1700W Induction Wok Burner 120V, Includes 13.4-Inch Carbon Steel Wok

This is an induction wok burner so you'll need a wok made of a ferromagnetic material like carbon steel, cast iron, or magnetic stainless steel. Also, it's designed for a round bottom wok. I've heard on an impartial youtube video that it might work with a flat bottom pan, but I've not tested that. The few times I've used it so far, I've found that it gets plenty hot for Cantonese style stir frying and the temperature controls work well. Moving the wok around the unit while cooking is handled well with no damage to the unit. I also have a wok burner recommended by Kenji that goes to 130,000btu. This isn't that! But, that unit is unique and definitely something to use outside.

It's an odd piece of cook wear..??

I've hauled this thing out from under the cabinet at my upstairs bar to do what feels like a million different things. It's awesome for making syrups, foams, and fusions for craft cocktails. It also is excellent at pre-mixing agar for petri dishes for starting culinary mushrooms. Keeps it all very tight in one spot, and it doesn't have to be downstairs at the stove--I basically feel like I suddenly got a stove top at the bar. It works extremely quickly with its different power levels, and I really love that I can dial in the temperature by levels. Got a shot of the manual so you can check out the standard operating ability. The only possible thing that would make it better is if it had a magnetic stirrer somewhere inside so that I could have the pot auto-stirred...you need that for syrups...but no matter. It's super fast to clean the ceramic top and panel. I have a picture of the surface which bowls down into the interior--I presume for woks and stir fry, etc. But it works just fine with a flat bottom pot as well, big or small. Gets hot as hades, so be careful where you set it and keep a good eye on it. Overall, super happy to have the opportunity to review this for free through the Vine program, and it has been extremely useful. Easily a 5 for me, and any home bar aficionado will enjoy having it around.

Very disappointed in this product. All food sticks to the pan almost instantly, then it's very difficult to clean. This is even after coating with oil prior to cooking.

Works great and does work with flat bottom or rounded pan bottoms. There does appear to be a mismatch on the control labels, but it isn't so bad to make it difficult to read or understand the controls.

This is a nice Wok Induction Cooktop. It doesn't take up a lot of space on my counter while using, so it makes me happy. We love Asian food, especially friend rice. It's always been a pain trying to use the wok on my stove. This cooktop burner makes it so much easier to use my work. The shape of the burner fits my wok just great! This cooktop is so easy to use!

Nice product! Works just how I want it to. Great quality and easy to use. Would recommend.

I was looking for a single burner, of higher power, to use instead of my aging two burner induction cooker. This one is certainly a better design, with both power, temperature and timer controls. The old cooker was not 'fault tolerant', ie, it beeps continuously and endless for too many conditions common for cooking like taking a pan off the heat for a minute...and having to reset the cooker then. This one does have fault beeps, but so far only for 'missing pan' though I know there are others, it does recover when error is removed and recovers with out needing to restart. The heat output is also very impressive - easily more than my smaller 2 burner. This unit is bigger than I had expected - not a bad thing, but means I'll have to make room on a counter rather than cooktop (stove top) to place it. So far, initial cooking results with a few different pans, is good, but the slippery concave surface makes pans slide around in the The Bowl - too much, really, so I'm trying it with a 'made for induction cookers' silicon pad under the pan. The gap between the center of the pan and the cooking surfaces doesn't' seem to affect it's ability to cook on various pans - or at least as near as I can tell. The bowled surface seems odd to me - not curved enough for actual, or even 'americanized' wok pans, and too curved for typical frying pans, so I don't quite get what the intent here is. And the slick surface means pans slide around on it. But with the antislip pad in place a small 9" all clad frying pan fits nicely, and seems to be cooking very nicely...so far. (The all clad pan developed a warp on the bottom so is no longer stable on a flat plate electric element, so if this works well, it will rejuvenate my all clad collection.) Initial impressions - aside from the deep dish curves - are really good - it heats up pans/pots REALLY fast - water boiled in a small pot in less than a minute! The various control methods - power, heat/temp, timer are excellent features, though the temperatures default to Celsius, poking at the temperature button will change it to Fahrenheit. The manual is close to useless, just a printed page or two, mostly of 'warnings', etc. As I gain more experience with it I will update this review.
