| Isn't it fun to go to Mongolian grills and watch them prepare stir-fry right in front of you ? Now you can provide your guests with that same excitement with this 1,500-watt electric wok. Simply put it on your table, let the guests chose their favorite vegetables, meats, and tofu, and then get the dinner party livened up with some quick wokking right there on the spot. Although the handles and base are heat-resistant, you'll probably want to set the wok on a cutting board to protect your tabletop. The adjustable temperature settings give precise control over cooking--select a high temperature for lightning-quick stir fries or the lower "warm" setting for serving. The wok features a support ledge for warming while stir-frying, and the nonstick interior is just right for cooking veggies and meats with less oil. Completely immersible once the temperature control is removed, the wok is dishwasher-safe for super-quick cleanup. --Ariel Meadow Stallings |

 West Bend Wok |

| After reading reviews on the wok's available on Amazon[.com], I decided on this Wok due to the ability to put it in the dishwasher. Turns out it is a bit to large to put in my dishwasher, but it is very easy to hand clean. The non-stick surface has lasted, but I am careful to only use plasic or wood, and I wash it with a cloth and soap. It gets to temperature quickly during cooking, the only 'complaint' I have is the simmer cycles (not a constant heat, but on and off). I purchased some Thai cook books, (Real Thai, and Thailand The Beautiful Cook Book) and was amazed with the correct ingredients and a Wok, how easy it is to prepare my favorite food. The difference the wok made- I was able to cook at the correct temperatures. My stove BTU is apparently quite low, it took forever to 'sizzle' so the food turned to mush before it was cooked. I now use the wok for anything I want to cook fast and/or warm up. |
great and convenient cooking tool for anyone

| I have been wanting a good wok for a very long time, however until recently I have been preparing all of my stir fry dishes on top of the stove in a pan. I've hinted around to my husband on numerous occasion's my desire for a wok. This Christmas my husband surprised me with a wok as a gift. I must say that I really did try to hold out until Christmas, but the anticipation got the best me and I am so glad it did. the West Bend 79586-6 quart electric wok is more than I expected. It heats quickly, and the cooking temperatures/ heating control are a breeze. I have so many different appliances in my home, and this is by far my best. I simply love it. Thank You |
Replaced after 25 years

| I finally had to replace my West Bend Electic Wok after 25 hard years of use. The wok still worked but the electric cord gave out. I could replace the cord for about $20 but I got to looking at what was a beautiful red wok and it was now faded and the interior was beginning to stick. I figured they may have made a few improvements in that time, so opted to by a new one. It was well worth it. Heats up much faster, cools down quicker, larger cooking surface. Since I have a pantry, it stored in the same space as before. I like the metal lid. It is lighter than my first one so I can lift it with one hand and spoon contents out with the other. The only problem I have is seeing the temperature gauge because of the electrical outlet location in my kitchen. The gauge ends up on the left, under the handle. |

| I purchased this item as a Christmas present for my daughter-in-law. She had one previously, but it wore out and we were unable to find a replacement. She absolutely loves the West Bend Wok and says one of the features she especially likes is the fact that it maintains a certain temperature throughout the whole cooking process, rather than low, medium or high with the control switching off as soon as it reaches that temperature. It is easy to clean and hopefully will last "forever"! |
great wok - easy to clean

| I find myself using this wok more than I thought. Although it is large it is very lightweight and so easy to clean. It is nice to plug it in and start cooking right away. I purchased this at a Kitchen Etc.. going out of business sale for only $24 so it was a great investment!! |
