What sets the Lodge Small Iron Wok apart

• Its robust construction . This small wok is made of cast iron , without any non-stick coating or toxic elements. This robustness allows you to use any utensil when cooking, even stainless steel ones.
• Its functional design. Its iron construction makes it perfect for cooking on any stove, even on induction. You can also use it directly over the flame of the campfire, fireplace or barbecue. And it is oven-safe.
  
• Its manageability . Even though it is a robust piece, its small size and two handles make the wok very manageable. It has been designed for comfortable, practical and easy use.
  
• Its durability . Being made entirely of cast iron, it is an individual wok that will last you much longer than a lifetime.
• Its excellent relationship between quality and durability and its price . All Lodge cast iron pieces are affordably priced, exceptionally durable and of unquestionable quality.
• Its rough finish . Lodge makes all of its iron cookware in a single piece and in unique sand molds; this gives it its characteristic slightly rough finish on both the interior and exterior surfaces and makes each piece unique and unrepeatable. With use, a patina forms that will eventually create a smooth and naturally non-stick surface.
• Factory seasoning or curing . All Lodge cast iron pieces are factory seasoned or cured so that they are ready to use when you receive them at home . Curing cast iron, called polymerization, involves applying a coating of vegetable oil to the piece and heating it in the oven to a high enough temperature that the oil bonds to the iron. This process gives Lodge cast iron its classic black patina, creating a naturally nonstick cooking surface that is also a protective coating that helps prevent the cookware from rusting.
• Its excellent non-stick properties . Lodge pieces offer a natural non-stick coating, which allows you to cook almost without oil. Plus, the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.
  
• Its excellent temperature retention and uniform heat distribution . Being made of iron, it retains heat excellently for longer, and distributes it evenly. Thanks to the high temperatures that iron reaches, it allows you to seal food with its own juices, maintaining all its flavor. The result is much tastier, like the flavors of always.
  
• Lodge's 125+ years of experience in the manufacture of cast iron parts . Manufacturers since 1896, Lodge is an iconic brand not only in the USA, its country of origin and where all its cast iron products are still manufactured, in the Lodge foundries in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee.

Cooking in a wok requires only allowing it to heat up gradually, so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the piece. You can start cooking when the wok is very hot. To clean it, allow it to cool down first; wash it with a sponge and non-abrasive detergent and lightly oil the inside surface to prevent rust. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to always store it in a dry place.

NOTE: Factory seasoning gives Lodge cast iron pieces a rustic finish with some imperfections, such as a brown mark on the rim, handle or grip. Don't worry! These are small spots where the oil hasn't soaked into the iron, but your piece is safe to use. This is not a defect or rust and will disappear with regular use and care.
