What? Whats the name? Where do you get this? I came here t see a glas of water boil? Does anyone on the internet have a real review of induction wok burners? Im so disappointed.
I am currently looking for a hob and a wok. Do standard hobs and this induction here hold every wok or only specific diameters? Also is an induction one as powerful as a hob with open fire? This is really important to me because I want a hub to have a way to cook with a wok on higher heat than a regular stove provides. And btw it is convex and not concave. conVex has a shape like a V, concave like the opening of a cave.
You'll need to double check with your brand you buy and whether they cater for all different sized woks and pots. My Induction cooker is more than powerful enough to work at Chinese restaurant grad cooking heat.
The plug which was connected to it was a China plug, search on google China power plug and you'll be able to see what the plug looked like. I cut the China plug off and put an UK version on without any problems. In regards to the 120v I'm afraid I can't really say much as I've never used 120v
You'd need to buy a step-down transformer, yes. Or try to find a model that is native 120V. Too bad it's not a switching power supply so you wouldn't have to worry about any of this conversion nonsense.
This thingy are 3500W rated. Most adapter / transformer are't rated for such high power usage!!! btw. 208V | 240V en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power#Advantages can be find somewhere in most house & 60Hz isn't a problem for most 50Hz induction stove
sugarbar "It requires 240V? my home is 120v only" If you live in the USA or Canada you most likely have 220v connections somewhere in your house if you have an electric range and/or an electric clothes dryer. It's a simple matter for an electrician to install a 220v outlet in your kitchen for special devices like this wok cooker. The electrician could also modify the cord on the cooker to work with North American-style 220v outlets. The problem I could foresee would be that our current runs at 60 Hertz, and Europe and most of Asia run at 50 Hz. Some electronic devices won't work properly on a frequency for which they weren't designed, so make sure you shop for a model that's designed for your location.
Its an absolute pleasure, i t works faster and stronger than a gas stove, without the dangerous flames from the gas stove. Most of the time I don't go passed 2500 watts as it will burn the food.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Just bought a flat induction hob (max 2000W) and tried my flat wok on it. It's powerful enough for quick stir-frying. One major inconvenient feature in these devices doesn't have a knob for quick heat control. A knob makes it easy to change heat between 200-2000W.
You really need. to answer this question yourself as it would depend on what you'll be cooking. For example, I use two different sizes, one for steaming food, such as fish. But I also use a smaller wok for stir fry cooking. So to answer sorry I can't really give you a precise answer for what wok will be best.
