Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A wok's curved shape lets a relatively small amount of cooking oil circulate back down in to the well of the pan, where it is scooped and stirred back onto whatever's cooking. This makes it useful for healthy cooking. And the high temperatures of stir-frying bring out accordingly rich flavors. This 6-liter electric model is a solid, all-around useful pan to have in any kitchen. The nonstick cooking surface means you need even less oil, and cleaning it is very easy. Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils while cooking; metal implements will scratch the nonstick coating.

The instruction booklet comes with a few Chinese recipes, but this wok is more universal than that. Many things that can be sautéed or pan-fried can be done in a wok; even quick soups can be made from start to finish in it. (If you do make something with a lot of sauce or broth, ladle it out rather than trying to tip the pan and pour; remember--even the outer side of the cooking surface gets extremely hot during cooking.)

To clean, first make sure the wok cooking surface is completely cooled, both for your safety and for the safety of your sponge. Do not fill a hot wok with cold water. The cooking surface and base separate, and they are dishwasher-safe (the heating element is completely sealed once the temperature probe is removed). Fully assembled, the electric wok measures 14-1/2 inches across by 9 inches high. Rival provides a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers

4.0 out of 5 stars worth the price ($35), June 9, 2004

Not a bad wok, and it fit me as a college kid. Sure enough, after a week the non-stick coating bubbled up and looks nasty, but it's all aesthetics. The temperature dial is handy, but it really only has two internal settings ('off' and 'fry'). If you use it to steam, it switches on - boils - then switches off when it reaches the temperature. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

It's nothing fancy, but it does a good job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for stirfry, March 28, 2004

I received this wok as a wedding present and we've used it more than any of our other appliances. It's easy to assemble, it cooks evenly and quick, and it's easy to clean up. Not only do we cook stirfry in it, but we use it with the bamboo steamers for vegetables and it's great for fried chicken and homemade french fries. It's so easy to use that my husband is actually motivated to cook in it, and then he can immediately clean it up when he's finished! The recipes that come with it are great, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands-down best electric wok I've ever used, April 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rival WS60T 6-Liter Electric Wok (Kitchen)

The teflon/non-stick surface is generously thick and didn't burn when the wok heated up to 400 degrees. The removable base makes cleanup extremely easy. The bamboo spoon and chopsticks were not moldy (see somebody else's review), but they are not really needed anyway. Use silicone tongs; metal will scratch the teflon and plastic/rubber will melt at higher temperatures.
