Product Description
This stylish Volcanic Wok from Le Creuset is the ultimate in cooking equipment. Ideal for cooking stir-fries, curries and noodles, this versatile product can also cook a great casserole. Made from cast iron, it heats up to incredibly high temperatures and retains that heat for long periods of time. Available in a range of other colours, this wok features cast handles, a toughened-glass lid with Phenolic knob and an enamelled exterior. The inside of the wok has been left untreated, and will form its own 'patina' over a period of time

 The best and last wok you will ever need!!! March 1, 2006

I’ve cooked with woks for years; most you find are either Teflon coated steel or Carbon Steel. I never find that Teflon lasts very long and you have to be careful not to cook anything too acidic (curries) in Carbon Steel, both types are usually made from thin metal so heat retention and distribution is typically poor. These types no matter their cost also generally have flat internal bottoms so you need to use more oil. What a difference the Le Creuset wok makes; while the outside of the bottom is flat to sit on the stovetop the inside is concave so you need very little oil to cook. Because its cast iron you can cook anything you want in it, at virtually any temperature. The wok is very large and sufficiently shallow angled to allow you to push food up the side to cook more slowly while moving whatever you need to into the hotter centre; this is great when cooking meats. Its cast iron construction means its heat distribution and retention properties are excellent as is its durability, I genuinely believe this is the last wok I will ever need to purchase.
Exactly as you'd expect - perfect January 31, 2005

This is my 4th Le Creuset item and I was not at all surprised to find that it is perfect in every way.Heat distribution is excellent, its huge, the lid is great and the inside cleans really easily. It is heavy however [what do you expect from cast iron?] so won't be ideal for some people. The only issue I have is where to store it!

I use my Le Creuset wok so much it has hardly seen the inside of my cupboards! It cooks brilliantly. The surface is ideal for stir frying, and so much more. I cook all sorts in my wok, from chinese food to soups and curries. Its well worth the initial investment. Its such a solid, substantial piece of equipment, I know it is going to last me years. The glass lid is really useful. If you are looking for a wok, buy this one and I'm sure you'll never regret it!

Recieved the Le Creuset wok for Christmas from my Parents. Having owned a few Le Creuset pans and adding to them as and when I can afford to I mentioned I wanted the wok. When I recieved it I was suprised by the Size! Its big enough to cook a dish for my family of 5 and a few extra kids for tea. The only down side I have is the weight and where I store it on a top shelf! Shouldn't be an issue when I get my new kitchen and additional storage space. I've used it for stir frys and for deep frying banana fritters or samosas. It cleans up well, only needing a wipe on some occassions with kitchen paper.The lid is especially useful if cooking in advance and covering up until ready to serve. The woks also useful to serve dishes in at the table as long as its on a heatproof surface- the kids just help themselves to how much they want.I would recommend this wok to anyone considering buying a wok as it will last a life time and will never go out of fashion.
