Truly Hot Wok
This wok will give crunchy stir frys because not only is it powerful enough but the sides get as hot as the bottom like a proper wok should. Plus it's a steamer, saucepan, fry pan etc.

Modern Wok
Better heat control over the cooking surface, way better previous Woks we have had. Larger size makes Steamer the very useful. Easy to clean.

Its 2400 W output, 218 °C capability and butterfly heating element help with fast, even cooking, while the removable bowl and lid simplify cleanup.

Things to consider
It offers strong versatility and capacity, but it is less specialised than premium induction or chef-focused wok setups and the base cannot go in the dishwasher.
Family cooking suitability
Excellent for family-sized meals and batch cooking thanks to its 8 L bowl and large steaming capacity.
Portability score
6/10 - benchtop-friendly and self-contained, but its large 8 L format is better suited to a permanent kitchen space than frequent moving.
Ease of cleaning rating
8/10 - the removable bowl and lid are dishwasher safe, though the base still needs manual cleaning.
Multi-recipe versatility
9/10 - supports caramelising, simmering, steaming, frying, stir-frying and keeping food warm in one appliance.
Energy efficiency score
6/10 - 2400 W power supports strong cooking performance, but it prioritises high heat and capacity over low-energy operation.
Key benefits
- 8 L Capacity: Handles family-sized meals and larger batch cooking more easily than compact electric frypans.
- 2400 W Heating: Delivers strong heat output for faster preheating and better high-heat stir-frying.
- 218 °C Maximum Temperature: Reaches the high heat needed for searing, browning and quick stir-fry cooking.
- Butterfly Heating Element: Spreads heat up the wok walls for more even cooking across the bowl.
- 6 Cooking Settings: Gives simple control for caramelise, simmer, steam, fry, stir fry and keep warm tasks.
- Stainless Steel Steaming Tray: Lets you steam larger items such as a 2 kg duck, 2 plate-size snappers or 8 pork buns.
- Dishwasher-Safe Bowl and Lid: Reduces cleanup effort after everyday meals and entertaining.
- PFOA-Free Non-Stick Surface: Helps food release more easily and makes hand washing simpler.
Q: Is the Breville The Hot Wok & Steam dishwasher safe?
A: Yes. The removable wok bowl and lid are designed to be easier to clean, but the temperature control probe and power base must stay out of the dishwasher and should only be wiped clean once unplugged and cooled.
Q: Can the Breville The Hot Wok & Steam handle both stir-frying and steaming?
A: Yes. This model is designed for high-heat wok cooking and includes steaming capability, so it suits meals like stir-fries, dumplings and vegetables in one appliance. It is still a benchtop cooker, not a full cooktop replacement.
Q: Is the Breville The Hot Wok & Steam large enough for family cooking?
A: Yes. This electric wok is generally suited to family-sized portions, making it a practical option for batch stir-fries or steamed sides in one go. Capacity can still vary depending on bulky ingredients like noodles, rice or large vegetables.
Q: Does the Breville The Hot Wok & Steam get hot enough for proper wok cooking?
A: Yes. It is built as an electric wok for high-heat cooking, which is important for fast searing and stir-frying rather than just gentle simmering. Like most benchtop woks, results are best when the bowl is preheated and not overcrowded.
