How much does it weigh, i.e., is it hard to pick up as are cast iron skillets?

Much lighter than regular cast iron. with two hands, I can handle easily. But I stopped using after just less than five times. The coating film started to peel, not sure it is safe. Got one from Costco, looks from the same manufactury, a little better, still lots of room for improvement.

No, it really is pretty light, nothing like a heavy cast iron skillet. I use the wok at least twice a week and the way it conducts heat makes it well worth the extra price. I highly recommend it.

It is much lighter than a LeCreuset or Lodge cast iron skillet. I had to return the Joyce Chen wok as it was not completely flat on the bottom would not work on my ceramic stove top.

Have no idea about the exact weigh, but it is not hard as cast iron skillets to pick up. Sometimes, I can do with one hand.

I own one for two years. Not that bad, as weight is concerned. I'm a female w/o strong wrist, I can handle with one hand. If I do a full wok of heavy stuff, I'll scoop some out first before lift the whole wok. It's iron, no coating, sustain heat much better. It's just healthier way of cooking. My hubby likes the dishes I made out of this wok better. I guess it's because I would be able to fully heat up the oil before stir fry. I don't worry about the coating damage and chemical release due to heating any more.

It is heavier than non stick. But not as heavy as traditional cast iron. I would say weight is not that much an issue

It is heavy, but is a quality product. I have been very happy with it and use it almost daily. The handle on the opposite end makes it easier to pick up with two hands.

I don't know if it's cast iron or not, but it's not heavy at all. I can pick it up easily with 1 hand. It's not a big bulky item either & can be stored easily in a cabinet or deep drawer. I love it! Cores, peels, & slices all at once! Wish I'd had it years ago!

Has more heft than typical fry pans, but would not consider it heavy like a cast iron pan. The coated handle makes it easy to hold.

It is very light weight, but I have dried my stock pots and skillets on it. I have stainless cookware which is mid-weight. I would not place heavy cast iron on this but I trust it with my glass lids. Considering the price, it is quite serviceable. It comes dismantled and you have to assemble. Make sure you tighten the bolts and check them occasionally when in use since they will work loose.

It weighs about 25lbs.It is not that heavy since it is steel and not cast iron.

I don't have it to weigh it but Amazon should be able to have the weight in their description. I returned my skillet due to bubbling inside the pan

I'm not sure how much it weighs (to heavy for me to pick up comfortably) but its been enough that it can shoot and be moved around. I did have the thrower put on a concrete slab for more stability as I have it out at a farm. Its great, and its always a hit with the Texas hunters that I have over visiting.

They're pretty heavy. The small 2qt pan weighs almost 2 lbs with out the lid. The lid adds another 12 oz. 3 qt is a little over 2 1/2 lbs without the lid, the 10 inch skillet is almost 3 lbs. I've had mine for 7+ years and I still use at least one almost daily. Love them.

I just picked ours up and I'd guess it weighs about 10 pounds. It's pretty easy to lift, but I wouldn't want to store it where I had to lift it over my head.

Yes, our cast iron skillet is pretty heavy & it held without problems. The only problem would be if your anchor ground is rocky or too soft. You have to get it into the ground well for it to stabilize.

I don't actually know how much but it is a nice somewhat heavy pan (as in not a lightweight). I've had cheap skillets before that didn't weigh enough and were over-balanced by the handle unless they had weighty enough food to over balance and that is definitely not the case here. But it's not so heavy you have to use two hands to hold it either. Hope that helps. I do recommend the pan. I've absolutely loved it since I bought it a couple of months ago.

On the light side. Not flimsy light - but certainly not heavy like the cast iron or even thicker styled nonstick.

The shipping weight shows 92.2 lbs, so it is probably about 85-90 lbs. Without knowing the weight I would have guessed about 80-100 lbs. One person can lift and manipulate slightly, but it is a struggle to move without two people (but not impossible). Not too bad for cast iron.

I'm guessing around 5 to 10 pounds. I am a 50+ year old woman and can pick it up with one hand and move it about easily

I don't believe it's heavy enough to be cast iron. I LOVE this grill!!! It's perfect if you don't need a large grill. It holds a good amount though, I've grilled two kinds of meat at the same time. Grate cleans very easily.

I don't know the exact weight. It's cast iron, so it's not light. But as cast iron goes, it's not too heavy to work with and the double handle makes it easier to use. I love this pan.

Lighter than my other cast irons! I'm guessing a couple pounds. I like how it cooks but beware the handle will get hot
