Nuwave Mosaic Induction Wok, Precise Temp Controls from 100°F to 575°F in 5°F, Wok HEI, Infuse Complex Charred Aroma & Flavor, 3 Wattages 900, 1500 & 1800, Authentic 14-inch Carbon Steel Wok Included

Fantastic wok, even though it’s USA voltage

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.

Gets hot enough to produce that elusive wok hei! I have an electric cooktop in my home and only a downdraft fan so I haven’t been able to do wok cooking for years. I set this wonderful unit on a small table out on my deck and I’m able to get it smoking hot in an instant, with no worries about filling my kitchen with all the smoke and vaporized grease that is necessary for good wok cooking. My son came to try it out, certain that it wouldn’t measure up to his gas stove and fancy wok, but ended up being very impressed. He had needed to resort to using a small kitchen blowtorch in his kitchen to achieve that wonderful smoky effect but it wasn’t necessary with this unit. (He also has to disable his smoke alarms before wok cooking). The wok itself was very well seasoned and I have taken good care of it to make sure it stays that way. It is nice and light to handle and so easy to clean. It is also quite thin which means it both heats and cools very quickly, which is mostly a good thing. The only thing it can’t do, which I knew going in, is heat far up the sides. As long as you don’t try to cook a large quantity at once that’s not a problem. I was a little surprised that if I dumped in a larger quantity of ingredients at one time(maybe 3 or 4 cups), it would take a little longer than I expected to get back to smoking hot, but it did get the job done. All in all I am thrilled with this appliance and my husband has been equally thrilled with all my newly inspired wok cooking. I even got a deck umbrella just so I can keep using this in our rainy Oregon winters. I personally wouldn’t want to use it inside unless I had a commercial grade vent hood. I’m also quite happy that the manufacturer extends the warranty to 5 years if you register the product.

Wow, just Wow !! This is the biggest upgrade in Chinese cooking with electricity in my experience. WOK HEI (the breath of the Wok) easily achieved. Veggies quickly charred w/o 'mushing' them up with that special flavor of char. Season the Wok pan properly and it acts as a stick-free surface making it magically easy to turn foods to expose all to the heat at the base. I have yet to try the full 575 degrees, but have no doubt it can. Heat is very rapid, easy to change temps on the fly. Even deep fat frying, the oil quickly recovers when food is added. NOW, I had a little manufacturing issue with the original pan and even though I could still use the Wok I reached out to Nuwave. Holy Smokes, I was blessed to reach Perla.s as my contact!! She stayed on top of my concern and guided me through steps to confirm the situation (via pics/vid) and came right back with...."we will gladly replace the entire unit"....and the new one was here in three days! I have owned Nuwave PICs for 10+ years and have always been satisfied with them, but this was waay 'over the top' excellent customer service and product support. Thanks Perla.s

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!

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.
