I got this to replace my carbon steel wok I use with a pretty decent (18,000 BTU) gas range. I was skeptical of an induction wok, having started with and later abandoning flat bottom and stainless steel woks in favor of a more traditional wok. That said, this comes with a traditional round-bottom carbon steel wok, and while induction cooking is obviously not traditional, this cooker is great. The truth is that Authentic Chinese stir frying uses a heat that a residential gas range—even a high-end one—is simply not going to put out. This wok is no joke. I used to cut ingredients as I cooked, but now I have to prepare everything in advance because this thing heats up SO FAST that there’s no time to lose. On top of that, it’s portable and convenient, and the included wok stand is a nice touch. I would highly recommend using a ladle to stir—if you want to cook like a street vendor on a 14†pow wok, you probably aren’t looking at this one to begin with!The only real downside is that the wok is a bit tricky to season since the heat doesn’t go up the sides. I recommend seasoning with a sliced onion instead of just oil. Still, for actual cooking, I find the heat distribution better than a powerful gas range.

I use this for RV camping in sites with power. Much easier to use than setting up outdoor stove, doesn't consume propane, fast, efficient, cool enough to pack right away after use. Super happy with it!

This induction powered wok has enough power to heat a five inch diameter area in the center of the wok to >550 deg F, empty, pre-heated on SEAR when checked with an IR temp gun. The wok surface temperature will gradually decrease from this until at the edges of the wok it will only be ~200 deg F. Even commercial wok cooking has a similar temp gradient that is used to move food around to hotter or cooler areas as you cook. This is hot enough to get great results if you manage it. In other words it doesn't heat like a commercial wok station with a 250k BTU gas jet burner so you simply cook less at a time. This means that there is no reason to use it for high-heat stir frying at anything less than the SEAR setting. If you overload any wok with too much food, this one included, the temperature will dive down and may not recover until you have wilted all the freshness out of your food. Then you can blame the wok if you want, but if you only cook small amounts and keep the bottom real hot (>450) the results you get will be amazing, better than anything you can do on a regular rangetop with a flat-bottomed pan. An IR temperature gun is really helpful until you can tell how hot it is from experience.For example, one large chicken breast that is cut up into 1/2" pieces cooked in three batches will work, all at once will overload it. This seems like a huge disadvantage until you realize that stir-frying at these heat levels is extremely quick. At >450 F, 1/3 of a cut-up chicken breast is done in less than a minute. So in less than 5 minutes you are done anyway. This includes removing each batch and allowing the wok temperature to recover, just additional seconds. Dishes that require you to add successive ingredients also need to be batched and only brought together at the end.Not big enough for banquets but superb for 1-2 people everyday or occasionally even 4 if you're having a beer or sake and taking your time. I never liked asian stir-fry at home before getting this.4 stars because the price is $50 too high for most people to justify.

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.

The very quick delivery by Amazon. I've used this new appliance 3 times now and each time I appreciated the quality and result of stir fry more. Of course you can buy a less expensive electric wok but I would rather get quality and perhaps cut back on several meals out to enjoy this great experience .

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.

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.
