The difference between a 7 kW and a 12 kW Gas Stove - Wok Burner
The difference between a HOT WOK Original 7 kW and a HOT WOK PROFESSIONAL 12 kW Wok Burners No matter what, you get a unique heating effect with both the 7 kW and 12 kW Gas stove and Wok Burners. They are two of the most powerful Gas Stoves on the market. You must get a gas stove with a high heating effect when you want to grill and not boil food. With a 12 kW Gas Stove, you get lots of power – and you can always turn it down. The 5 kW extra, you get with a 12 kW Gas Stove rather than a 7 kW Gas Stove, is useful if you want to use it for something else than wok/the big wok pan. For instance, if you want a big pot of water or soup to boil quickly. We use a HOT WOK 12 kW PROFESSIONAL gas stove when we cook for more than 4 people at a time (for 2-4 people vi use the Silver Line model with 4,5 kW and the small wok pan). That is also useful as a Gas Stove indoors. A HOT WOK gas stove with 12 kW and the big 35 cm wok pan just go well together. The gas stove does not care if it’s a bit windy and can keep the heat on the wok pan etc. The 7 kW gas stove needs to work a bit of overtime – but can in principle do the work. To compare all this with kW, effect, etc. we can explain how your normal stove performs – induction/ceramic: 2,2 ~ 2,4 kW. The secret to make great wok recipes is the heat and the frying. The water should be sautéed away and will give the ingredients a very different taste than by boiling them. The price is not that different. Therefore, we recommend you choose the 12 kW gas stove even though the 7 kW could be enough. Our sale statistics show that most people choose the 12 kW gas stove – but then again, we also sell a lot of the 7 kW gas stoves and Wok Burner.
HOW TO: Maintenance of your HOT WOK Gas Stove – Cast iron
A HOT WOK gas stove is made of cast iron. With the weather in Europe, you must keep in mind that cast iron can rust. Even though the gas stove might get some rust it still works impeccably. However, we do have a few tricks if you want the gas stove to look perfect. Has your HOT WOK gas stove gotten rust or grease stains? Then we have a very simple trick: use some cooking oil. It can be sunflower oil or peanut oil – whatever you normally use for cooking. Take a couple of pieces of paper towel and put the oil on it. Wipe the gas stove on all surfaces with the paper. You would quickly be able to see how far along you are and where you still need to wipe. After 5-10 minutes you can wipe the oil off with some clean paper towels and the gas stove should be clean and shiny again – without being greasy and transferable. If it isn’t you can wipe it with clean paper towels again. Even though you treat your gas stove with some kind of surface treatment, we still recommend that you take the gas stove inside a dry room, shed, or likewise, where the stove won’t be exposed to the changing weather and temperatures.
