What customers say
This Lodge cast iron wok earns high praise for its superior thermal performance, especially its excellent heat retention, which is ideal for authentic searing and stir frying.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Lodge Pro-Logic wok features a flat bottom designed specifically to maintain contact and stability on induction, gas, and electric cooktops.
It arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, the natural, easy-release finish will continue to improve and become more non-stick the more you cook with it.
The wok weighs 11.86 lbs, which is substantial due to its durable cast iron construction. It features two assist loop handles, which provide a secure grip, though you should always use oven mitts as the handles will get hot during cooking.
Absolutely. The high walls and excellent heat retention of cast iron make it ideal for deep-frying, while the generous 14-inch diameter provides plenty of space for stir-frying without overcrowding your ingredients.
Hand wash the wok with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh detergents or the dishwasher. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to the surface to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning.
