Recently, Lodge released a smaller, cheaper 9-inch wok for about $30. I have it on my wish list. It would be perfect for me since I'm a one-person household and I'm not cooking for a crowd.
They had one of these on the factory 2nds section the other day and I said that would be great for popcorn. 😂 My sister said to me who buys a wok to make popcorn in? I'm sending her this video 😂 I always use coconut oil to pop my popcorn. Gives it a good flavor.
I love my @LodgeCastIron wok... it may be the most versatile piece of cast iron cookware I own. Mine is probably 25+\-years old... a Christmas gift from my father. 👍🏻
We don't own a wok of any kind. However, popcorn brings fond memories. When kids running around, playing outdoors with friends toward the end of the day, at times the wonderful scent of popcorn would catch our attention. This could mean only ONE thing. We were going to a drive-in movie! Dad had enough money to get us in, but not enough for snacks n drinks. 2 grocery bags of popcorn, and a 2 gallon drink cooler full of Kool aid, Mom, Me, and my 2 brothers and off we'd go! Still love that smell. 😀
@@MrCastIron I have that same lodge wok, I’ve got a 12” CI wok, a 13” stainless tri ply with lid, and a 13” carbon steel with lid..and I use mostly coconut oil ( extra virgin cold pressed organic from Sam’s club) for breakfast every day and in the wok, and if I don’t want that flavor, I use grape seed or avocado oil.
RickyEeeee D, PICIC!!! Gdmorng. Since I drug it out,,, ima burn in it today. I love my WOK too. Ima do gumbo for 2moro so I'll do my saute'd veggies in it.
Awwwww MAAAANE Luvvvv!!! Gdmorng Mr. & Mrs. CI. I am soooo glad it was WOK day. I been meaning to go check mine & pause this. Shonuff,,, I immediately grabbed & turned on da oven. Lil biddy specks was appearing. Thaaaank y'all. I love my WOK & my lil 9MW. Lovvvve!!!
@@MrCastIron I love that thing. I made two vids on it. It’s been around for a long time. I also use coconut popcorn oil and Flavacol popcorn salt. Comes yellow and taste like movie theater popcorn.
Nice! I have been enjoying a lot of popcorn as of late, and did a video making it in my NINJA Foodi 14 in 1 cooker. I was looking at the Lodge woks the other day, I like them! Great video Mike!
Brewers yeast...ha! I forgot all about that! We used to throw that on home-popped corn all the time. You just dated yourself old timer! Thanks for reminding me.
For popcorn, it has to be hot enough for the oil to make the kernels pop! I preheated the wok on medium-high heat until it was ready to add them. That's why I tested 3 kernels before adding all of them.
I only cook steaks soaked in dales seasoning overnight then on grill never on stove never coals only wood. Rib eyes with lots of marble inch half thick good rounded cuts love video knowledge

Yeah, I thought about buying it, too, but I didn’t, lol!

Lol! That’s too funny Chastity!! We’ll show her won’t we!!?? 🤣🤣 And yes the coconut oil gave it a great flavor too. Teresa cooks her eggs in it.

Wow! That’s cool! Thanks for checking it out my friend!

It izzz & your blessed with such an heirloom gem❤
That’s cool Chris!! I’m sure it’s had a good bit of awesome grub cooked in it too! What’s your favorite thing to make in your wok!?
The lodge 15 inch glass lid fits perfect on the wok
That wok is amazing Mike! Another item for my wish list 😊 Hot buttered popcorn is one of life's great pleasures 😋🍿
It’s also one of life’s SIMPLE pleasures, lol, so much bang for the buck, and no need for culinary school or a laundry list of exotic ingredients 🤣🤣
Lol! That’s right Pete! If I keep suggesting cast iron to you like this, you might go broke and I’ll feel bad! 🤣🤣💰💰
@@rstumbaugh43 I concur Rick 😋
@@MrCastIron I'm already broke mate, that's why I have learned to love the simple things 🤣
Yeah, I’m a simple kind of guy, too, Pete! Even more so since I’ve had some of the diagnoses’ that I have received lately.

Lol the Chinese actually invented cast iron cookware, including the wok, over 1000 years ago. Lodge, also makes a 12” long handle chefs wok.
I Love making popcorn in my lodge wok!!
Boy, it sure does a good job doesn't it Rick?
@@MrCastIron no doubt!! I have a universal wok lid I got from Amazon, works great!
That’s cool Rick! What size wok do you have?
@@MrCastIron I have that same lodge wok, I’ve got a 12” CI wok, a 13” stainless tri ply with lid, and a 13” carbon steel with lid..and I use mostly coconut oil ( extra virgin cold pressed organic from Sam’s club) for breakfast every day and in the wok, and if I don’t want that flavor, I use grape seed or avocado oil.

Coconut oil is the best for Popcorn. Hope you and Mrs Castiron had a popcorn for movie night.
It sure gives it a great flavor! Thanks Billy!!
Good details and demonstration! Love this idea and I will be giving this a try as well. Thanks Mr. & Mrs Cast Iron

LOL! Good morning Cynthia!
Nice! That brings back memories of the late 60s and early 70s when we used to make popcorn like that at home! Thank you, Mr. Cast Iron.
Glad you enjoyed it James! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out my friend!

Thanks Richard! It comes out perfect every time!
@@MrCastIron I’m still using my Whirley Pop.
@@MrCastIron lol. Now I’m gonna have to try that. I eat popcorn just about nightly.
Lol! Whirley Pop huh!? That reminds me of Jiffy Pop! 🤣🤣
@@MrCastIron I love that thing. I made two vids on it. It’s been around for a long time. I also use coconut popcorn oil and Flavacol popcorn salt. Comes yellow and taste like movie theater popcorn.
I’ve never tried popcorn in my wok but I will now , thanks Mike .
It is good!! Give it a try Henry and let us know what you think!!
National popcorn day coming up! That looks perfect! Now I need a wok.
Lol!! Thanks for making me smile!!
I love popcorn , eat it at least a few times a week , this is great
Yes indeed! This will make you an awesome pan of popcorn and pop nearly all the kernels while doing so! How do you pop yours now!?
Nice! I have been enjoying a lot of popcorn as of late, and did a video making it in my NINJA Foodi 14 in 1 cooker. I was looking at the Lodge woks the other day, I like them! Great video Mike!
Thanks, Paulie! These woks are good ones, but they are heavy. But, of course, cast iron is always heavy, right!?
That’s a cool looking wok Mike! Movie night! I like brewers yeast on my popcorn, tastes great.
Thanks Charlie! I’ve never heard of putting that one popcorn!
Brewers yeast...ha! I forgot all about that! We used to throw that on home-popped corn all the time. You just dated yourself old timer! Thanks for reminding me.
@@jamesprior2496 Haha, it’s good stuff!
Yeah he is an old-timer James! LOL
Smart .. Thanks .. 🙂👍🍺
Thanks, Dan! It's so simple and easy to make!
What temperature did you cook it on?
For popcorn, it has to be hot enough for the oil to make the kernels pop! I preheated the wok on medium-high heat until it was ready to add them. That's why I tested 3 kernels before adding all of them.
Does it have a round bottom inside?
Yes it’s rounded on the inside and flat on the outside.
👍👍👍
Thanks Jason!!
Never made popcorn in my Lodge wok 🤔
No need to stir?
Different flavor than air popped?
No need to stir! The flavor is awesome, especially using coconut oil!
I only cook steaks soaked in dales seasoning overnight then on grill never on stove never coals only wood. Rib eyes with lots of marble inch half thick good rounded cuts love video knowledge
Ok! Do you like popcorn popped in cast iron!!??
This is about popcorn!! Do you put the popcorn on top of your steak?? Just wondering!! 5:00
