Customer Experiences and Insights
This wok has garnered a significant amount of attention and praise from users for its versatility and performance. The unanimous highlight is its ability to retain heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for high-heat cooking like stir-frying, searing, and making sauces. Users appreciate the smooth, non-reactive surface that allows for easy cleaning and prevents sticking, especially when using appropriate utensils. Many note that despite its affordability, the build quality is robust, with few complaints about surface scratches or rivets protruding into the cooking area. The included glass lid is frequently highlighted as a nice touch, allowing users to monitor cooking progress while sealing in flavors.
The handles have been a point of discussion, with some expressing concerns about the rivet construction potentially being a long-term durability issue. However, the overall consensus leans towards this being a minor compromise for the remarkable performance at a modest price point. Compatibility with various cooktops,including induction,is another keyword,although caution is advised for induction users regarding the flatness of the bottom over time.The 24cm (approximately 9.4 inches) size is also frequently lauded as ideal for small to medium households, fitting well for one to two people. Users are generally unanimous in their recommendation,particularly for those who love cooking dishes requiring high-heat precision.
From a real-world perspective, the wok excels in delivering restaurant-quality results at home. The tri-ply construction ensures even heat distribution, preventing hot spots crucial for uniform cooking and reducing the chance of burning food. The 18/10 food grade stainless steel is considered premium, offering a non-reactive surface safe for acid-based foods and easy to maintain. Users have reported excellent results cooking everything from traditional Chinese stir-fries to scrambled eggs and even making pasta in a pinch, showcasing the pan's adaptability. The weight, being sturdy yet not overly cumbersome, is another positive aspect noted by many. While not aiming for the ultra-premium status of brands like Demeyere, this wok stands out for its balanced performance, ease of use, and attractive aesthetics, offering remarkable value for the cost.

Chefman Air Fryer – 4 QT compact Airfryer for Quick & Easy Meals, Features Hi-Fry Technology for Extra Crisp, Easy-View Window, Touch Controls with 4 Presets, Nonstick & Dishwasher Safe Basket - Black
Last week, I was excited at how great this air fryer worked. It did an excellent job on salmon, chicken wings, chicken breasts, green beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, etc. I thought I found a miracle machine. Perfect size, easy to use, easy to clean, but today, I was cooking chicken pieces and the plastic near the top cracked severely. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was hoping this machine would last at least a few years but it only lasted nine days.
update: Customer service at Chefman quickly resolved the problem and replaced my air fryer. The new fryer is working perfectly fine. I'm enjoying using this in my kitchen. This was the best customer service I've experienced in a long time.
Lo máximo
As I have it, I hardly use the oven or the pan. Cook quickly, without oil and with an excellent flavor. Perfect for crispy fries, roasted vegetables and even chicken.Easy to clean and very intuitive to use.
It cooks great!
It's not heavy and easy to store. I was going to get a deep fryer, but happy that I got the air fryer! I would recommend this to anyone! I love the speed! Rather of heating the oven (and waiting for it). It's so much faster to cook in this! this a great size for us! Very convenient.it also stays cool on the bottom.
