Nice Wok......

Nice Wok! This is the size I was looking for. Light weight for cast Iron. I did not use yet, however I washed and conditioned it.

this is NOT cast iron- less than 1 month and the black "paint" is flaking. update: threw it away

Maybe the good folks at Jim beam had a few jim beams and decided to call this "cast iron"- but this is NOT cast iron. at least not the cast iron that i know from lodge and other makers. what you see in the video is a wok that has been unpackaged about 1 month from making the video-and it already looks quite bad I have seasoned it cause the finish looked suspicious the moment i opened the package (no stranger to cast iron myself- great stuff, seasoning always recommended) and after less than 1 month and 2 meals- it is starting to chip....into my food i guess. Surface rust is also evident though the wok has been seasoned and re-seasoned. I would not buy this because if it is already chipping after being well taken care of- things can only go downhill from here. and also food sticks quite badly. It will soon find its place in the bin because i do not want chips of paint in my food. I do not know what material this wok is made from but when i think about it....it is also heavy- so i cant stir fry ... and i guess it would be fine weight wise if it was cast iron. but if the cast iron "finish" has started to chip then i guess it is not cast iron-or a very cheap type of cast iron at that. It is a waste of my money - heck i would have used it as a conversation piece but the "Jim beam" logo is stamepd on the bottom. lesson learned. Update 21.12.2023: After 2 years i decided to give it onother go: seasoned it again, cleaned it. went camping. It was great until my buddy asked "why is the food black?". much like other reviewers, I found that this pan leaves a thick coal like residue on the food, no matter how many times you clean it, season it, It is disgusting. threw it away today. gonna buy a lodge.
