Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Bar-B-Q Cast-Iron Wok
Customer Review: Fantastic Wok
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm extremely happy with this purchase. At first glance, I wasn't impressed with the appearance of the wok. The edges were not smooth and uneven. Also, the weight of the wok wasn't what I expected (lighter than I thought, but turned out to be better). Overall, I thought the wok was not well made. With an open mind, I washed the wok with hot soapy water using a plastic brush. Then, I thoroughly dried the wok. I lightly coated the wok with some grapeseed oil with a paper towel. I baked the wok in the oven at 250 degree for about 4 hours. After taking the wok out of the oven, I placed it on an electric stove at high heat and pored some peanut oil (any vegetable oil is fine)when the wok was really hot. I threw some roughly chopped Chinese chives in to the wok and stirred them around it in order to minimize the new wok odor. This is a tip that I learned from a Chinese lady. If Chinese chives are not available, then green onion, ginger, and crushed garlic will do as well. Anyway, after all these, I used a paper towel to wipe the wok and put the wok back into the oven for another 2 hours at 250 degree again. I'll tell you the wok came out just perfect. This evening, I decided to cook some Chinese dishes. I made fried eggs with scallion, ung choi and pak choi with shrimp in black bean sauce, and chow min with vegetables. Despite my concern with the weak heat due to my electric stove, the wok heated up so quickly and very evenly at high heat. Thanks to the seasoning procedure, the wok was completely stick-free even with the soft chow min. Usually, I have to use three different pans to make three different dishes, but with this awesome wok, I was able to finish cooking in about 30 minutes excluding the prep time for the ingredients (took about 10 minutes). It was amazing actually. Then, I pored some hot water into the wok and let it sit for about 6 minutes. I used the brush to clean up the left over food and rinsed the wok with hot water. That's it. It was so convenient. In order to prevent rust, I dried the wok on the stove at low heat with a paper towel and sprayed some Pam oil. I wiped the oil all around the wok with a paper towel and put it away for the next use. This may sound complicated and long. It was absolutely easy, though. Besides, I only used one pan or wok. I'm sure that I'll be using this wok a lot. By the way, I own a 12" Lodge pan and a 11" Lodge grill pan. Mr. Bar.B.Q cast iron wok is as good as the Lodge cast iron pans. If you are looking to buy a cast iron or any kind of wok, then I strongly recommend Mr. Bar.B.Q wok. You'll be surprised how efficient the wok is. Two thumps up!
Description of Mr. Bar-B-Q Cast-Iron Wok
Cast iron wok, the very best in gourmet cooking. This will be cooking at it's finestMuch heavier than traditional steel woks, this solid cast-iron wok absorbs and retains heat at the high temperatures needed for superior stir-fry cooking. A flat bottom sits the wok securely on a stovetop, gas grill, or charcoal grill, while two loop handles allow for safe lifting with oven mitts. The wok measures 14 inches in diameter (17 inches with handles), and 4 inches deep--generous enough for a family-size meal.
The wok must be seasoned before first use to create a nonstick patina that also helps prevent rusting. After washing, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat the wok for one hour. While the wok can be seasoned on a grill, an oven works best. Instructions for the seasoning process are included with the wok. After subsequent use, the wok should be washed by hand and dried before storing. Mr. Bar-B-Q covers the wok with a five-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
