Aroma Housewares AEW-306 Electric Wok with Tempered Glass Lid Easy Clean Nonstick, Cooking Chopsticks, Tempura and Steaming Racks, Professional Model, Black

This Wok gives the heat much better than the last one we had. Clean up is nice. My wife loves it and that's all that matters

Love this wok! Great size and depth to make stir fry for 8 people! Non-stick coating was great and the temperature dial was easy to use. Very easy clean up and would definitely recommend! I love it!

Wife and I never owned any form of wok before but decided on an electric, based on other reviewers who claimed the range top variety doesn't get hot enough. The relatively low cost of the Aroma afforded an affordable chance to try wokking. We are so glad we did. The size of this wok is perfect for us. We've fed four adults from one batch of Terriaki salmon stir-fry, seconds included. When it's the two of us, we have enough to refrigerate for another meal. Our meals reheat very well in the microwave. We could've fit even more food in the wok but a couple of preheated (microwaveable, frozen) vegetable packs fit nicely with the meat. This unit heats up fully in about 5 minutes. The indicator light goes out to let you know when your selected temperature has been reached. We cook most meats at 7 or 8, but used 9 for pork because I like it darkened more. We marinate the meat before it goes in. We tend to use more peanut oil than recommended to ensure the meat cooks quickly and completely in 2 minutes. It hasn't bothered the flavor. After two minutes we add the vegetables that we pre-heated. We then drizzle more sauce (soy plus terriaki, sweet and sour, Jack Daniels barbecue, whatever we marinated with) and often sprinkle on some coriander (its lemony flavor is especially great with shrimp and with salmon pieces). The Aroma cools down in 15 minutes or so. It's very easy to wipe clean with a lightly soaped and dampened paper towel. We haven't found the need to place it in the sink for immersion cleaning. We don't use the lid because we don't steam anything, but it's made of heavy glass and has vent openings for when needed. The power cord and controller are unitized and have a squeezeable lever to attach and disconnect it from the wok. We push it in a little farther after the lever has been released because the unit isn't otherwise fully inserted. You'll readily feel this. Given the price we were astonished at the quality of the materials. Who can say how long the cooking surface coating will last -- on this Aroma or on the higher priced brands? At this price and given how much we now enjoy wokking we'll certainly replace it when the time comes with whichever brand and model looks to do the job.

I like the fact that it's cast iron and has a non stick surface . It has a little weight to it and that's another plus. The bottom is made of a sturdy rubber, and is detachable for easy cleaning. Turned up on high about the third button from the last, it does get nice and hot, and It cooks well. My main issue with it is that it doesn't get but so heated until it's turned up on high, and that took some getting use to especially being cast iron. I expected to be able to feel some heat by placing my hand over it at a lower level but in reality I couldn't feel the heat until I turned it up to a higher heating level up to the third button from the last. The lower heating levels need improvement. Otherwise it's a useful cooking tool in my kitchen.

Just what we wanted.... works great!

Easy to use and easy to clean (non stick) Perfect for a healthy stir fry dish. I highly recommend this product.

This wok looked good online, arrived in a reasonable time, and looked good out of the box (and a good looking box). Everything appears sturdy. I have an electric wok that I've used for years, but I was planning on giving an electric wok as a wedding gift. Apparently the company that made my old wok no longer makes them so I went online to find another maker. This one looked good. After I took it out of the box, it looks good, and feels good. Everything seems to fit well. And I've just finished by first stir fry and it performed as it should. Now that I know it is a good product, I have just ordered another that will become a wedding gift. -- Stir Fry? Easy and quick to prep all the ingredients Easy and quick to cook all the ingredients. And, easy and quick to clean up afterwards.

I love my new wok except for the size. I am so used to cooking a huge amount of food for our family of 6 in my usual Aroma Wok. You can easily cook a ton of food all at once in that huge wok. This one I have to use when I am only cooking for 3 or 4 of us. The heat came up the bottom and side perfectly and I didn’t have any food stick at all. I am crazy about the see thru lid. I wished my bigger wok had this lid. That would be a huge plus. I also like the Removable power cord. I don’t know why my other one doesn’t have a removable cord. It is such a great convenience to be able to clean the wok without having to worry about the cord in the way. There are several benefits to this wok over the larger one that aroma carries. I didn’t take any stars off for size because I knew it were a tad smaller then my other Wok. I also like the base can snap off. Makes cleaning so much easier. I had trouble getting the bass back on. Of course when I handed it to my husband it snapped on so easily. I just needed to press harder. It is on a spring. There are some nice racks that comes with this wok that makes cooking a lot easier.
