Steve Müller lived in Asia for several years and got to know and love the healthy cooking with a wok.In this, the thought ripened that every person should enjoy the Asian eating culture - but the matter had a catch: "The traditional cooking with a wok is very complex - I wanted to invent something that makes it easier and without electricityWorks. So everyone can: R always and everywhere simply prepare healthy and delicious dishes without having to be a wok professional. "Driven by this idea, the 41-year-old engineer developed a mobile cooking system: Dewok.
Dewok: That is behind it
The transportable cooking system is available as a double set for up to four people or as a single set for up to two people. We tested the latter: included in the scope of delivery, a small woof pan, a cooking frame, a safety burner (including fire lid), a wooden spoon and suitable burning gel with bio-ethanol. According to the manufacturer, you do not need electricity for commissioning, so Dewok can be used anywhere - not only at home, but also in the garden, camping or on the beach. But what exactly should you prepare in it? Steve Müller is convinced that his invention can be used for cooking and steaming, roasting and "woks". It does not matter whether you want to prepare Asian vegetables or meat, raclette or scrambled eggs. But what exactly is the peculiarity? "The structure and selection of the materials are specially coordinated and the perfect temperature distribution in the pan should be able to cook vitamin and nutrient-rich," is the official explanation.
Practical test: This is how Dewok works
Before Dewok could be put into operation, the burner had to be filled with burning gel up to half - after all, the system does not require a power connection.Then it was placed in the middle under the cooking frame and the burning gel it contains with a match.Only then did the pan be placed in the deepening of the natural stone plate and heated.To fry fresh ingredients, the instructions recommended that a sunflower, peanut or rapeseed oil.We held that.For the practical test, various wok vegetables with rice in the pan were briefly fried by us and seasoned with a teriyakis sauce (which we prepared separately).And so the result looked:
Conclusion: Could Dewok convince?
Basically, Dewok works like any other pan.However, it took much longer for the heat to distribute itself evenly - which, in view of the small flame under the pan, is not surprising.However, the short cooking times promised by the manufacturer could not be observed.Which would not be tragic in itself if you are not hungry.However, if it has to be quick, cooking with Dewok becomes a real test of patience.In addition, the pan should be enough for two hungry mouths.However, our test has shown that the content could just be fed up with one person.Here, too, you have to plan more time or prepare your food in several portions in a row, similar to the raclette.
And what is our conclusion?All in all, the invention is not particularly innovative, but also not bad.The materials and the design look very high quality, which certainly also explains the not very affordable price.The question is whether you really need Dewok on the go.We would probably continue to rely on a gas cooker that does not need any electricity and can be used outdoors.
Dewok received prominent support
Steve Müller was not only looking for an investor, but also for a strategic partner: "Even if I work through all day, I am getting to my limits. I am not a person who then pulls the handbrake, but would like to continueGo ahead. I need a partner who supports me with his team. "He received prominent support from his pitch from TV star chef Christian Lohse, who is already a confessing fan of Dewok.
