Product Description
This stylish Volcanic Wok from Le Creuset is the ultimate in cooking equipment. Ideal for cooking stir-fries, curries and noodles, this versatile product can also cook a great casserole. Made from cast iron, it heats up to incredibly high temperatures and retains that heat for long periods of time. Available in a range of other colours, this wok features cast handles, a toughened-glass lid with Phenolic knob and an enamelled exterior. The inside of the wok has been left untreated, and will form its own 'patina' over a period of time

 Le Creuset enamelled 36 cm CAST IRON WOK March 10, 2008

with side handles and a glass lid.
Sturdy, functional design and attractive enough to take to the table!
Large flat base, for maximum and even heat distribution, making it easy to move ingredients around and possibly store some against the rounded sides, for e.g. meat to prevent overcooking.
Stir-frying/braising/steaming/poaching on any heat source, including induction.
Recipe leaflet included - although limited this does give you a start if new to this version of healthy cooking!
The classic rounded interior is ideal for stir frying and my favourite recipe using my Wok is a handed-down version of a `Prawn and Vegetable Stir Fry', but there is a useful section entitled:-
`Woks and Moroccan Tagines'
in the book:-
`The Cast Iron Way to Cook', by Sue Cutts,
one of Le Creuset's consultants, which gives a guide to the use of the Le Creuset Wok, as well as some delicious recipes, including :-
`Peppered Pork Stir-Fry'
and
`Braised Orange Duck'
Available in a variety of colours, at Amazon, today, some at great prices!
 The perfect wok? March 7, 2008

Although quite pricey, this is a wonderful, versatile pan to own. I use it frequently for stir-fry cooking with consistently good results. It's so easy to put ingredients to the side while frying other ingredients, then mix them together. This pan is a perfect fit on my electric hob - the base is exactly the same diameter as the small ring, thus optimising the heat distribution. Also, it's fun to use! So, dig deep into your wallet and get wokking!

Recieved the Le Creuset wok for Christmas from my Parents. Having owned a few Le Creuset pans and adding to them as and when I can afford to I mentioned I wanted the wok. When I recieved it I was suprised by the Size! Its big enough to cook a dish for my family of 5 and a few extra kids for tea. The only down side I have is the weight and where I store it on a top shelf! Shouldn't be an issue when I get my new kitchen and additional storage space. I've used it for stir frys and for deep frying banana fritters or samosas. It cleans up well, only needing a wipe on some occassions with kitchen paper.The lid is especially useful if cooking in advance and covering up until ready to serve. The woks also useful to serve dishes in at the table as long as its on a heatproof surface- the kids just help themselves to how much they want.I would recommend this wok to anyone considering buying a wok as it will last a life time and will never go out of fashion.
Exactly as you'd expect - perfect January 31, 2005

This is my 4th Le Creuset item and I was not at all surprised to find that it is perfect in every way.Heat distribution is excellent, its huge, the lid is great and the inside cleans really easily. It is heavy however [what do you expect from cast iron?] so won't be ideal for some people. The only issue I have is where to store it!
Great if your cooker is hot enough! September 17, 2004

If you have an Aga, a Rayburn or even a halogen hob then forget trying to use this wok, as you will never get it hot enough to stir fry on. You will simply warm your food up to a slow simmer instead. The base of this wok has a very small 'footprint' in contact with the heat source, so it needs a serious amount of concentrated heat to get it going. On the other hand, if you have a decent gas, electric or induction hob then the world is your oyster.
If you can get enough heat under this wok then it's awesome. But if you can't then prepare to be disappointed.
