Amazon.com Review
The Breville gourmet wok updates the electric wok design in every detail. For starters, its 1500-watt butterfly element is recessed around the base to create a heat zone over the entire surface--excellent conditions for quick searing and stir-frying. The variable heat probe includes 14 settings plus "high sear" for precise control, and the 14-inch-diameter die-cast wok bowl is roomy enough to handle whatever's ready in the garden. Designed for simpler clean-up, scratch-resistance, and reduced-fat cooking, the wok's surface is a four-ply Quantanium coating, combining titanium-reinforced mid-coats with a durable nonstick exterior. The glass lid is satisfyingly heavy with a stainless-steel rim and a convenient steam vent. The most striking difference between this and your old electric wok is the quick-release base that lets you put everything but the temperature probe and power cord in the dishwasher. Breville also includes a temperature indicator light, a booklet of recipes and tips, and a plastic spatula. --Emily Bedard

 Handy helper! January 2, 2009
This is a great product, especially for someone who loves to cook with a wok and doesn't have a gas stove top!
This wok heats up extremely quickly and cooks food evenly.
The bowl is easy to twist off for cleaning and you don't have the hassle of seasoning it as with a regular wok.
The only problem I have with it is that I am fearful of scratching it with a metal spatula!
This is the one and the best wok! December 10, 2008

As another reviewer noted, an electric stove is not useful with a wok. I bought this Breville two weeks ago and am amazed at its quality. The heat levels and searing are as if the wok was on a gas stove. This wok is perfect. Cleaning is very easy. If you need it, get it and you will enjoy using it every time.

As you know you can't use a regular wok with electric stove top, I have been using a 12-inch nonstick pan on my smooth glass top stove. I needed 2 hands, one for stirring the other holding the pan from spinning around, which was a pain. Now, I just plug this baby in and have a ball. This appliance is so well made and a pleasure to use. So far, I have only used it for stir frying, however you can use it for other recipes according to its booklet and sample recipes, like soups and curries. Its big and if you don't have room to store it, you may have to lease space somewhere ;-) This is the next best thing to cooking with gas. It gets very hot, you need to preheat it empty, then have your ingredients ready and in a matter of a few minutes you have dinner ready. Easy to clean. You can put it in the dishwasher, not the base it comes apart, but the bowl is so large, it would take up most of the space in the dishwasher, but why bother its so easy to clean up by hand. It is heavy and very sturdy, so you can stir fry using one hand and the other you can pour your ingredients into it. Even the plug design is impressive, they design it with a hole in it making it convenient to pull the plug from the outlet, and they included a handy level that you squeeze to release it from the base without having a tug-of-war with the thing. Well made product. Fun and easy to use. It came with a plastic paddle but I recommend using a wooden one so it won't scratch the nonstick surface. If you love stir fry, you will love this wok. Also, I recommend Chinese Rice and Noodles by Su-Huei Huang and Mu-Tsun Lee, great book, your family will say its better than take-out!"
The ultimate bachelor cooking appliance? October 9, 2008

If you're lazy and tend to eat a lot of frozen or junk food, you should really give this a try instead.
Just turn it on and you have 10 minutes to start slicing up up meat and vegetables. Since the meat is sliced thin, it'll marinade very quickly. Then when it's heated up, just throw everything in at once. The food will start cooking furiously and you basically just slide it around and flip it for 2-3 minutes and it's done. The meat will be juicy and the vegetables al dente.
It cooks so hot and fast that it's actually thrilling. All you really need is a knife, spatula and cutting board, so cleanup is quick and easy.
This is an incredible WOK! October 6, 2008

I had a cheaper version of a WOK that was "supposed" to be made from something that would allow the ingredients not to stick. That was a JOKE. This WOK is simply the best. You can put anything in there and it will not stick, even on high heat. It has such a wide range of temp variations! It is very sturdy, which some have viewed as a downfall, but it's not THAT heavy. It is hard to wash if you detach the base, but I just wash without submerging the electrical part and it cleans right up.
The WOK cooks incredibly well and quickly. I love, love, love this thing!! Great investment!!
