Prior to becoming disabled, he had always used a regular non-electric wok on his gas stovetop. He never washed his wok - just wiped it down to keep it seasoned. He made the best stir fry ever! A stroke messed up his left hand and now he has trouble managing any stove-top pot or pan. Some of the reviews had me a little hesitant but decided to go for it. Turns out this is a great little appliance. Even better, it's a breeze for my disabled roommate to use! He says it's as close to a real "over-a-gas-flame" wok you can get. He actually had to show me how to use it - and now I'm hooked too! It is pretty big so make sure you have someplace to store it when not in use. It's super easy to clean (submersible and dishwasher safe). PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a non-stick wok! But in our opinion, makes for much better tasting food. Best to wash immediately after use with only very mild soap and water. As long as it's still a little hot, anything burned or stuck cleans right up. It comes with a somewhat small wooden cooking utensil but a metal wok spatula works best so you can scrap up all the goodness that sticks to the bottom of the wok during the cooking process. Best of all, it produces Asian food like it came straight from a Chinese/Thai/Japanese/Korean restaurant. Tonight I'm going Mexican and making fajitas which also require high heat to come out right! It gets super hot, super fast and we start it off at around 350 degrees, and turn it up if needed. Always let it pre-heat. When cooking with high heat, always, always, always have your ingredients prepared first. Any hesitation or stopping during the cooking process and the thing will smoke up the house while you scramble around trying to catch up before your smoke alarm goes off. Can't say it enough: ALWAYS have the food prep done way before you start cooking. Wok oil is a must. Depending on what ingredient you start off with first (meat or veggies) always let it heat back up before adding the second batch of ingredients. Haven't tried any deep frying yet, but the same applies. Start with the heat low and adjust accordingly. Only thing missing that would make this product complete is a tempura rack. After a little food prep, at the end of only a matter of maybe 5-10 minutes actual cooking time, you'll have a wonderful meal ready to go! We absolutely love this particular wok and very happy with out purchase. Would definitely recommend! Review: Presto 5900 1500-Watt Stainless-Steel Electric Wok - The good reviews convinced me. Before reading them, I was skeptical that an electric wok could do the stir-frying job, but this one works great so far, hot and fast. Since we are all-electric now, it's been hard using a traditional wok on the flat glass stovetop, in fact I HATE IT. Okay, I'm calm now. This wok gets *very* hot, it's easy to clean and it does not have the non-stick coating. It sits up nicely on its little legs so no worries about damaging the countertop underneath. The cord is short for safety reasons; I just set the wok as close to the downdraft fan on my cooktop as it will go, no problem. Someone mentioned that you need to "get all your ducks in a row" before firing it up, and that is true. If you throw in some chopped garlic and turn your back on it for a minute, the garlic browns before you know it. So have everything ready before you start cooking because you have to move fast. I recommend this wok, have really been enjoying it and hope it lasts a long time. ## Features - Easy-to-use electric wok with a durable stainless-steel body - 1500W heating element; aluminum-clad base for fast, even heating - Side loop handles; tempered-glass cover with stainless-steel rim & handle - Long-handled wooden spatula included; dishwasher-safe wok & lid - Measures 17" x 14" x 10" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0017UTSLY | | Best Sellers Rank | #239,509 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #6 in Electric Woks #4,809 in Pots & Pans | | Brand | Presto | | Capacity | 3 Quarts | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Electric Coil | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,105) | | Date First Available | August 4, 2008 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00075741059006 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Has Nonstick Coating | No | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Dishwasher Safe | Yes | | Is Oven Safe | No | | Item Weight | 6 pounds | | Item model number | 05900 | | Manufacturer | Presto | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Presto 05900 Wok | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Product Dimensions | 17 x 14 x 10 inches | | Shape | Wok | | Special Feature | Electric Stovetop Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 809186274867 722544718363 807032955816 168141478888 102930742378 808111678893 523160781775 014445105336 719918370760 172302702187 666671387347 163120593552 075741059006 808112748380 728639315387 753864138906 115970811362 163120761425 804066828901 110709014328 887677245312 807030499237 168141278518 809185818246 966753128470 763615717601 781147934860 182682343979 172304247259 132017568386 1320182552… | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Presto - **Capacity:** 3 Quarts - **Color:** Silver - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Special Feature:** Electric Stovetop Compatible ## Images ![5900 1500-Watt Stainless-Steel Electric Wok - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-NR91ZMZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the part that touches the food stainless steel or aluminum?** A: The entire wok is stainless steel except the outer bottom casing that houses the electrical heating element, so, stainless steel is all that touches the food. I use this wok about 4 times a week... love it. **Q: What is the highest temperature it will cook?** A: It heats oil to no higher than 350, as measured on a candy thermometer. The temperature control goes to 400, but oil does NOT heat to deep frying temperature. **Q: How long is the electric cord?** A: 30 inches; but I add a 6 foot heavy duty extension cord. **Q: does this work for deep-frying and for cooking curries?** A: I am sorry but I have never deep-fried anything and I don't know anything about cooking curries. I have used it to quickly cook meat (like strips of beef) or vegetables to serve over rice. It works great - is a very simple device. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE IT! *by F***Y on January 7, 2017* Bought this for my roommate who is disabled, but loves to cook.
