A WMF 36 cm induction wok set can take the place of several kitchen tools. The wok, lid, steaming insert and roasting rack can be used for stir-fries, steamed vegetables, fish, meat and deep-fried dishes. To make sure it’s a practical choice for your home, check the size, material, hob compatibility and accessories carefully before you buy.
A 36 cm diameter gives you plenty of room, but the hob’s heated area is smaller. According to the product information, the base of the WMF Macao Wok is designed for cooking zones of around 22 cm in diameter. The rim is considerably wider than the heated base. This is useful for tossing and spreading out ingredients, but it also means you should add them in batches to avoid letting the temperature drop too much.
An induction wok needs a magnetic base and a suitable contact area. For everyday use, it’s also worth checking whether it works on gas, electric and ceramic hobs. A wok for all hob types gives you more flexibility if you move house or use different kinds of hob.
The TransTherm universal base makes the WMF Macao Wok compatible with different hob types. According to the product description, the set is suitable for induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs.
A glass lid, steaming insert and roasting rack are only an advantage if they fit securely and you use them regularly. A basic wok without accessories may be cheaper and easier to store. But if you want to steam food, keep it warm and let it drain, a four-piece wok set gives you more ways to cook with one product.
A stainless steel wok pan has no coating and, according to the product information, is suitable for high temperatures. The Cromargan stainless steel used for the WMF Macao Wok is 18/10 stainless steel. It is described as rust-resistant, neutral in taste and dishwasher-safe.
Uncoated stainless steel does, however, need to be handled properly:
A coating can help prevent food from sticking, but some coatings are more sensitive to high temperatures. For traditional high-heat frying and frequent tossing, the material and care instructions matter more than claims about “professional” cooking.
According to the WMF Macao Wok product information, the wok pan is heat-resistant up to 250 °C, or up to 180 °C with the glass lid on. Keep these limits in mind when frying and steaming. A glass lid is mainly for keeping an eye on your food and cooking it gently, not for uncontrolled heating.
The WMF Macao Wok has a diameter of 36 cm, a stated capacity of 4.5 litres and a height of around 9.75 cm. This size gives you plenty of room to cook several portions. Before buying, check:
A large wok isn’t automatically practical if your hob, sink or storage space is too small.
Why it suits this type of buyer: The 32 cm version is slightly more compact than a 36 cm wok, which may make it a better fit for smaller households or limited storage space. It comes with a metal lid and an adjustable steam vent.
Its three-layer construction, with stainless steel, an aluminium layer and an outer stainless steel layer, is clearly described. This makes it easier to assess the materials than broad, unsupported quality claims would.
32 cm diameter, TransTherm base, uncoated stainless steel construction, and suitable for induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs.
Why it suits this type of buyer: This set pairs a large stainless steel wok pan with a glass lid, steaming insert and roasting rack. It’s designed for households that want one piece of cookware to handle several cooking methods.
The diameter, capacity, temperature limits and included accessories are all clearly specified. That makes it less likely you’ll buy a large wok that isn’t right for the way you plan to use it.
Cromargan 18/10 stainless steel, 4.5-litre capacity, glass lid, steaming insert, roasting rack and dishwasher-safe components, according to the product information.
Why it suits this type of buyer: If you cook frequently and want to handle traditional cooking tasks as well as wok dishes, this pan set is a useful addition rather than a direct substitute for a wok.
This choice helps you avoid buying a wok for tasks that really call for saucepans. The glass lids, steam vent and range of sizes are all documented for everyday cooking.
Four Cromargan stainless steel pieces, glass lids with steam vents, TransTherm universal base and dishwasher-safe components, according to the product description.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force across the EU.
A dishwasher-safe wok makes cleaning easier, but you’ll still need to take a few precautions. Remove any large food scraps before loading it into the dishwasher. According to the product information, the glass lid and stainless steel components can go in the dishwasher. For an even finish, it’s still worth washing them by hand occasionally with mild washing-up liquid.
With induction, a medium to high setting is usually enough to preheat the wok. Then adjust the heat to suit the ingredients. Don’t leave the wok empty on the highest setting for an extended period. Use suitable oven gloves when handling hot handles, lids and inserts.
Not necessarily. It depends on the size of the magnetic wok base and the usable cooking zone. For the WMF Macao Wok, a cooking zone of around 22 cm is stated as suitable. Compare the manufacturer’s specifications for your hob and wok.
The WMF Macao Set is described as dishwasher-safe, including the wok, glass lid and accessories. Always follow the instructions for your specific product. Hand-washing with a mild detergent can help keep the visible surface in good condition over time.
There’s no reliable way to give a fixed lifespan. It depends on temperature control, cleaning, storage and physical wear. An uncoated Cromargan stainless steel wok doesn’t have a traditional non-stick coating that can peel off when scratched. However, warping, severe overheating or damaged handles can still make it unsafe to use.
