Wok and Roll

Instead of my weight loss updates, tonight I'm going to be posting a product review. For a little back story, my husband and I have been wanting a wok pretty much since we got married (almost 2 years!). We never really made it a priority to get one because for one, we didn't know how often it would be used and two, we didn't know if we had enough room in our cabinets to store it. Our interests in having one went on a hiatus for a while. However, a couple of weeks ago, we started discussing it again. I decided to start looking online at the cost of one. Some were relatively cheap but WOW, some were around $200. We obviously weren't looking to spend a small fortune on a wok, so I looked at target. They had one that looked good and was a 7 piece set. I had pretty much decided this was the wok for us.

On one of my Target trips, I decided to breeze through the kitchen section. I came across the area where all of the woks were and saw that they had the one that I had looked at on the Internet. I text my husband just to be sure that it was still OK if I bought it, and it was. The wok we chose is the IMUSA 7 piece wok set. It comes with a wok, a tempura rack (grill? I'm not sure what to call it), and many bamboo utensils to use. The wok is made of a very nice, sturdy material that is easy to handle as well.

Now for the review, OH MY GOODNESS. I really can't say enough about this wok. It cooks like a dream! It barely takes any time to heat up or cool down and clean up is so easy! I have made so many meals with this thing that I have lost count. It's so easy to whip up a nice, healthy meal in barely any time. And clean up? Its barely existent. The instructions (which also gives a couple of recipes!) tells you to never leave food in it when its not cooking. So, as soon as I get done cooking, I empty the food out, get a dry paper towel, and wipe any debris or grease that's left. With a wet paper towel, I come back through and give it a good wiping out. That's all it takes. You are supposed to use warm, soapy water to clean it, but I find that since I use it so much, the paper towel system works great.

I highly recommend this wok to anyone is who looking for a relatively cheap, nice option. I can't rave enough about this product and intend on buying the smaller version, their bamboo steamer, and may a couple of other things from their line as well. Thanks for reading!
