Huge wok, works great
I love Asian cooking and for years used a wok that was too small. I finally decided to upgrade, going up a few inches in size, buying me more capacity. I also get faster cooking because of the heavy weight and heat retention. This pan is a workhorse, making me feel like a pro when I’m cooking. I like the wide, flat bottom, it keeps the wok steady and maximizes heat transfer. Flames climb the side beautifully on my gas stove. I can get the whole pot screaming hot to flash fry and the pan stays hot because of the heavy cast iron. The weight is heavy but easy enough to manage with the large, robust handles. I’m not the type to pick up and flip food like a professional chef so I’m not bothered by the extra weight compared to my old stainless pan. I like that this can go from stove top to oven in a pinch, minus the wood lid. The wooden lid it nice to have when I want to steam anything. I like that the lid doesn’t get hot and require a mitt to lift it. The pan functions beautifully, it arrived pre-seasoned for immediate use.

A heavy-duty kitchen workhorse that looks great
When I started using this Bakken wok I was immediately struck by the design as it looks surprisingly chic and rustic with graceful curves. Since it is cast iron it is definitely heavy at nearly nine pounds but the robust dual handles make it manageable to lift and maneuver even when it is full. The flat bottom is a major plus because it sits perfectly steady on my stovetop without wobbling allowing for safe and even heating. It feels like a professional tool that belongs in a kitchen where good food is made often.The performance has been fantastic because the thick cast iron holds heat incredibly well letting me get the pan screaming hot for a proper sear on meat or a quick vegetable stir-fry without scorching. The 14-inch size is spacious enough for family-sized portions meaning I can mix and flip food without overcrowding the pan. I also appreciate the versatility since it works on gas induction and even the grill. The included wooden lid is a thoughtful addition for steaming or keeping food warm and I like that the lid handle stays cool to the touch.While cleaning cast iron requires a bit of care by hand washing and drying thoroughly the pre-seasoned surface released food easily right from the start. It feels like a durable pan that will only improve with time. Whether I am making stir-fries or braises this wok provides that steady and intense heat that other pans just cannot match. It is a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their cookware collection with something substantial and reliable.

Fantastic wok
This wok is fantastic! I would seriously give it more starts if I could. Great for Asian dishes and I even made biscuit chicken pot pie in it.

Beautiful lines
I love cast iron and was excited to find this item. The design looked very chic on line and I was surprised to find when it arrived it was indeed very stylish with graceful curves and a nice casting. And, it cooks well too. My wife does think it is a bit heavy but that is what you get with cast iron.

Heavy
Seems okay to use, but it is so heavy and hard to maintain.Having to season every time you cook is too much work.Cleaning is not as easy as regular pots.
