Love to Stir Fry
As you know you can't use a regular wok with electric stove top, I have been using a 12-inch nonstick pan on my smooth glass top stove. I needed 2 hands, one for stirring the other holding the pan from spinning around, which was a pain. Now, I just plug this baby in and have a ball. This appliance is so well made and a pleasure to use. So far, I have only used it for stir frying, however you can use it for other recipes according to its booklet and sample recipes, like soups and curries. Its big and if you don't have room to store it, you may have to lease space somewhere ;-) This is the next best thing to cooking with gas. It gets very hot, you need to preheat it empty, then have your ingredients ready and in a matter of a few minutes you have ... Read More
The ultimate bachelor cooking appliance?
If you're lazy and tend to eat a lot of frozen or junk food, you should really give this a try instead.
Just turn it on and you have 10 minutes to start slicing up up meat and vegetables. Since the meat is sliced thin, it'll marinade very quickly. Then when it's heated up, just throw everything in at once. The food will start cooking furiously and you basically just slide it around and flip it for 2-3 minutes and it's done. The meat will be juicy and the vegetables al dente.
It cooks so hot and fast that it's actually thrilling. All you really need is a knife, spatula and cutting board, so cleanup is quick and easy.
This is an incredible WOK!
I had a cheaper version of a WOK that was "supposed" to be made from something that would allow the ingredients not to stick. That was a JOKE. This WOK is simply the best. You can put anything in there and it will not stick, even on high heat. It has such a wide range of temp variations! It is very sturdy, which some have viewed as a downfall, but it's not THAT heavy. It is hard to wash if you detach the base, but I just wash without submerging the electrical part and it cleans right up.
The WOK cooks incredibly well and quickly. I love, love, love this thing!! Great investment!!
Easy to use and wash
This wok is easy to use, easy to wash, dry and saves gas! I have been using this wok for a long while now. I use this for deep frying vegetable spring rolls and alot of Chinese recipes. Doesn't burn badly like gas stove with lots of smoke. I enjoy using this!
Great [rpdict
I bought Breville EW30XL Electric Gourmet Wok actually based on the reviews that I had read prior to buying this wok. I have only been able to use it once as my husband is having major teeth problems and will be having a new bridge, so he is limited as to what he can eat....very soft foods or liquids only. Boy are we tired of his diet!!! I have a great garden and he can't eat anything. Anyway, the one time I used the wok I was very impressed and all the reviews that prompted me to buy it were right on target. I would highly recommend Breville EW30XL Electric Gourmet Wok if you don't have a gas stove like myself.
