Chef Collection Wok

Yes, the Lodge Chef Collection Wok is compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops. Because it is made of cast iron, it will heat up effectively on induction surfaces.

While the wok has a rounded profile, it is designed with a flat enough base to sit securely on most standard stovetop grates. A wok ring is not strictly required, but you may find one helpful if you prefer extra stability while tossing ingredients.

This wok comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. You can begin cooking immediately, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve as you use it over time.

This wok is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap if needed, dry it thoroughly immediately after washing, and apply a light coat of oil before storing.

The wok weighs 9.72 pounds. It features a supportive helper handle to assist with lifting and maneuvering, though it is significantly heavier than a traditional carbon steel wok.

Yes, cast iron is extremely durable and can withstand metal spatulas and spoons. The chef-inspired sloped sidewalls are specifically designed to make using these utensils easier when stirring.
