I have Wanted/Needed a wok ever since I was little and had Chinese Stir-fry for the first time and then learned how it was prepared... Induction cooking was invented by Frigidaire in 1933 and the first induction cooktop was made by Westinghouse in 1971, Kenmore made a number of stoves in the mid 80's and there were a also several companies making European models up until more recently, and then NuWave brought it to the masses with portable units in 1993. This wonder-wok heats so very quickly and I love the wide range of temp control. Seasoning the pan was a breeze, and cleanup is super easy (You TOTALLY need a classic bamboo wok brush). My stove is an under-sized almost RV stove after they remodeled everyone's apartments, so I appreciate the idea to put a pan under the wok.. The fellow did it for other reasons, but it does indeed add stability I've steamed with it, made stir-fry, and fried tempura with it now. I've never had anything heat the oil so fast, let alone be totally stable with temps.. Oh!!! and It's amazing how fast it stops cooking when you press pause or turn it off.. Thank You Nikola Tesla for all your wonderful inventions that have given us all so very much.. Right down to this amazing wok.. This thing took a bit of getting used to since I've never used induction before, but I swear by it now. I love the fact it uses a NORMAL pan instead of specialty cookware like the old days when induction was new, and the cookware was truly cost prohibitive. Thank You NuWave!!! I LOVIT!! Namaste...

This product is fantastic. The full bundle is very well worth the price! The wok is great quality as well. Make sure you follow the instructions for seasoning and preparing steamer as well! I had a slight issue with the tongs and wok stand missing from the box, but I was able to connect with Perla S. From customer service and she did such a fantastic job job assisting me and getting my missing items to me quickly! She was flexible, so communicative, and even followed up after the items arrived. This company has wonderful customer service and I am thankful!

Setup is easy, as it is 3 parts (base with cord, Lid, Wok) The wok is pre treated carbonized Steel. Usability is simple, as a little oil, turn the left knob to the desired temperature, and press the right knob. If you adjust the temp up or down it automatically cools or heats. Heating is quite fast, so make sure your ingredients are ready. (Melt coconut oil to starting to stir fry in a minute or 2), If frozen ingredients it does recover the heat fairly quick. I use the lid while thawing in the pan and stir frying. Heated area is the middle to about 1/4the way up, anything above that just gets spread heat from the pan, top is cool, so great for holding items as the sides are not to steep It's quite stable, but you can't toss with the pan, or the unit will been saying the pan is too far away. So you more or less stir fry with 2 utensils instead. Does a great job of keeping theiddle temp for frying, boiling off, etc. Cleanup is a breeze, just wash with a scrub daddy. If anything is burned on just add water and heat to a boil, it comes up easily. Maintenance: after washing fully dry it off put it on the burner and dry it, then wipe with oil and let it smoke a second to preseason. (This part is important as all carbonized Steel like cast iron will rust of left wet. The pan also works on portable wok flame burner as well. Quirks, if you use preheat till it stops, I could not figure out how to get it to heat again. You can't lift the pan or it will turn off Er1 after 10 seconds. It is not quite cooking, you hear the whir of the rotating magnet mechanism under the bowl shape plastic holder. Like most induction that area only has residual heat from the pan, but it does not get hot enough to not be able to touch it, more like a very warm. The pan though gets hot.

It’s a lot of fun and works well after two years of use. I like the precision temperatures and I like how it heats up fast The Included Wok is awesome. It Really is naturally nonstick. For someone who is used to cooking on a flat bottom walk designed for standard cooktops, using a real wok with a curved surface is great. I haven’t done any wok hei . I can see that it can. The little front panel came unglued and then I lost it. I’ve also managed to lose the lid, which was very nice. Other lids work.

If you love Asian cuisine, this wok is a must-have! It's incredibly easy to use and clean. Once you learn how to properly season the wok, cooking becomes a delightful experience. The wok is lightweight and on the thinner side, but that's perfect for the price and my preferences. It comes with a lid, so you can keep your food covered and warm without drying out. The unit itself is compact and doesn't take up much space. The temperature control is excellent, allowing you to choose your preferred setting. I appreciate how you can easily adjust the temperature by spinning the knob. We have a gas stove, but we're considering switching to an induction stove for better environmental health and to avoid inhaling toxins from the gas stove while cooking. Other benefits include energy efficiency, faster cooking, precise temperature control and even heating.

Fantastic wok, even though it’s USA voltage

Buttons wore off very fast and as of today ( 5 months after purchase) it is just not working! I cannot return it because after purchase I go one month to return it, very disappointed.

Base is surprisingly light but appears to be solid. Heats up in a matter of seconds. I haven’t tried it all the way to 575 more out of fear than anything else 🤣 but it was definitely increasing in temperature as I raised the level. Pan is carbon steel with a silicone handle so I believe it can be seasoned in the oven for ease since silicone is good to temps over 400F. Haven’t tried cooking in it yet but looking forward to it! Only problem (and it’s a me problem!) is that the base raises the pan by several inches making it a bit too high on the counter for me to cook comfortably and safely (I’m 5’2”) but I have a little step stool. Very excited to try this out!

Arrives in box, well packed. Includes basic round bottom carbon steel wok, glass lid that also will fit 13-14" pans, a deep fry rest rack for things like tempura, a wok stand that lets you rest the round wok on a counter. basic instructions with some recipes. A flat bottom carbon steel wok that fits deep into the bowl of the base unit will also work. You can crank the base up to an alleged 575F in 5F increments. I suspect the bottom middle gets hotter. Not a professional temp tester but the laser temp taker went higher at one point. There are some youtube videos that review/use this. See Jon Kung - who has the best opinion on it that I found and is a professional wokker who uses this unit hard. The base has been splattered with fry oil and other cooking debris. It cleans up easily with a bit of wiping and soap. The glass lining of the base bowl is going to acquire a bit of mark up from the wok but going by Mr Kung's usage, I'm going to trust it will last awhile. Hardest part of using this is doing the wok's heat seasoning. You may or may not use the included basic wok. It's thin walled and you can't oven season the wok because the silicone handle cover seems to be permanently attached to the metal handle. Pity. You can season by turning the wok within the base bowl, it's just more laborious. There is an overheat safety setting. Turning the unit off and on again, clears this. There are separate knobs for power, wattage and timing. I am not certain why there's a timer but it's also the start button aside from the preheat function. If your base power kicks off, check the timer which may have been activated. Depending on your health, the base is easy to move around. Bit bulky to store, dependent on your kitchen and if you keep wok peripherals with it. A bit pricey but if you want to wok with only electrical power available, this portable unit is likely your best bet. Can certainly go trailer camping or no-kitchen event with it.

Quite new to Wok cooking, but I have no complaint so far. Wok and induction cookware are very nice. Lid is useless so far and I hate useless lid hanging around... I wish the induction cookware was sold separatly.
