CuisinartCCW-800, Pre-seasoned Cast Iron Grilling Wok, 10"

this does not appear to be the same high quality of say any Lodge Cast Iron pan. the surface is kind of rough in comparison. however, it works fine as a balti pan for Indian food. you can sir fry with it, but it is sort of small, so more of a pan for one or two servings, or to make a side dish, or if using a few smaller woks to cook components of a dish. It has its uses, but if you need a wok to make a large stir fry dish, maybe try a larger more traditional wok. this pan is rather shallow, more like a braising pan in shape. the pan is not exactly flat on the inside, and not as rounded as a wok from Lodge. but it will work in a pinch, and can easily fit on the stove top while other pans are being used as well. This is intended to be more of a wok to be used on a bbq grill, which it certainly would work well in that case, and having a smaller wok does come in handy. if space is an issue you can also use it to grill a burger or two on the stove, so it could be used for all sorts of things. This retains heat well, is not very heavy. update a year later - i now use this all the time. i have been making stir fry dishes, braising, frying, all sorts of cooking really. it's a great size for a smaller household, not too heavy but still heavy duty. the rough surface has not been an issue and now the patina has built up so it isn't all that rough anyway. i really love this pan and will probably get a second one soon.

What a great find! Anyone looking to shallow fry small items like falafel, fries, Samosas, etc I think it's wonderful for that. I got this because I love cast iron cooking and will add it to my collection! This review is for the 10" flat bottom wok. It works great on my electric stove. Came preseason but good to do a light wash with warm water and any a layer of your own seasoning. Can't wait to make stews and curries on this! I wish it came with a lid but I have tons of kids at home so no biggie. Get this if you love cast iron, need it for stews a small rice dishes and shallow frying!

This work is great and will last a lifetime. Not very large but extremely well made.

Very small if you have a small family, good quality

Works great for veggies on the BBQ or woking it up on an invection plate.

It’s very heavy and RUST!!!! Wish I can return it. I was hospital and I never used when I bought it.And first time trying to use it. It has Rust. I can’t make food .

This has become my most used cookware. The wok design is versatile in my opinion (if you understand a little about wok cooking). What I especially like about it is that since it's higher/taller than a typical pan, you don't get much if any grease/oil splatter on the stove. So less clean up... If you know how to season and care for cast iron cookware, then it's easy to clean and maintain. Plus seasoned cast iron is great for flavor and even cooking.

I love this wok and it is now my go-to pot for saute. It is heavy and difficult to dish your meal from. With a wok you typically tip it over and scrape out the meal with a wooden spoon but doing so with this wok is a handful. This is not something that can or should be fixed though. You just have to adapt your cooking technique. I carry it to the sink after plating and spray it out while it's at max heat for an easy clean--ready to go for the next dish. A silicone mit or potholder helps a lot.
