Home VSS Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Wok with Wood Spatula and Lid

Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned, meaning it has a layer of baked-on oil that protects the metal and provides a non-stick surface. You can start cooking with it immediately, though some cooks prefer to add an extra layer of seasoning before the first use.

Yes, this cast iron wok is compatible with induction, gas, and electric coil stoves. Because it is made of cast iron, it will heat up efficiently on induction surfaces, though you should avoid sliding it across the glass to prevent scratching.

No, this wok must be hand-washed. Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high heat that will strip away the seasoning and cause the cast iron to rust.

This wok weighs 8 pounds. While it is sturdy and durable, it is heavier than a standard carbon steel wok, so the dual-handle design is essential for lifting and maneuvering it safely.

Yes, the wok is oven-safe. It is a great tool for finishing dishes that require searing on the stovetop followed by roasting or braising in the oven.

After cooking, wash the wok with warm water and a soft sponge, avoiding soap if possible. Dry it immediately and thoroughly with a towel or on the stove over low heat, then apply a very light coating of oil before storing it to prevent rust.
