Product Description

A very traditional design that has been used in the Chinese countryside for centuries. Now it is available in the U.S. through the Wok Shop. Round bottom only and 41/2 inches in depth. Small metal handles. Retains heat, cooks evenly, quickly and efficiently and imparts the Chinese "wok hee" (wok flavor). Must be seasoned.http://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/dbwagner/wok/wok.html

Summary: Best Wok So Far 2007-06-28
Comment: In 2004 I was in the San Francisco Bay area on military orders. During a weekend pass a group of us did the tourist thing and visited China Town. I stopped at the Wok Shop and browsed for a few minutes and looked at these thin and light woks but was skeptical. Last fall I ordered the 14 inch cast iron wok from Amazon. It was shipped from the Wok Shop and to my surprise it was the same thin and light wok. Well, I followed the instructions to season it and have been using it since. I used the carbon steel, hand hammered woks; the carbon steel, machine pressed woks and have used the non-stick variety. None compare to this wok.
When you think cast iron you normally think "heavy." This wok is not heavy. In fact it's lighter than both my carbon steel woks. Now that it's seasoned nothing sticks and it adds a certain decorative element to the cook top when not being used. But, it is cast iron so you need to take care of it. Keep it oiled. Don't use soap on it and don't put it in the dishwasher. If something sticks just boil water in it or let it set awhile after you oil it heavy with cooking oil then scrap off the particles. This wok has a round bottom so you will need to order a fire ring. And, a wok chuan (wok spatula) is recommended (I use two).
A note on the Wok Shop: this business has great service. When I visited the shop I was greeted by a friendly sales person and they try their best to match a wok to what your cooking style and experience is. When I ordered this online I received an email from the Wok Shop about a week before I received the item which thanked me for the order and gave me instructions on how to season the wok. When I received the wok it also included a bamboo chuan and recipe book (both bonuses). I recommend both this 14 inch wok and the Wok Shop. If in San Francisco, give them a visit. If not, order from them through Amazon.
