HOT ! Cast Iron Wok 36cm with Double Handles and Wooden Lid

The Cast Iron Wok 36cm with Double Handles and Wooden Lid is a hand-forged cooking vessel designed for high-heat stir-frying, steaming, and deep-frying — built from seasoned cast iron for superior heat retention and durability. It suits home cooks and professional chefs who cook Asian cuisines or require versatile, heavy-duty cookware. The double handles and wooden lid make it practical for both stovetop and table service.

Cast iron\'s natural heat retention means your ingredients cook evenly and develop deeper flavors. Unlike non-stick coatings that degrade over time, this wok actually improves with use as you build up seasoning layers that create a naturally non-stick surface. It\'s the kind of cookware piece that can last decades, becoming a kitchen heirloom you pass down.

Why This Works For You

The uncoated surface means no synthetic finishes to worry about peeling or breaking down. You control what touches your food, and the seasoning develops from oils you use, creating a personalized non-stick finish. The double-ear design gives you stability and confidence when tossing ingredients or pouring liquids. Works on gas, electric, and induction stovetops, so you\'re not locked into one cooking setup. The included wooden lid lets you braise, steam, or cover dishes without needing separate equipment.

How to Use It

Start with simple stir-fries to build your seasoning. Heat the wok until a drop of water beads and rolls across the surface, then add oil and your ingredients. The curved sides make it easy to push food up the edges while you cook the next batch. Beyond stir-frying, use it for deep frying, braising tough cuts of meat, making soups, or even baking cornbread. The flat or round bottom options let you choose what works best with your stove type. Many cooks keep their wok on the stove permanently because they reach for it constantly.

Technical Specifications

Care & Maintenance

Seasoning a cast iron wok is straightforward. Before first use, wash it with hot water and a stiff brush to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry completely with a towel, then apply a thin layer of neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or grapeseed work well) and wipe away excess. Heat it on the stove until it just begins to smoke, then let it cool. Repeat this process a few times to build your initial seasoning.

For daily cleaning, rinse with hot water immediately after cooking while the wok is still warm. Use a brush or scrubber to remove food, then dry thoroughly with a towel. Never let it air dry, as moisture causes rust. For stubborn stuck-on food, add a bit of coarse salt and scrub with a paper towel. Occasionally season it again by applying a thin oil coat and heating briefly. Avoid soap and dishwashers, which strip seasoning. With proper care, your wok becomes better with age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cast Iron Wok 36cm with Double Handles and Wooden Lid used for?

This wok is designed for stir-frying, steaming, deep-frying, and braising. The 36cm diameter and curved shape distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, making it suitable for high-heat cooking methods common in Asian cuisines and everyday meal preparation. The double handles provide stability and control during cooking and transferring.

Is this wok compatible with all stovetop types?

Cast iron woks work best on gas and electric coil stovetops where the flat base or rounded bottom can sit securely. Flat-bottomed cast iron woks may work on induction cooktops if they have ferromagnetic properties, though this should be verified before purchase. The wooden lid is not suitable for oven use above 180°C.

What comes with the Cast Iron Wok and how should I prepare it before first use?

The set includes the 36cm cast iron wok, double handles, and wooden lid. Before first use, hand-wash it, dry thoroughly, and season the cooking surface with a thin layer of neutral oil heated until it smokes. This creates a non-stick patina and prevents rust during storage and cooking.
