Seems too tiny to do any meaningful stir frying. Maybe only of value when like toasting spices for an Indian tadka?

Ornamental

Edit: Sorry, I see that this is used for serving dishes, not for cooking in.

With it being cast iron, once the heat is off the residue heat is still there and potentially over cooking. The food would have to be immediately versus a steel wok.

The pictures seems to show this use case as an individual Korean Stone Bowl.

Maybe too small for stir fry, but it would be great for dolsot bibimbap, paella for two, or any other dish where you want a nice, crispy socarrat-like crust to develop. Would also be good for a lot of Japanese donburi-style dishes.

Too bad the 6 1/4" isn't on sale. It would be great for small, individual-sized portions of all the above.

Make sure you understand what you are buying. A traditional wok is carbon steel because it needs to heat quickly but also cool quickly for high heat stir frying. Cast iron does the opposite of that, it retains heat really well. I'm sure there's good uses for a cast iron wok but I couldn't tell you what they are.

Yes, you should not be cooking with a cast iron wok. It does not function as a conventional steel wok

The other thing a carbon steel wok does really well is have an insulated handle attached that is movable with a single normal human's wrist. I can imagine having to train like Bruce Lee for 2 years before being able to do a one wrist wok-toss with this 9 pound chonk.

USES? If youre doing a griddle hibachi (a 'blackstone' for kids out there) then this indeed sits nicely on the cooktop for heating up sauce.

According to chatgpt, the volume is only 2qt. That's pretty small - can't hold a standard bag of popped popcorn

You wouldn't toss with a cast iron wok. Spatula only.

A cast iron wok? Is this an American thing? Why not a steel wok like the entire Asian world has been using for 100s of years?

They might be better for an electric stove. ie, they the stove does not put out a whole lot of BTUs. You'd spend longer heating it vs carbon steel, but once it's hot it will stay hot long enough to cook your food despite the weak burner.

Maybe you could warm it to 180ish and use it to serve something like a cheesy dip? ie, it's a self-warming serving dish. The loop handles fit into this idea the best. The Baker's Skillet design drops the traditional skillet handle for loops on both sides to help save some space and make carrying with both hands easier.

It really seems like it's ideal use is to sit on a shelf, though. 9" is kind of small for a wok. Cast iron is going to be heavy and I don't see anybody tossing food around in it.
