Ken Hom Carbon Steel Wok, 35cm, Excellence, Induction Hobs Suitable/Metal Tool Safe/Phenolic Handle, KH435001

I'd had a Ken Hom wok about 20 years ago that had finally died, it was amazing. The handle dismantled for easier storage, it NEVER stuck food to it, only needed seasoning once in a blue moon .. it was special. Then one day it got put in the dishwasher and died :(Roll on few week and I *really* fancied a Chinese takeaway - not going to happen with Lady Lockdown sitting on your shoulder - so I decided to try and make some fried rice in a normal pan. Don't bother, it's a bad idea...Anyway, so I was googling away and remembered that Ken Hom did a non-stick dishwasher safe wok, so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm impressed, and my Ken Hom wok standards are already VERY high.It's a wok, it's non-stick, you can stick it in the dishwasher, the handle comes off for easy storage, it get oil SMOKING hot in no time, but BEST OF ALL ... you can make PROPER fried rice in it!Very, VERY happy customer!

So far this wok has been as expected. Good quality. However, I feel it is too early to give a fair review as this needs to be used over a longer period to be able to give an honest judgement.

To start with, the packaging card sleeve was retained to the inside centre of the wok with a half inch wide thin disc of glue which would simply not unstick. Tried everything to get it off, starting with soapy water and finishing with methylated spirit, via white vinegar, lemon juice and worktop degreaser. Nothing would touch it, and of course abrasives like cif couldn't be tried. Took over half an hour of hard work to shift it in the end, which has rather tainted the ownership experience. And all so futile - the glue was entirely unnecessary in the first place. And so to using it.... Pretty awful, really. The so-called non-stick surface is nothing of the sort; cleaning it after use is an absolute nightmare. It's also too steep sided to fit the Rangemaster wok support. Not a patch on the dirt cheap one it replaced, which finally succumbed after 30+ years service but would still just wipe clean after use.

This is my second KH Wok in 20 yearsThe old one lost some protection due to burnt food and scratching but is still usableA dab of olive oil after washing is a good idea

Got the 35cm one because i like cooking a lot at once. Its fantastic. Easy to clean and the handle feels really sturdy. I got this after setting my last ken hom wok on fire and melting the non stick. This also forced everyone outside of my uni accommodation in the freezing cold.Wok: 10/10Wok with fire: 2/10

Great wok only comment I would make is it is heavy.

This lasted about 4-5 uses before everything was badly sticking. We followed cleaning instructions to ensure it lasted but still didn’t last. After about 10 washes it was peeling, just with hot water to clean it, no rough sponges etc. not impressed. Disappointed as was a gift to someone.

Brought for my son in law who loves it, but I'm still to hear how well it cooks!

Très beau produit de qualité. Aucune adhérence lors de cuissons, même si on laisse un peu trop cramer.

Veramente un bel wok! Arrivato ben imballato e senza graffi. Per preservare il rivestimento antiaderente consiglio di usare solo palette in silicone.

First I must admit I didn't plan on buying a non-stick pan but when it arrived and I realized I had bought one I thought I would give it a try:I followed the instructions on preparing the pan.Added some oil after heating the pan to just above medium.Watched as the non-stick surface dissolved and I was left with an unusable pan.Don't buy.

Tal como me habían dicho se cocina muy bien y rápido

Sehr gut, Mann kann sehr gut kochen.
