Wok pan Excellent Houseware 35 cm, nonstick frying pan for stir-fry and sauté

The Excellent Houseware 35 cm wok pan is a nonstick frying pan engineered for stir-frying, sautéing and shallow deep-frying. Its wide, rounded base and high sloping sides create an expansive cooking surface that facilitates quick tossing, even heat distribution and reduced splatter. Designed for everyday home cooking, the wok accommodates vegetables, meat, noodles and mixed dishes while fitting most stovetops.

Advantages

The nonstick interior reduces the need for excess oil and helps prevent food from sticking, making cooking and cleaning easier. The large 35 cm diameter and high sides provide ample capacity for stirring and flipping ingredients without spillage. A stable base ensures consistent heating across the surface to support fast, high-heat cooking techniques typical for stir-fry and sauté preparations.

Suitable for

• Stir-frying vegetables, meat and seafood
• Sautéing aromatics and sauces
• Preparing noodle and rice-based dishes
• Shallow deep-frying and browning larger portions
• Everyday family meals and batch cooking

When it may not be suitable

This wok is intended primarily for common stovetop use and quick, high-heat techniques; it may not be ideal for slow braising or recipes that require oven finishing unless the pan’s handle and materials are rated for oven temperatures. Very high-temperature searing over industrial or specialized professional burners could exceed the intended heat limits of the nonstick coating and reduce its lifespan.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 35 cm (cooking surface)
• Shape: Wok-style with high, sloped sides
• Cooking surface: Nonstick coating for reduced sticking and easier cleaning
• Suitable heat sources: Most domestic stovetops
• Primary uses: Stir-fry, sauté, shallow deep-fry, browning

How to use

Preheat the wok over medium to medium-high heat before adding oil to ensure even temperature. Add a small amount of oil and heat briefly until it shimmers, then add ingredients in appropriate order — harder vegetables and proteins first, softer items later — and use a spatula or wok turner to toss and stir rapidly. After cooking, allow the pan to cool before cleaning; wash according to the nonstick manufacturer’s guidance to preserve the coating and maintain performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your stovetop type (gas, electric, ceramic, induction compatibility may vary)
• Verify whether the pan handle and coating are rated for oven use if you plan to finish dishes in the oven
• Consider required care for nonstick surfaces—avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaners
• Ensure the 35 cm size fits your storage space and cooking needs

Usage recommendations

Use silicone, wooden or heat-resistant nylon utensils to protect the nonstick surface, preheat moderately rather than overheating empty, and hand-wash gently to extend the life of the wok and maintain consistent cooking results.
