Lodge Cast Iron Wok

[Kidsgone]

I've used cast iron products since I learned how to cook. I have recently learned that Lodge makes a Wok...anyone have one or used one??? I do alot of stir fry dishes and if this isn't huge like the one I currently have, I would be interested in buying one. I take several pieces in the MH when we travel and would love to add this to my collection!

I have one of the Lodge Woks. Works great.
I usually don't carry it camping.

Self cleaning oven if you have one. Just let the wok and oven go cold before you re season.

I saw a YouTube video. The guy had a Lodge cast iron Hibachi that was trashed. Rusty, greasy, nasty. He took it to a sand blasting place. They put it in a vat of little beads and tumbled it around. It took a couple times, but that iron came out like brand new. Of course it had to be reseasoned, as it took it down to a new surface. He said it cost $20!

i got a Lodge cast iron wok at a tag sale for real cheap, its more like the bayou model farther down the page. I like it real well except the recipe I used in it called for mixing corn starch right in the marinade. I should have known better. Despite the work being well seasoned (twice, by me) it created a thick layer of char on the bottom that I can't scrub off. I need to figure out how to get it off, and re-season.

Dungeness crab season opens this weekend so the burner will be along for the crab anyways, I might as well put the disc wok into action as well.

I love it. It's heavy, of course, but not near as heavy as one would think. It stacks inside one of my cast iron skillets, so storage is not a problem. And it cooks the food so beautifully -- yum.

Personally--I'd avoid it, too heavy to store & lift easily. I have a 12" Lodge skillet and even though I use it often...It's a definite one you must use 2 hands to lift. I have a regular steel wok and use it often, works wonderful, I'd not trade it in for a cast iron wok. Steel woks are most common and practical because they heat up quickly, can be easily handled and you can dump the food out onto a serving plate.

I had one and LOVED it! When my son moved out, I was stupid enough to let him take it and have regretted it ever since. I really need to break down and buy another one.

It was great to get hot, hot, hot and sear the food. A caution to go with that is that it does hold the heat for quite some time, so you need to remove it from the heat before things are completely done. It took a little bit of practice, but was well worth it.

I believe Leo Benson has one and I'm sure when she sees this she can tell you all about them.

We were shopping yesterday and happened to see one in an outdoors shop. I think it is around 14" diameter and around 3 1/2 - 4" deep. Cost around $75 I think hubby say's $85 LOL. I love our fry pans from lodge.
