Alfresco 22″ Commercial Wok — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Alfresco 22″ Commercial Wok for?
The Alfresco 22″ Commercial Wok is a round-bottom wok accessory designed primarily for Alfresco’s VersaPower outdoor cooking system (AXEVP), enabling stir-fry, sauté, and high-heat wok cooking outdoors.
What are its dimensions, material, and weight?
It’s made of stainless steel (or carbon steel version in some listings) and measures 22 × 22 in with an approximate height of 8 in. The wok weighs around 10 lb.
How do I install and use it with the Alfresco VersaPower system?
To use the wok, remove the center ring or spider grate from the VersaPower burner, then drop the round-bottom wok into place so it sits securely. This allows you to use the burner’s full heat on the wok.
Can I use the wok on other burners or grills?
While it’s optimized for the VersaPower system, many users do employ it on other high-heat burners or side burners, as long as the wok is supported and centered safely. However, performance may vary.
How should I care for, clean, and maintain this wok?
After use and once cooled, wash it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, avoiding harsh abrasives that may scratch the surface. Dry thoroughly to prevent spotting or corrosion. Regular seasoning (if it’s carbon steel) can improve nonstick performance.
What are limitations or things to watch out for?
The round bottom design requires stable mounting—if not properly seated, it may wobble. Also ensure that your burner can supply adequate heat across the circular base. In some grills or setups, lid clearance or burner geometry might limit use.
