billytheghillie Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Looking for a decent Wok ( £30 or so ) the above gets mixed reviews. Anybody use one? Dont want one of those non stick jobbies as i have tried quite a few and they are carp. Or can you recommend a guid yin? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Buy from Ikea. Good quality, cheap, expect to replace it because nothing’s that well-manufactured anymore, but their stuff’s pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Good call, looked at a few supermarkets online and they are a lot cheaper £10-£15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobydog Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Just another tip the guy at the supermarket said never wash it , you should be able to clean it with just kitchen paper. Helps keep it to stay seasoned. Used it for loads of stuff and probably twice a week on a regular basis. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 (edited) I have an Indian kadai/karahi similar in some ways to a wok. Because I am on induction, I need a suitable one so use stainless steel with an aluminium sandwich from VINOD. Seasoning needed, and once seasoned can be washed, but no detergent or abrasives. May be a bit more than you are looking to pay, but they do several sizes etc. https://vinodcookware.uk/products/vinod-platinum-triply-stainless-steel-kadai-with-lid I find that the carbon steel ones designed for gas (but with a flattened bottom to make then 'induction compatible') - the heat doesn't spread up the sides well enough. These triple layer ones are better, but still not as good as carbon steel used on gas. Edited February 11 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
