Customer Reviews of Mr. Bar-B-Q Cast-Iron Wok
Customer Rating:   Summary: Great wok Comment: I read all the warnings about broken woks, but I ordered anyway. Sure enough, it arrived at my door in two big pieces. However, Amazon is run the way you wish all companies were run. In less than 15 minutes I had the thing boxed up and labeled for a free trip back to Amazon. By the end of the week, I had my new wok, in one piece. That's service! I had a devil of a time getting the factory coating off the thing. I ended up burning the heck out it in my outdoor BBQ. I highly recommend that method btw. Then I washed it thoroughly, and boiled water in it to really clean it up. Now it's on it's way to being well-seasoned. This thing is a really big chunk of cast iron and it gets HOT, which is great for stir-frying. I'd give it a five, except that it's not perfectly round on the bottom, though it's very close. But for the price, I'm very happy with it. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Wok I Own Comment: This Wok is one of the top 5 items in my kitchen - fabulous! No problems with shipping, cleaning, or seasoning! Chow Customer Rating: Summary: Great Wok Comment: I love the cast iron wok. It cleans up easily and cooks like a dream. Customer Rating: Summary: Still a wok in progress Comment: I really like this wok, but it's going to take a while to get it to the seasoning stage I want and keep it there. It sure beats the old, thin metal wok I used for years. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice wok, bad packaging Comment: First wok arrived broken into 3 pieces. This is actually the second cast iron object that UPS managed to shatter into pieces on me, the first being a subwoofer with a cast iron basket. You know how Amazon always totally overdoes it on the packaging, with a box 3 times bigger than the item and stuffed full of air bags? Well, these woks seem to have been packaged by a kid.. the wok is thrown into a box barely big enough for it, atop of some crumpled paper. I dont get it. Second wok arrived packed the same way, but not broken. Seasoned well, cooked well. Only used it once but it seems really nice. Bottom is flat for stability but curved inside so holds heat nicely. You will definitely want a big flame for this, I am using the Bayou Classic propane burner I bought on Amazon a year ago. So for the money, this is a really great wok, just dont be surprised if it arrives broken. More Reviews Who says you can't enjoy your favorite stir-fry dish on the grill? Instead of cooking indoors, cook out using this wok. It's made of cast iron so it heats up evenly and stays hot for those flash-fry meals. Create an all-veggie dish or add something creative to the mix like barbecue chicken or marinated prawns. Two side handles are wide, offering enough room for grabbing even with cooking mitts on. Flat-bottomed, however not recommended for ceramic-top stoves. 
Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
