For chefs and cooks who really want the authentic wok experience, we love 100% light cast iron woks. They heat up fast, retain heat, and can get super hot, similar to Western style cast iron pans. Light cast iron is very thin, making it incredibly light. But, because they are thin, the light cast iron pans are more fragile and brittle (don’t ever drop one on tile floors!) They are also a little finicky to care for, requiring immediate cleaning, hand-drying, heating and a wipe of cooking oil to keep it from rusting.
