The Breville Hot Wok is a searing high-wall electric wok that works just like a traditional iron wok on a gas range. The butterfly heating element evenly distributes heat up the high wall to 425F (218C) then the heat-responsive aluminum layers maintain this high heat to sear food, bringing real Asian flare to the at-home kitchen. However, not limited to Asian stir-fry, the 15 heat settings can be used for all kinds of meals, including pasta, soups, curries, or scrambled eggs.
