Rating: - Disgrace to a fine Chinese cooking tool
You never ever use an electric wok to cook Chinese food. It is all about the fire and the intensity of the heat. Only people that use this are people whom have no idea what they're doing. Do yourself a favor and purchase a real wok.

Rating: - Replaced after 25 years
I finally had to replace my West Bend Electic Wok after 25 hard years of use. The wok still worked but the electric cord gave out. I could replace the cord for about $20 but I got to looking at what was a beautiful red wok and it was now faded and the interior was beginning to stick. I figured they may have made a few improvements in that time, so opted to by a new one. It was well worth it. Heats up much faster, cools down quicker, larger cooking surface. Since I have a pantry, it stored in the same space as before. I like the metal lid. It is lighter than my first one so I can lift it with one hand and spoon contents out with the other. The only problem I have is seeing the temperature gauge because of the electrical outlet location in my kitchen. The gauge ends up on the left, under the handle.

Rating: - West Bend Wok
After reading reviews on the wok's available on Amazon[.com], I decided on this Wok due to the ability to put it in the dishwasher. Turns out it is a bit to large to put in my dishwasher, but it is very easy to hand clean. The non-stick surface has lasted, but I am careful to only use plasic or wood, and I wash it with a cloth and soap. It gets to temperature quickly during cooking, the only 'complaint' I have is the simmer cycles (not a constant heat, but on and off). I purchased some Thai cook books, (Real Thai, and Thailand The Beautiful Cook Book) and was amazed with the correct ingredients and a Wok, how easy it is to prepare my favorite food. The difference the wok made- I was able to cook at the correct temperatures. My stove BTU is apparently quite low, it took forever to 'sizzle' so the food turned to mush before it was cooked. I now use the wok for anything I want to cook fast and/or warm up.
