14-inch light weight cast iron wok with glass lid and chain mail

PARTNERED WITH THE BEST: We are a small family business based in the American West. The company we chose to craft our woks traces its origins back 400 years. They received the official seal of Qing Dynasty, are a Jiangsu time-honored brand, and inducted into Wuxi’s intangible cultural heritage list. 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. 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. PREVENT RUST: 1) clean your 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. SPECIFICATIONS: material – cast iron, width 14.25 in, depth 4 in, weight 4 lb 12oz. Preseasoned with vegetable oil. Includes a glass lid and a 6×6 inch chain mail scrubber for cleaning.
