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.

28 years of Stir-frying and this wok is the best!!!
Stir-fry was a weekly event when I was growing up. Mom had the traditional steel wok and when I got my first apartment in college that was my house-warming gift from her. I used that for nearly 20 years. Then I foolishly bought a flat bottom teflon wok and my love of stir-fry diminished as chicken would not stay up on the sides and instead soaked in the oil. This Lodge cast iron wok is a blessing! Thinly cut chicken cooks perfectly and stays up on the sides. Cleans up incredibly easy (no soap). And while solid it's not horribly heavy as I had expected it would be. If you like to stir-fry, you will be very pleased with this wok.

Better Than LeCreuset for 1/4 the price! Best Wok on the market!
I bought mine at the Lodge Outlet store in Tennessee this winter and paid $35.
Before that, I'd scored a LeCreuset 14" wok on ebay. I was heartbroken when it fell off the top of my fridge, broke against the edge of the dishwasher -- and I was nearly broken-footed, too. Buying the LeCreuset wok was the end of 2 years of research and planning. I am a very serious ex-pro caterer, and I don't let junk in my kitchen. Most of my cookware is Chantal or LeCreuset; I like the really good stuff.
I was skeptical that a >$50 wok could stand up to the memory of that beloved piece of cookware -- and now do I feel like a sucker for having spent so much on it in the first place! This wok soaks up heat, is bigger than the LeCreuset, and does a beautiful job of stir and deep frying. It is totally nonstick as long as you use safflower oil and know what you are doing -- I heat the wok for 15 minutes on a high burner, then put in my oil seconds before I put in my prepped food. Cleanup is a snap -- if anything does stick, I just scour it with steel wool -- no useless ceramic or enamel coatings, just cast iron.
Cast iron, seasoned right, will clean easily without soap. If you can't deal with not using soap, go back to using T-Fal nonstick.... NEVER use soap on this pan -- it's a sin against nature. Little pores in the iron bond with oil in the "seasoning" process, and soap ruins them (and gives food a soapy taste if it gets in the pores). This wok's pre-seasoning is really impressive, though I did oil it thoroughly before I used it, because I am a geek.
I would pay $100 for this wok if I had to; the LeCresuet costs $179 at the outlet, $239 reatil. The Amazon price for this one is a steal.
I am also going back to that outlet in Tennessee with more money next time -- Lodge has an enameled line of cookware that's pretty -- but I'm a convert to real cast iron.
PS I also bought their 2 burner griddle at Target -- again, why buy LeCreuset's for 3 times the price? Griddles can warp over time, no matter how nice they are, so I didn't want to pay that much. The Lodge product is comparable to superior!
