Unlike thinner local pans that can develop hot spots, this wok ensures consistent results, from searing vegetables to cooking curries. The naturally nonstick surface, achieved through vegetable oil seasoning, means less sticking and easier cleanup, even with sticky ingredients. This wok is designed to withstand the demands of daily Indian cooking, promising durability and performance that lasts for generations. **Ideal for Home Cooks & Enthusiasts** — This 14-inch wok is perfect for families and home cooks who appreciate quality cookware. Its generous size accommodates larger batches, ideal for preparing meals for gatherings. While it excels at stir-frying, its versatility extends to popcorn, roasts, and more. If you prefer lighter, non-stick pans for everyday use or have a sensitive cooktop that cannot handle heavy cast iron, consider a lighter-weight stainless steel or hard-anodized aluminum alternative. This Lodge wok is best suited for those who value durability, heat performance, and a naturally seasoned cooking surface. ## How to use 1. Hand wash the wok with mild soap and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin, even layer of vegetable oil all over the wok, inside and out. Place it upside down on the middle rack of your oven with a baking sheet on the bottom rack, and bake at 500°F (260°C) for one hour. Let it cool completely in the oven. — Initial Seasoning 2. Preheat the wok gradually over medium heat on your gas, induction, or glass-top stove. Add a small amount of cooking oil once preheated. Add your ingredients and cook, stirring as needed. For best results, avoid cooking highly acidic foods like tomatoes or vinegar for extended periods, especially when the seasoning is new. — Cooking 3. After cooking, hand wash the wok with hot water and a stiff brush or scraper if needed. Avoid dish soap and metal scouring pads, as they can strip the seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Apply a very thin coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface and exterior while the pan is still warm, then wipe off any excess. — Cleaning and Maintenance ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Seasoning | Vegetable Oil | | Coating | Natural Seasoning | | PFOA/PTFE Free | Yes | | Cooking Surfaces | Gas, Induction, Glass-top, Grill, Live Fire | | Oven Safe | Up to 500°F (260°C) | | Dishwasher Safe | No | | Metal Utensil Safe | Yes | | Care Instructions | Hand wash, dry thoroughly, rub with oil | | Cost per use | 14 inch wok at 1 use/day = ₹14,470 per wok per use | | Shelf life after opening | Indefinite (with proper care) | | Brand | Lodge | | Model Name | P14WPLT | | Material | Cast Iron | | Color | Black | | Pattern | Wok | | Diameter | 35.56 cm (14 inches) | | Capacity | 3.0 L (101.4 Fl Oz) | | Weight | 5.81 kg (12.8 lbs) | | Handle Material | Cast Iron | | Country of Origin | Made in USA | ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this Lodge cast iron wok safe for Indian induction cooktops?
