Amazon.com Review

Stir-fry Asian-style or boil, steam, and fry Western-style right on the table or countertop with this round-bottom electric wok. With a capacity of 6-1/2 quarts, it's big enough for family meals: 10-3/4 inches high to the knob on its dome lid and 14-1/4 inches in diameter. Tubular stainless-steel legs stay cool so the wok won't harm any surface. Plug in the detachable cord and a thermostat adjusts heat from "warm" to 400 degrees F. Drawing 1,600 watts of power, the wok heats and reheats quickly, a boon if more than one dish is being prepared. A removable rack holds baskets for steaming seafood, vegetables, and other delicate foods. Included are a wooden spoon and spatula set. The wok's two handles and lid knob are unfinished wood and stay cool. Unplug the wok, which is nonstick inside and out, and it can be immersed in sudsy water for cleaning. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Maxim EW10 Professional 6 1/2 Quart Electric Wok, December 6, 2000

This review is from: Maxim EW70 Professional 6-1/2-Quart Electric Wok (Kitchen)

This wok is terrific for those who, like me, have a smooth-top stove and cannot use the standard wok. I found that the performance of this wok is almost as good as my heavy steal wok which I previously used. While nothing performs as well as a heavy steal wok over gas, this wok performs adequately for the seasoned Chinese cook. It's so much better than any electric wok I have seen! The heat distribution is the best I've seen on any electric cooking appliance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst wok I've ever used!, August 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Maxim EW70 Professional 6-1/2-Quart Electric Wok (Kitchen)

After the very first batch of stir fry, the non-stick coating began peeling off the bottom of the pan! I had an old west bend for ten years and though it became warped after many years of use, the non-stick remained good. I think there was something very defective here. I am still waiting for a refund from Salton.

I recently moved to a home without gas. While coping, the one thing I miss is a wok over gas. This is as close as one can get -- it is a fantastic electric wok with none of the shortcoming of other electrical appliances. Works great with my bamboo steamer as well. The folks at cooks illustrated were right when they recommended this wok.
