    Advantages Advantages It has lasted longer than the average wok

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None yet...

    I have had many wok's as I like to make stir fry's quite often but I always seem to get wok's in such a mess, the more I use one the worse state I seem to get it in, and more often than not I'll throw it out and buy a new one. A costly business I know, but the state I can get a wok into... I'm sure you would throw it out yourself, if it was your own. ~Ken Hom Wok~ The latest wok I bought, which has quite surprised me as I've had it a while now and still find it useable. It's a 31cm Ken Hom Wok that I bought from Argos, I paid £19.99 for it, which at first I thought was quite steep considering ... more

    Advantages Advantages Works very well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit pricey for a wok

    I don’t like to use frying pans as I prefer using woks. When I moved to Nottingham, my Mum decided I wasn’t allowed to steal her wok so I had to go out and buy a new one. From Argos, I bought a Ken Hom Wok for £19.99. Now, this is a litter pricer than I like to pay for kitchen items as I usually buy Asda or Tesco’s own brand products but considering I knew I would use it a lot, I decided to splash out. The wok itself is 31cm in diameter and it is made from carbon steel. This is also a non-stick wok. The wok comes in a nice box along with a carbon steel lid, bamboo spatula, a leaflet that tells ... more

    Advantages Advantages quick healthy eating

    Disadvantages Disadvantages unlikely to be used regularly

    "New Year New Me", well that was what was supposed to happen. I just had my second baby in December and with Christmas and all I found myself somewhat larger than my usual size. I decided like thousands of others that 2004 was going to be the year I got thin!! Having tried various diets such as Weight Watchers, Atkins, Scottish Slimmers etc I made up my mind to eat more healthily. I really fancied a juicer but my preferred make, the Anthony Worral Thomson Breville Juicer comes in at around £90 so I decided on the somewhat cheaper Ken Hom Wok at £14.99 from my local Argos. I had always been ... more

    Advantages Advantages Tasty food, good way of cooking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    It's not often I do a stir fry but when I do I always pull out my Ken Hom wok. A wok is a is a versatile round-bottomed cooking vessel originating in China. It is used especially in East and Southeast Asia. You can use a wok for other styles of Chinese cooking also but I am so not that adventurous and so I only use it for a stir-fry but it is great when it comes to making this quick, low fat meal. This wok was yet again another gift from our John Lewis wedding list. They sell a number of Ken Hom woks but this one seemed the simpliest and easiest to use. I think it was also one of the cheapest ... more

    Advantages Advantages You can cook anything in it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit on the heavy side

    Well low and behold someone finally took the hint that I needed a new wok, and santa brought it. This is the second ken hom wok that I have owned. The first one I got was when I was 15 and that was 10 years ago, and I have only just thrown it out, as it was starting to rust. So I was very pleased when I received this for christmas. It is not often that something I own lasts any length of time but 10 years is good. Lets start with how durable this wok is. Now I use my wok for everything, and when I say everything I mean everything. I make stir fry's, soup, mince, stew and I even use it to deep ... more
