Key Features

• PFAS-Free Pre-Seasoned Surface: The wok comes fully seasoned at the factory using natural oils, creating a smooth, naturally non-stick cooking surface that seasons further with use—all while remaining completely free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), so you can cook with confidence knowing no harmful chemicals are involved.

• Solid Cast Iron Construction: Built from one piece of durable cast iron, this wok resists warping, cracking, and degradation over time, offering generations of reliable use when properly cared for.

Benefits & Use Cases

This Lodge cast iron wok is engineered for home cooks who value performance, durability, and simplicity. The generous 14-inch diameter accommodates large batches of food—perfect for feeding a family or meal-prepping for the week. Whether you’re tossing spicy chicken and bell peppers, deep-frying tempura, or roasting root vegetables, the wok’s ability to reach and sustain high heat ensures professional-quality results. The dual-loop handle design offers excellent balance and grip, even when the pan is full, reducing strain during transport and flipping.

Thanks to its oven-safe construction, this wok transitions effortlessly from stovetop to oven for finishing techniques like broiling or adding a crispy top layer to casseroles. Unlike non-stick pans that lose effectiveness after repeated use, cast iron seasoning actually improves with time when maintained correctly—building up a natural non-stick patina that lasts for years. And because it contains no PFAS or other synthetic coatings, there’s no risk of toxic fumes if the surface overheats, giving you peace of mind during high-temperature cooking.

Lodge has been manufacturing cast iron cookware in Minnesota since 1896, and every piece undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure consistency and performance. This wok reflects that legacy of American ingenuity and attention to detail, making it a trusted choice for home kitchens, restaurants, and culinary schools alike.

Care & Maintenance Guide

To preserve the seasoning and extend the lifespan of your Lodge cast iron wok, follow these simple care steps:

• Cleaning: After each use, allow the wok to cool slightly, then wash with warm water and a soft sponge or brush. For stubborn residue, use coarse salt as an abrasive—never metal scrubbers that can damage the seasoning.
• Drying: Dry immediately and thoroughly over low heat on the stovetop to evaporate all moisture and prevent rust.
• Seasoning Maintenance: Apply a thin layer of food-safe oil (such as vegetable, flax, or grapeseed) to the entire surface, including the interior and handles, using a cloth or paper towel. Buff off any excess and heat in a 375°F oven for one hour to polymerize the oil.
• Storage: Store in a dry place; avoid stacking heavy pots directly on top to prevent chipping.

While the wok is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is strongly recommended to protect the seasoning and maintain optimal performance over time.
