Aroma Housewares AEW-306 Electric Wok with Tempered Glass Lid Easy Clean Nonstick, Cooking Chopsticks, Tempura and Steaming Racks, Professional…

the only Complaint I have is that it does not have degrees on the dial. the dial is easy to see and attach. Has a latch that holds in and releases. The Wok can be separated from the element for washing and is dishwater safe. Heat quickly and evenly. Stir fry has become my dish after Air Fry. Do not use stove or oven any more and my electric bill is down

The Wok is not heavy and easy to carry around. As well, it heats up very quickly. This is a good alternative for people who have a glass stove/oven where most Wok’s don’t perform well because a Wok needs to sit perfectly flat on the surface to heat up evenly. Nonetheless, this Electric Wok does the job fine, and my wife loves it! Remember, there are Pro’s and Con’s with everything. If this fits your application, like it did ours, I recommend it for an Electric Wok.

I do love stir fried foods and the convenience of just blending things together for one dish meals. I have always wanted a big gas stove and a great wok in my kitchen but have never had either. So most of the time, I have been forced to sautee on a an electric stove which makes it difficult to get the right temperatures to effectively cook good stir fries.
I decided to try this wok out, despite my being averse in general to non stick surfaces. I tend to believe that non stick prevents good caramelizing of food for whatever reason. The price was right and I figured it might be a means of getting me acquainted with more recipes that I had been loathe to try.
First off, I received the package promptly, two days after ordering through my prime account – everything was packaged well.
The box contained everything I needed, including two big chopsticks to go with the wok, lid and plug and small racks that hang on the side of the wok, ostensibly for preparing fried foods and allowing them to drain.
I got right to work,preparing a dish of onions, snow peas and beef in an Asian sauce.
I turned the control to “8” because the thermostat does not give readings in degrees.
That seemed to be the perfect temperature for the meat, which I placed in , allowed to brown for about 30 seconds and stirred around before removal to prepare for veggies.
I then placed by non meat item is with very little oil and stir fried. They were ready in a jiffy, with 8 being the heat setting. I added everything back in, scooted it to one side, and added my liquid, which began to boil almost immediately and reduced quickly. A pinch of cornstarch and I stirred everything in.
The dish was great. I was satisfied. The vegetables stayed crunchy and colorful – results I was often unable to get cooking on my stove top.
In the ensuing 10-12 days I used the wok for a variety of dishes, from tempura to curries. I also used it to dry fry my tofu before marinating – that wok works very well for doing that, with the temperature set to about 9, as ten is too hot and eight is too cool for my purposes.
I used it to make fried rice, with great results.
If I had one complaint it would be the temperature gauge – I would like to know the temps.. . just because. Also the heat is concentrated at the bottom and about 1 or so inches up the sides. I am not sure if that is the way things are supposed to be, though, in wok cooking.
The non stick surface cleans up easily – I use a damp sponge to wipe it out.
Overall, I think it is a good value at the price. I use it nearly every day, so I will update if anything goes bad.

This is a fantastic wok but I will NEVER put soap in it & I hand wash every time
Instead when I am done I turn it on, add water and cook to sterilize! Then pour the water out & add olive oil to coat then put it away
I never allow my husband to wash it either because I want it to last forever
Of course I only use utensils for Teflon
If you want this to last consider doing what I do
This wok was $60 and I want it to last

Buy it! I used it for beef stew and it came out great. You will not regret it.
