Amazon.com Review

This electric wok's new anodized, nonstick finish gives it three times the durability of regular nonstick woks, and its nonreactive surface lets you cook with less oil. Also the wok won't change the taste or color of foods, as do some pans of lesser quality. The wok is fairly large, with a 4-3/4-quart capacity. It also has a removable temperature control, and can be fully immersed in water for easy cleaning. It comes with chopsticks, a tempura rack, a steam rack, and a cookbook to get you started. --Julie McCowan

Each wok comes with a cook book, providing a variety of recipes that will capture your imagination. This item is hard anodized and features Circulon's unique Hi-Low grooves with DuPont's top-of-the-line Autograph nonstick coating, to create the most durable nonstick surface possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Electric wok - professional style, December 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Circulon 48785 14" Electric Wok

We enjoy wok cooking several times a week and have gone through several "off the shelf" electric woks. Manufacturers had not yet produced a heavy-duty electric wok until now. The Circulon 14" wok is far superior to any similiar product we have found on the market - price included. The pan is heavy and retains heat exceptionally well. The controls are easy to use and offer the variety of heating temperatures needed for oriental cooking. Although non-stick surfaces have been available for years this pan is truly that. The ability to totally submerge the pan for cleaning is a definite plus and allows the user to hang the pan on a suspended cooking rack system. This wok with be the last one you will ever buy.

I bought this wok because I have a ceramic top range and could not get good results from so called flat bottom woks and fry pans. I have envied an asian neighbor's gas range and the carbon steel wok he uses. Since a kitchen remodel and a gas range is a long way off for me, I decided to try an electric wok. I read many reviews of various electric woks and was not certain I would be satisified with any of them. I took a gamble on this one and I am not disappointed. I prepared several dishes the first weekend I got this wok and it performs as well as the carbon steel wok on a gas range. It gets extremely hot, very quickly. I deep fried chicken for General Tso's Chicken in this wok, drained the oil, wiped it clean with a paper towel, then stir fried the chicken with sauce for as good and authentic a dish as you can get at any restaurant - crispy in a spicy sweet sauce. I also prepared Szechuan green beens, shrimp fried rice, and fried crab wontons, all with excellent results and the clean up in between dishes was very easy, again requiring a simple wipe with a paper towel in between dishes - even the caramelized sauce remains that usually stick and burn on my other pans. At the end, I just disconnected the control element and washed the wok with hot soapy water in the sink and it cleaned up in a snap - inside and out. I used a metal spatula for all the stir frying and the circulon annodized nonstick looks as good as it did when I removed it from the box. Even my neighbor was impressed with the results. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants the results of a gas fired wok but for what ever reason can't use one.

I don't know how I got along without this incredibly versatile kitchen utensil. The non-stick surface is perfect and the heating element is almost instantaneous. At first, I just used it for stir-fry, but it is so handy that I've actually used it for everything from frying bacon to General Tso's chicken. It's also a great steamer. Being portable, you can use it on the deck or even in the garage on rainy days if (like us) you don't want the whole house to smell like garlic. The fully submersible cleanup is a real advantage -- just wash it with soap and water and air dry for the next use. The cookbook which comes with it is a genuine value in itself: several excellent recipes plus a succinct tutorial on various frying techniques. You'll be a pro the first time out. Great product!!
