    Who is Ken Hom? And why is he blue like an Octopus?

    • +3

      He’s the cook down at my local Noodle Box. The one that only does the noodles and doesn’t serve at the counter. Good bloke

    • +2

      He's da genie in a wok!

    • +1

      Ha ha ha Dude that one killed me

    • Somebody messaged me that he is the son of the South Melbourne Dim Sims guy.

      Just like the Wiggles has offshoots all around the world, seems so does The Blue Man Group….

    Just bought a 16" round base carbon steel wok from the asian grocer last week, $18. Seasoned and cooked with it a few times and it's completely non stick. No need to pay this money, flat bottom woks are nonsense anyway you might a well use a fry pan. You want the real wok hei and cooking experience then get a Rambo burner off ebay and a cheap wok from the asian grocer.

        I was told by Uncle Roger a flat bottom wok is not a wok.

        • +2

          Did you really @UncleRoger?

      • +1

        Sorry where are these burnt particulates coming from?

      • Bit dramatic

      • +2

        This is from the same poster who thinks a filter that can filter PM2.5 particles is unable to filter PM10

      Flat bottomed woks, you make the wokking world go 'round.

      What is 'wok hei'. Is it some kind of kung Fu?

      • Wok Fu

        When burners are measured in 10Ks of BTUs

      Flat bottom serves a purpose. If you want to get into the science behind it, go to serious eats with kenji Lopez Alt. I won't do it justice suffice to say it is the way to go.

        Makes me feel like they're holding on to the wok even though they know the fry pan is indisputably better.

        • +1

          indisputably better - cite your source mate.

            @slowmo: This is ozbargain, I'll go with emotion…. thanks all the same.

            PS: I'm a quarter Asian and use the wok almost daily. Some level of sarcasm above.

        • Sure, if the frying pan is thin and allows quick heat conduction and curves far upwards to allow you to toss upwards and expose food aerosols to flame.

    Cant see this being a deal….

  • +2

    this looks cursed

  • +4

    Nahhh not gonna buy this. I don't want to turn blue after 3 months of using this wok.

  • +2

    That image is going to haunt me..

    Just dropped by for a hit of casual racism.

      Here you go

      Ken Hom Karbon Stee Wok is an unusual name for someone but the 3.6 inch "handle" checks out

  • +2

    This one is huge. The one I have is 30cm and plenty for the home kitchen. I got it off kogan for ~32 shipped.

  • +1

    Would buy if this came pre-seasoned.

    I hate seasoning woks. Yeah I know it's relatively easy to do but my gas hob just doesn't get to the temp needed to do it efficiently and the hardwired smoke alarms go off across the house and the family spends half an hour waving tea towels madly like some sort of religious frenzy.

    And I don't have a BBQ that can do it outdoors.

      Several years ago, a mate of mine asked his local Chinese takeaway if they'd season his new wok for him. They happily obliged.

      I'm not sure how friendly you'd need to be but it's an idea which wouldn't have occurred to me!

      • -3

        Did your mate speak Chinese?

        • As far as I know, only what's printed on the menu in English.

  • sold out by the way

  • This is of no use without a flame I suppose?

    I bought this years ago because it was the only one at Victoria's basement. It has served me really well for over 5 years. I can't bring myself to vote this up though because it says less than half this price when I got it yet nothing about the product has changed. I agree that you should just go to an Asian grocer if you can.

  • For those who missed out Kmart also has a carbon steel wok that though a tad smaller is quite serviceable (when seasoned). $23 and has worked well for me on an induction cooktop.

    Not sure why they call it an iron wok on the sticker - but is definitely carbon steel and construction is good.

  • Aldi sold a wok recently as part of their lunar NY celebrations. Was only twenty dollars and very handy for the price. We've been using it and we're pretty impressed, bang for buck.

    Many may already know that if a magnet sticks to the bottom of whatever metal you're using to cook (saucepan/wok/frypan) it's OK to use on an induction cooktop…the latest versions of which heat up very quickly.
