[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great wok for all cooking. Especially great for stir fry vegetables. A must have for every kitchen
Extremely versatile pan. Have used this not only as a wok, but it's a great braiser, deep fryer, and saute pan. Nice deep sides, saves my stove top and oven from splatters. The stainless steel tray fits perfect on the pan, and is a great way to drain deep fried foods, especially donuts, and appetizers. We use this for everyday as well as on special occasions. Terrific purchase.
This wok is great. The cast iron hold temperature very well whick makes it great for any cooking style even frying. The rack hold fried foods to drip and not become soggy before serving. The enamel coating makes it easy to use and maintain. There is no seasoning required and you can use soap to clean it. The matte texture allows oil to get under food to provide even browning, great sears and easy release. The tight fitting lid holds in moisture giving perfect textured foods. I like this larger size as opposed to the perfect pan.
This is a great pot that I use for both stir fry and deep frying. I like using it for deep frying because the cast iron stays hot once it comes up to temperature. It comes with a rack so that I can move the food that is done, but it will stay hot.
All the great features, just sized up to handle volume when you need it.The construction and thoughtfulness in Staub woks is unquestioned. The wide sloping sides where you can posit some ingredients while you cook others is quintessential. The lid is a must have, it allows the few minutes of steaming that gets vegetables crisp tender, and the long minutes of simmering that gets meats braised through. The stainless steel draining rack makes blanching and deep frying so much easier. Finally, the two handles on either side, and the beautiful enamel finish, even this clean matte black, makes it convenient to bring right to the table for everyone to share. Well done!
