Awful! This doesn't keep high enough heat
For being a WOK, this should be able to keep high enough temperature. It doesn't. I love making Asian food & this just does not heat the dish. Mongolian beef...it stinks with this appliance. The veggies end up getting too cooked, while trying to compensate all ying and yang. All it's good for are pot stickers & egg rolls...and even then they don't turn out as well. <

>I will stay with my traditional wok for the gas stove...nothing else beats the heat & flavors with cooking Asian. <

great item
I use the elec wok for all kinds of cooking. Its not just for stir fry. I have done roasts/turkey and other meats plus potatoes and veagies. The one I have is 17 years old and well used. I am looking to buy another one as soon as I can find one close to home. I would recomend this product to any one who loves to cook and eat great food.

The Best Electric Wok Ever Made!
I have had this wok for a few years. It continues to perform in the best quality!

I prefer an electric wok because I prefer to cook on a surface larger than my stove. I use this wok to cook at the table - the wok stir-fries vegetables hot and fresh and crisp-tender. Anyone who has been to a restaurant like Benihana appreciates an at-table cooking experience! The wok has a temperature range from 150 to 400 degrees and it adjusts temperature quickly, heating and cooling very fast. It cooks beef, fish, and chicken to tender perfection. The handles of the wok are cool-touch/no potholders needed!

The non-stick surface is a definite bonus. You can stir-fry vegetables with no fat, or a light coating of a butter flavor spray, or a misting of olive oil. It also enables you to add a minimum amount of more expensive oils like sesame. You get that tremendous flavor without excessive oiliness!

Think you will only use this wok for Asian cuisine? Think again! I have used this wok to make scrambled eggs for a crowd (it heats them quickly and they are so moist and tender), beef stroganoff, and a multitude of vegetarian dishes. The only thing I don't recommend it for is deep-fat frying. The wok is made of a thin layer of metal that is great for stir fry cooking but I find a chicken fryer with a heavier layer of steel is more suitable for deep-fat frying.

The steamer rack is great for making chinese dumplings. I've also used it to moisten day-old rolls!

I've taken this wok to church suppers and work potluck lunches. You can plug it in like a crock pot on the lowest setting (Warm/Simmer) and it will keep your food at an even temperature. I've made Barbecue Butterflied Mini Smoked Sausages in it and everyone raves about how good they taste and that they're nice and warm. The lid makes an attractive presentation, and has a cool-touch handle. The best feature about this wok is that it is fully immersible. Just remove the heating plug (the whole unit unplugs with one pull) and immerse and wash. The lid and the wok can both go into the dishwasher, but since it's nonstick it cleans up easily with a sponge and soapy water. It's a bit big to fully immerse in a small kitchen sink, but you can wipe it down quickly.

I love this wok. Do yourself a favor and buy it-it's well worth the price!
