Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Why a Wok? To enjoy Asian cooking at its best you need very high temperatures, and a Carbon Steel Wok is ideal. Carbon Steel heats up quicker than stainless steel and aluminium while also being relatively light to allow easy turning of the food.

Non Stick or Uncoated? Traditionally Woks are uncoated. They are simply seasoned with a little oil before their use and thereafter periodically. The advantage of being uncoated is that higher temperatures can be reached which are in turn transferred directly to the food. On the downside Non Stick coatings make cleaning far easier and helps maintain the appearance of the Wok. If you are a very serious Asian Cook then use uncoated, otherwise Non Stick will make your life easier.

Standard or Heavy Gauge? If you cook regularly then think about a Heavy Gauge option otheriwse a Standard Wok is quite sufficient for your needs.

Accessories? Should you wish to steam in your Wok then two sizes of Bamboo will meet your requirements plus of course 2 sizes of Lid.

Why Swift Spice? Swift Spice is a range designed, developed and manufactured for you, the Asian Cook. With 2 ranges of Woks, uncoated Carbon Steel and Non Stick Carbon Steel, we have a Wok for every occasion and every cook. In addition the tight range of accessories provide for all your requirements and of course the two Sets make for ideal gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant wok, 22 April 2009
For the price I wasn't expecting such a great quality product. It is very nicely made and I am absolutely thrilled with it. My only quibble has nothing to do with the item itself but with the instructions for seasoning it (they didn't work and so I resorted to another method, which did - eventually). I highly recommend this fabulous wok to anyone. One other thing - I wish they wouldn't advertise these as 'carbon steel' woks. Steel by definition has carbon in it - that's what distinguishes it from iron!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what's needed, 11 May 2009
This has proved to be a good purchase. The wok is robust and a suitably heavy duty of steel. It's a good size for general home use - there's not really any point getting a much bigger wok anyway, as the correct cooking style for a wok requires you not to add too much food at one time. In any event, it's easily big enough for most family meals to be cooked in.

It's turned out to be a high quality wok at a very competitive price.

2.0 out of 5 stars It is nearly impossible to season the wok using an induction hob and it ended up being rusty after first use., 22 Jun 2009
By S. Seechurn "Savi" (Wokingham, Berks) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although this wok can be used on induction hobs, it was just not possible for me to season it on my induction hob. The result: ended up rusty after first use and cannot use it.
I suppose that this wok should not be used with induction hobs as it can definitely not be used if not seasoned (properly).
