 Great wok January 19, 2007
K. L. Gallaher (Bartlesville, OK USA)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have used this wok on a flat top range for 6 months now - it is great. Does not stick, easy to clean, nice to look at. It is large so I hang it on a dual coat hook in the kitchen - which works great....
 Broken Handle November 8, 2006

When we received this beautiful wok we opened the box and the handle was broken...it was laying next to the wok.We sent it back and asked for a replacement but they were out of the color 'flame' at that time so we just got a refund.
There must be some type of weakness in the handles on these woks...So beware.
 A Chinese-Styled Wok with French Characteristics August 31, 2006
Bill (Los Angeles, CA, USA)

Le Creuset made a decent effort in making a cast iron Chinese-styled wok. It looks like a Chinese wok, and it is made of iron, but essentially it is not Chinese.
The wok is much thicker than a Chinese iron wok, and therefore takes much longer time to warm up. Some American users praised the wok by saying it does not need much fire, yet the essence of Chinese stir-frying is cooking through large fire: one heats a thin Chinese carbon iron wok with large fire, puts in vegetable or animal oil, and then does the entire stir frying in less than a few minutes.
Still, I liked the wok after purchasing it. The Chinese food here in the US usually is not really Chinese food in essence, but people like it. Why should I be so critial to a French cast iron wok which looks like a Chinese wok?
Cast iron is the best! April 8, 2006

Cast iron is by far the best way to cook, and Le Creuset overall does increadible job. But you need to really know your cast iron. It doesn't need very high temperatures and doesn't like sudden changes from heat to cold. If you remember this - there will be no cracks and a lifetime of fun and joy in the kitchen.
So far, so good March 29, 2006

I have not seen a crack in the handle of my new wok, but I am keeping my eyes open. In the meantime, I have used the wok to cook a couple of meals. Keeping with the fine Le Creuset tradition of fabulous cookware, the wok cooks beautifully. I have read elsewhere that high stovetop temperatures may compromise the cast iron, so I keep the heat to medium to medium-high. The cast iron retains heat beautifully, so you won't need high heat to cook. I give the wok five stars so far. If the handle cracks, it's back to Williams-Sonoma for another.
