This is the best lil wok I’ve purchased. I’ve got two other outdoor plow disc I use for large groups and this wok is just amazing and has held up really well for the past two years. Highly recommend!!!
This might be the single best pan that I’ve ever owned — and I’ve owned quite a few over the years.
I must admit, this is my first cast iron pan. I made the switch after the big names in the non-stick pan arena disappointed me by losing their durability and non-stick properties after a couple of months’ use.
I’ve abused the Uno Casa Cast Iron Wok Pan with the highest heat on the stove and was surprised by how well it has held in over half a year that I’ve owned it. The non-stick properties are stellar.
However, I make sure to drive out moisture by heating the empty pan after every wash and season it every now and then. If you’re willing to keep up with that maintenance schedule, this pan will work like a charm!
Excellent design especially with a decent lid.
Cannot beat Lodge cast iron though
Bought this as a Karahi (it has a flat bottom) as I enjoy cooking Indian dishes. My previous steel wok had seen better days after thousands of curries over the years and I needed a replacement. What’s important to know is that you have to IGNORE the reviews which mention rust. These are left by people who aren’t familiar with using cast iron cookware. You can’t just shove it on the hob, use it, bung it in the dishwasher and be done. For a start, I didn’t know how good the pre-seasoning was, so I washed the pan on hot water and soap before drying it and applying (by hand and with fingers) a coating of grapeseed oil. It then went in the oven at 210 degrees for 30 minutes before the oven was turned off with the pan still inside. I did this three times before cooking in it for the first time. It’s as good as any quality non stick coating now and just requires a two minute soak in hot water and rinse round to make it sparkling again. I suspect people simple aren’t taking the time and effort required to properly season their pan. After washing, dry the pan thoroughly and place on the burner to warm through – this dries it completely. I then add (again using fingers) a thin layer of grapeseed or similar high smoke point oil to the surface, before putting the (excellent) glass and silicone lid back on for storage. I’m sure you COULD skip this last bit, but making sure it’s 100% dry and away from moisture is the key to preventing rust, that and proper seasoning. Verdict? It’s heavy. It’s good. Very good. Buy it.

Nachdem wir uns an die Aufwrmzeit gewhnt haben, mchten wir Pfannen, Tpfe und auch diesen Wok nicht mehr missen.
Wichtig! Gut Einbrenne
Besser gehts nicht, mehrfach damit gekocht und sind jedesmal aufs Neue von diesem Topf begeistert! So macht WOK-Kochen spa!!!
La wok funziona molto bene. Ho sbagliato la misura. ho preso quella con diametro 35 cm pensando fosse pi piccolina. Invece molto grande e di difficile gestione per lavaggio, trovargli lo spazio in cucina. Attualmente finita nel forno…..Valutate bene la dimensione quando comprate
Alles wie versprochen. Macht Spa darin zu kochen.
Vernnftiges Preis-Leistungsverhltnis.
Beautiful wok with nice glass lid.
Cast iron like this item appears to work really well for people with higher fat diets, where lots of animal products, oils, butter, lard, etc. are used in their cooking to keep the cast iron well-greased,
Unfortunately, I cook mostly plant-based meals with very low amounts of oil and fat added, so this item did not work out for me- I’m going back to non-stick pans.
I want to emphasize that you have to add a LOT of cooking oil (or lard, butter, fatty meat, etc.) while cooking to cast iron. If you do not, the bottom of the wok just builds up a thick brown burnt crust, with the little burnt brown bits stick to your food
Photos: Photos are of the wok-cooked foods, wok after cooking with the crusted/burnt food described, and the wok after I did the after-cleaning steps.
Care Background: I followed the instructions given to initially season it l, and repeated the steps 2 times. Since then, I have also cooked food in it 3 additional times. After every use I follow the given instructions cleaning it, drying it out fully in oven, and putting a coat of oil on it after use. It’s a lot of extra effort and the hot oil smell is pungent.
I have used a large seasoned spun steel wok for years and this cast iron size is so much better! Sits on my glas cook top and warms up perfect, then high remp to cook! Love it!
It is preseasoned but it actually still need some season to actually make it nonstick. After frying chicken and bacon with it serval time, it become shiny and non-stick. So overall, it is a good castiron wok, worth the purchase.
Materiale pesante ma per questo molto resistente. Antigraffio, si riscalda velocemente e con un bellissimo coperchio in vetro, con guarnizione e valvola
can cook a large amount of food at once, non-stick,but it’s heavy .
Sehr schner Wok, alles wie beschrieben. Er rostet in der Tat sehr schnell, wenn man ihn nicht direkt nach der Reinigung mit etwas l benetzt. Das wurde aber vorab in der Beschreibung erwhnt.
Empfehlenswert.
Die Pfanne braucht lnger als eine gewhnliche Pfanne zum hei werden – klar, sie ist um einiges dicker. Das Gewicht ist stattlich!
Praktisch ist der groe mitgelieferte Deckel!
Kochen mit Induktion und Kochmatte. Funktioniert einwandfrei.
Vorsicht, Kratzer auf dem Kochfeld drohen, deshalb einen Punkt Abzug.
Great wok. Nice and heavy. Does the job. Nice lid, although I haven’t used it yet.
Well packaged.
