Another advantage of cast iron woks is that they retain and distribute heat exceptionally well. Woks made from some other materials can quickly lose their heat when away from placed away from the stove. The weight and density of cast iron woks, on the other hand, allow them to retain heat exceptionally well which makes them one of the most durable types of woks and perfect for sustained cooking. However, this also means that they take a bit longer to come up to temperature than other woks.
