I am one of those people who tends to spend some time in the kitchen, cooking away and sometimes experimenting on food stuff I've never tried before, (this is where a pet dog comes in handy when food experimenting goes slightly wrong as my dog eats almost anything, apart from fish, he just won't touch fish??) Anyway, in my kitchen there is a vast array of many cooking utensils, from manual whisks to hand held blenders, food processors to digital scales and, which I have quite a few of, pots and pans in all shapes and sizes, all being used for certain cooking jobs in the kitchen. One particular pan which I tend to use quite a lot, although calling it a pan ...  Read the complete review

Without my wok I would be lost, I don't know how I ever lived without it. I use it more than any other item in my kitchen. I bought this version not because of Ken Hom but because it was a good sturdy feeling wok that had a flat bottom, this was handy as I had an electric cooker at the time. Without the flat bottom area, I couldn't use it so that was a must when I was buying it. It came with a little booklet with a few recipes in it, not that I have made any of them, sorry Ken. I love my wok for so many reasons, when you use it there is a bit of weight to it which stops it from being too flimsy but also gives you something to grip hold of when cooking and ...  Read the complete review

We bought this wok from Matalan a few years ago and have since been reasonably impressed with it. It is quite large at about 14 inches and is a non stick version. We first chose the wok as it we were sucked in by the designer chef logo as is the intention of the makers. I doubt very much that Ken Hom himself uses this style of wok as it has quite a thick base. The better woks I have used in the past have a thinner base so that you can really get some heat into your pan for stir frying. I have another wok that I bought from a Chinese supermarket and that one's base is probably half the thickness of the Ken Hom one, which makes it much more successful at stir ...  Read the complete review

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 you how to care for the wok and a recipe booklet. The presentation ...  Read the complete review

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 I get through so many of them. However the wok came ...  Read the complete review
