All around, everyday great pan for endless cooking! While it looks like a wok, it performs in so many other ways and browns, cooks, frys, etc. Almost nothing you cannot do in this pan! I love the matte black color - that and the grill feature sold me on this. I was not disappointed. Great price for how often you will use this.
This is a super versatile cast iron wok. Don't think of it as just for making stir fry, you can cook almost anything in this pan. The cooling rack comes in very handy when cooking different foods at the same time. The lid fits tightly so you can steam too. Love this pan, it is THE Perfect Pan!
This is such a versatile pan. It looks like a wok but it can do so much more. The cast iron distributes the heat all the way up the sides and it has a wire rack, so it's perfect for deep frying. It has a smooth bottom so it won't scratch my glass cooktop like traditional cast iron.
The mini wok are so cute and adorable, the 6qt. wok are great size but these 4.5qt. makes it so versatile and perfect little things to add in your collections. I love the fact that it has flatter bottom for maximize heat contact for all stove top surfaces.
I just bought this about a month ago and truly love it. It's oven safe up to 500 degrees, but more importantly, its a great Cast Iron Pan. So nice that Staub added a glass cover. Great for browning & saute also.
I bought this pan to fry my beer batter halibut in. Works great because you don't have to use a ton of oil and the wide top and narrow bottom give you plenty of surface space. The cast iron keeps the oil at an even temperature for a perfect fry. The rack works great as a place to drain the cooked fish and keep it warm.
It is like having several pans in one!! I love the rack for holding veggies or meats while I finish cooking. Useful for many jobs!! I have put my wok aside and now use this pan for all my stir fry dishes!! Love it!!
