Ken Hom Excellence Non-Stick Pressed Aluminium Wok 31cm

This wok makes stir-frying quick and easy. with an ideal capacity for cooking up a tasty meal for 3 - 4 people.

Easy to Use

To start cooking, place the wok centrally on your hob ring and heat up gently with cooking oil. Once the oil is smoking hot add your chosen ingredients and start cooking. The non-stick coating means you don't need to turn the hob up to full heat. As long as you keep stirring and the food is sizzling it will cook quickly and evenly.

Lightweight and featuring a flat bottom ensures it is easy to use and fits perfectly on all hob types including induction. The superior non-stick coating ensures the wok heats up faster and needs less oil making it a perfect piece of kitchen equipment for everyday use. Stir-fry cooking is all about being quick, easy and healthy and this wok has been designed to assist with achieving that.

It is advised while using the watch on induction hobs, that the induction booster is only used for a very short time.

Exceptional Quality

Made from 1.5mm gauge (thickness) carbon steel it offers great heat conduction making it ideal for high heat, high-speed cooking whilst ensuring the temperature remains consistent throughout. The non-stick coating is suitable for use with metal utensils. 

The long phenolic handle ensures it is easy to carry and perfectly balanced so won't topple over. It is secured tightly to the wok with two rivets so you can be assured it won't become loose and wobbly over time.

Easy to Maintain

Occasionally apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the inner surface of the wok to prevent rusting should the coating become scratched. The non-stick coating also means it is easy to clean by hand with hot water. A mild detergent can be used if desired. Any stubborn food can be left to soak for a few minutes. Avoid using any harsh scouring products as this may damage the non-stick coating. Thoroughly dry with a clean soft cloth.

Easy to Store

The large metal loop on the end allows for easy storage as you can simply hang up your wok when not in use. 

Use and Care Instructions

Remove all packaging and labels and wash the wok in hot soapy water using a mild
detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Using The Wok
The wok is suitable for use on all types of hobs, including induction, however, we recommend that you also refer to your hob manufacturer's usage instructions. Not suitable for use in conventional or microwave ovens. Should the handle become loose during use, re-tighten immediately. Always match the base size of the wok to the heat zone it is to be used on. Add the oil to the wok then heat carefully until small "ripples" appear on the surface of the oil.

Do not let the oil become smoking hot. If this should occur let the wok cool down before proceeding. Olive oil, including extra virgin, is not recommended for stir-fry cooking as it has a low smoking point. It can easily burn which may damage the wok. During cooking, if the ingredients start to become dry or stick together, add one or two tablespoons of hot water and continue stir-frying; do not add more oil as this may make the finished recipe too oily. If used on a glass-topped hob, always li­ft the wok on, or across the surface. Never slide the wok as this may cause damage to the wok base as well as to the glass. Take care not to let the wok overbalance during use and never leave the wok unattended during cooking.

Heat Settings and Cooking Utensils
Take care not to overheat the wok; it should never be used on a maximum or too high a heat setting as excessive surface temperatures will damage the non-stick coating. The boost function on an induction hob should only be used for very short periods for rapid heating of large quantities of water if using the wok for boiling rice or vegetables for example, never for stir-frying/cooking. Keep gas flames confined to the base area; they should not extend up around the outside of the wok as this could cause overheating and lead to damage. Take care not to place the handle over direct heat or a naked flame. Never use knives or metal utensils with sharp edges on a non-stick surface.

Cleaning Instructions
Let the wok cool down for a few minutes before cleaning. For any stubborn food, residue fill with hot soapy water and leave to soak. Only use cleaning pads recommended for non-stick surfaces. Do not use metal pads, harsh abrasive or very stiff pads/washing up brushes or abrasive cleaning products on any surface.

Guarantee
The wok is covered by a 5-year guarantee, from the date of purchase, if used in accordance with all care and use instructions provided
