Premium 14-Inch Lightweight Cast Iron Wok with Glass Lid and Chain Mail Scrubber

About this item

• PREVENT RUST: 1) clean your cast iron wok, wipe it down to remove all water, and apply a light coat of oil right after usage; 2) clean with the included chain mail and warm water rather than a soapy sponge. Soap removes seasoning, although a small amount of soap is ok when necessary after you have a hard layer of seasoning; 3) never allow your wok to sit with liquid in it. Iron is highly reactive and will rust unless it has sufficient seasoning.
• PREMIUM MATERIALS: removable American oak handle makes oven seasoning easy. Only the best natural raw materials are chosen: high-quality grey iron, purple mud from Hui Mountain for the mold, rice husk ash from Lake Tai to strengthen the mold, and pinewood from Wuyi Mountain used in the mold release process.
• COLLABORATING WITH TOP ARTISANS: We are a tight-knit family-owned enterprise located in the western United States. The artisans we selected to produce our woks have a rich history that spans 400 years. They hold the prestigious seal of the Qing Dynasty, are recognized as a time-honored brand from Jiangsu, and have been included in Wuxi’s intangible cultural heritage roster.
• SPECIFICATIONS: material – cast iron, flat bottom, width 14.25 in, depth 4 in, weight 4 lb 12oz. Preseasoned with vegetable oil. Includes a glass lid and a 6x6 inch chain mail scrubber for cleaning.
• LIGHTWEIGHT CAST IRON: our flat bottom cast iron wok is thinner and lighter than American-made cast iron skillets. It is similar in weight to a 2mm thick carbon steel wok – around 4 lbs 12oz. The Chinese process for making cast iron woks uses a traditional casting process that creates a relatively thin and strong wok. Cast iron provides superior heat retention.
