The high, rounded sides of a cooking wok create different heating zones; from intense conduction at the bottom to flame-singing at the top. Our Prospector-Handled Spun Iron Wok utilizes the thinner metal that is essential to wok cooking, and the curved base and walls that bring heat and flame high up the sides. This round-bottom wok also features a pair of riveted handles instead of a traditional version's single handle, making it ideal for carrying or for oven use.
Spun iron is formed by spinning a disc of hot iron on a lathe. The result is generally half the weight of cast iron. It heats quickly, holds heat beautifully, and is nearly indestructible, making it something you'll want to pass down from generation to generation. Pre-seasoned with flax oil, it will season further the more you use it, eventually developing a virtually non-stick surface. Made in Shropshire, England. Measures 13 1/2'' Diameter x 4'' Deep.
