where can I find an electric wok?

Duck Soup

Does anyone know where I can get an electric wok? There's no gas supply in my apartment. My g/f is a Thai chef who likes to make noodle dishes etc at home. Usually she uses an electric wok, which she replaces (the coating tends to go after a while) regularly with a new one from Argos. Argos always had at least one on offer, either Energi or Rosemary Conley brand - in truth, they were exactly the same wok with different labels.

Now Argos no longer does them. I found one a few years ago downstairs in Clery's, but they've discontinued them as a line now as well. Long story short - current electric wok is on its last legs and I can't find a new one anywhere in Dublin. Even the catering companies, like Nisbets, don't have such a thing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks guys.

If you are happy to purchase online you could try Anthony Ryan's.

You might consider an induction heater, so you are not having to replace the whole thing when the coating goes.

They have rounded ones especially for authentic woks, but they are pricey

it is 3kW, I think most electric woks are 1.5kW, so a 3kW would be great as I expect a thai chef would want max power available

Thanks THB and rubadub. I've shown her both of your suggestions and also managed to find an eBay seller who delivers the Rosemary Conley woks to the RoI. Chef is now currently weighing up her options. Thanks again!
