How Le Creuset’s wok helped us with the recipe?
The cast iron nature of the wok gives it a very even heat distribution and the frying is super quick.
Due to the structure of the wok, it uses a lot less oil to cook things up.
Do remember, it’s a cast iron product. So you won’t be able to bounce it around much. Do try stirring continuously so that nothing sticks to the bottom.
The base is flattened from beneath while the interior stays rounded giving you stability.
Although cast iron products usually require seasoning with some oil and being heated, this works instantaneously.
Le Creuset offers lifetime warranty on the product.
