuries. While typically used for stir frying, woks can also be used for a variety of cooking techniques including braising, steaming, and stewing. Inspired by authentic Chinese woks, this versatile wok, which measures approximately 14-1/4 inches wide, comes perfectly weight-balanced with a flat base for stability, gently sloping sides, and a smooth, concave interior that helps ensure efficient stir-frying of broccoli, peppers, onion, tofu, and other fresh ingredients.
As part of Le Creuset's line of enameled cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its inside surface offers a durable black enamel finish (no seasoning required). As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the unit cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. Two loop cast-iron side handles help ensure safe transport and a steady grip even when wearing oven mitts, and the unit's tight-fitting glass lid locks in heat and moisture while cooking. The lid's phenolic knob withstands heat up to 350 degrees F, and the vessel can be safely used on any stovetop, including induction. Though dishwasher-safe, the cookware should be hand washed for best results.
