Scanpan Impact Wok & Lid 32cm

Actually I already wrote review for peter’s of Kensington 9 days ago.Thank you very much Peter’s of Kensington for your delivery for my purchased 1 piece of Scanpan Impact Stainless Steel wok with glass lid was very on time and packaging absolutely the best because they wrapped it in double box then another wrapping pepper so very safe packaging, nothing broken glass lid. I’m very happy. They price under the kitchen shops also they gave discounts voucher so even lowered price. Absolutely well done 👍

A wok that works on induction cooktops

I admit that I was sceptical that you get a wok to perform as well as the traditional chinese thin metal units you put on a gas burner.BUT the SCANPAN stainless steel wok is BETTER than the old way.With the induction cooktop I can get those immediate high temperatures essential for stir fryingAnd then you can take it down to simmer straight awayBRILLIANT

Amazing wok

We were in a hunt for a large wok and this definitely fits the bill! We have had few woks prior, and this one is the best. So sturdy, doesn’t stick and you can’t beat stainless steel. I love that it has a lid, so you can keep food covered once cooked. So happy with our purchase!

Follow the care instructions and it's a gem

I bought a stainless steel wok with my eyes open, in that I knew in advance you need to season it *before each use* to avoid food sticking to it and burning. The Wok with Tak YouTube channel has a good video about what he calls "spot seasoning", which I followed with good results.If you follow those instructions for preparing and maintaining this wok you'll get great results with it. It has the capacity to make stir fries for four people. You can put it in the dishwasher because it's stainless steel so cleaning is simple. I've also used it for boiling rice with no problems. Haven't tried it in the oven yet but I have confirmed it will fit inside a standard sized oven with the door closed.

It's big and not a real wok!

Purchased a month or so back. Used three or four times.This is a large wide wok. It's proved a bit cumbersome storeage wise.The main issue downside though is that due to the stainless steel manufacture it is recommended by Scanpan only to use over 'medium heat', otherwise food will stick to the surface and become a cleaning issue. Also means you cannot use metal utensils - only wood or silicon otherwise the surface will easily scratch and damage.This defeats the purpose of the true wok, which is to use very high temperatures to quickly stir fry and to obtain that 'authentic' wok flavour. If that's important to you, you will never achieve that with this wok.Due to the large surface area, it still does an ok job, but you do have to cope with 'stewing' rather ... MorePurchased a month or so back.

Lightweight, easy to clean and excellent with induction

We've burned through one non-stick wok every year like clockwork for a number of years. This time I decided to just get a Scanpan stainless steel wok because of the success we've had with the Scanpan Satin frying pan. This wok is excellent, heats up SUPER fast on the induction and gets you cooking right away. Was really easy to clean afterwards with a nylon brush and it's very light-weight compared with other woks we've had.

Scanpan is always my go to

This is just another very user friendly high quality Scanpan product.I have been using Scanpan for 15 years now and never disappointed. I am certainly not with this Wok. This was good value for money and does the job very very well.Is it the very best Wok in the world? Probably not. But with Scanpan you're not paying the dollars some Woks try to demand and I'd defy most of us "Mothers and Fathers" to tell the difference.

So far so good

I have just bought it and used it once to fry somr eggplant.Much nicer size and heat distribution than a standard flat pan.Really made a difference to see my egg plant crispy brown rather than burnt and squashed.

Wok

Great versatile pan for stirfrys soups and pretty much anything. High quality. Even consistent temperature and holds heat without having to have it up on high heat. Will be looking to replace all pots and pans with this brand. Expensive but worth it.

impact wok, lid and scoop

I bought the 28cm wok, lid and stainless steel wok turner. The wok is 2cm larger than the one I had been using (it had a non-stick coating and I'm ditching all the unhealthy pots in my house), and is also a fair bit heavier, which hould be taken into account when you are purchasing, as my mother would struggle to toss this one. I have a scanpan impact frypan, which is what made me buy the wok. No matter what I cook in it - I only have to use either a cloth or a dish brush to clean it. No heavy duty cleaners or scourers to use - I just put some water in them after I have used them, and when I do my dishes in the morning they are easy to clean. I think they would be even easier to clean after dinner the night before, but my habit is to wash up once a day and that is ... MoreI bought the 28cm wok, lid and stainless steel wok turner.

I don't have the heat up high for as long as I used to with other pans to get things going, which also saves energy. I love this range, and have just bought a 10 piece cookware set of the same - impact - as I'm so happy with the frypan and wok, I want all of my cooking experiences to be the same.
