so many great features to this spun iron wok. it's lightweight, which was a big consideration for me. i have weakness and arthritis in my hands and fingers and wanted something light. which woks are not known for. it's got two handles. so easy to handle! . and it's a great size. as has already been commented upon, it's small. so don't expect a full size wok. this is not it. but it is big enough to cook up a package of tofu and sauce with vegs. there is less surface to clean, less room needed to store, and looks lovely hanging on my pot rack. finally, i am thrilled that this was made by the netherton foundry in the UK. a real company with real people, a family and a history. a win on all fronts. thank you, hawkins, for offering this sweet wok.
