Review on πŸ₯˜ 14-inch Black Lodge Pro-Logic Wok with Flat Base, Loop Handles by Tyler Blake

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wok material not suitable

On the one hand I can give this product 5 stars because it is exactly what is advertised: a cast iron wok. The quality and construction is excellent, just like any other Lodge pan. On the other hand, it deserves 1 star because Lodge really shouldn't have created this pan. Cast iron is not the best material for a wok. First, it's too heavy to lift and throw the roast with one hand, which is what you need. Second, cast iron retains heat very well, which comes in handy when you're cooking a steak. But woks need to be heated up and cooled down very quickly when switched on and off. So what you really want is a material that doesn't retain heat either. Carbon steel is a much more ideal material for this. With cast iron, the frying temperature cannot be regulated in a jiffy, you have to be able to do that.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • High price
