THe chineswe chefs use a techqiue to boil water faster first they preheat the wok then add pre heated water. This will not crack the wok. I have tested it using hot water added to a very hot wok and it boils rapidly immediatly. I have never added cold water though
what is the highest btu rating you can use safely indoors with an average sized and normal ventilation. obviously i know you can run these indoors with a forced air intake and outake ventilation system but you have to have a large sized kitchen to handle that amount of combustion. so what is the maximum reccomended btu rating for average sized home kitchen without the pro ventilation system? would 9 kw or maybe 15kw be safe with the windows and doors open.
@210482fmj Hi there! The highest BTU rating you can safely use indoors is 30,000 BTUs (for the home). 30,000 BTUs should be the maximum and this works fine without a pro ventilation system. We don't recommend that you go above that. Regarding your 9kw vs. 15kw: that refers to electric woks, which Robert Yick Company don't make. Since it's not our area of expertise, we don't want to give you any inaccurate information. Hope this helps!
Can you showcase your Drop in home wok unit? I think there will be quite a lot of demand. Wondering how it works, BTU rating, safety etc. So far the only one I found is BlueStar, but rated at 22K BTU. Would your home wok unit work with residential gas line? Sorry asking so much question, any video info about the unit would be appreciated. Thanks!
@BackOnElectone That's a fantastic idea. We will definitely make a video showcasing our home wok unit. Right now we're in the process of updating our drop-in wok. However, I want to leave you with some information about our "Professional Home Wok Range" (RYC 168). This wok is a "slide-in," compared to a drop-in. It uses 25,000 BTUs and is CSA certified.
@robertyickcompany No problem i just got one myself. Amazed with the cooking capability compared to others. I want to use one like the one shown in the vid
@johnaldIV glad to hear that! We used a certified commercial wok (for a restaurant), which is more powerful than a home wok. Home woks tend to range from 25,000-30,000 BTUs, whereas this commercial wok uses 150,000 BTUs (6x more BTUs). Home woks are fantastic -- they just use fewer BTUs for safety reasons & cooking needs. We like your cooking ambitions!
@robertyickcompany Wait, 25,000-30,000 BTUs sound like standard BTUs for ranges in regular commercial kitchens. I think home ranges are much lower. The 4th back burner is like 7,000 while the average is like 10,000.
@GhostPirate6 for the home unit wok range, 25,000-30,000 BTUs is normal. Our home woks are CSA certified at those BTUs. Perhaps you are referring to the stove of an American range for the home? If you have more questions, don't hesitate to email me at ayick@yickcompany[dot]com

Key safety features:
Each wok is individually tested before shipment
Electronic ignition switch
Push and turn safety knob
Video soon to come!

@alauren26 Yes, actually I did mean the regular American range for the home. Sorry for the confusion.
