Rela Wok

[kvalidir]

Hi I bought this Wok today at a fleamarket and it's by far the nicest WOK I ever saw or used, far nicer than our Le Creuset one which set us back £550, but the only mark it has stamped on it is on the bottom and seems to say RELA- I can find absolutely no trace of this online at all so does any foodie soul know if this might stand for something instead of actually being a make or if it's an acronym, as it seems such fantastic quality that I feel it must have a makers name attached to it somewhere. It's heavy cast iron, twin handles ( again cast not wooden) and is really beautiful Thanks in advance. x

They are what Ken Hom recommends.

...and what Ken Hom markets, no doubt...

Bloody hell a woman;'s wok is her own concern- it's similar to this ( my mother's that is) https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/132256525187?chn=ps&dispItem=1&;adgroupid=45860466124&rlsatarget=pla-333692517496&abcId=1129176&adtype=pla&;merchantid=110306957&poi=&googleloc=9045420&;device=c&campaignid=879213977&crdt=0

He doesn't have a monopoly on woks.You don't have to buy his brand.

LOL, hard when you have to explain yourself isn't it?


Glad you're happy with your new purchase Kval, happy cooking.

[gingejbee]

danny...you obviously missed the point of my comment.

[kvalidir]

I'm just amazed, buy whatever wok you want I like my second had £45 one thank you, and will be buying more of their stuff because it's honestly lovely.

[dannyk13]

No IK got the point but in my Ken Hom book he just recommends a steel wok with no mention of his brand.

That £550 wok look remarkably similar to the £190 woks.

It really has wok all to do with anyone else how someone spends their money!

[kvalidir]

Have to agree there Eccles my mum isn't much of a bargain hunter ( not like me I like a bargain and a haggle), she earns her money and jolly well spends it on what she likes :)

[-Talbot-]

er ... it was you who freely gave the information, Kvlad.

[pastafreak]

Good luck in your search for more Relance cookware. I had a Google and it doesn't seem too common here in the UK. Enjoy that wok.

Kval....you have given me a laugh!....

All you wanted was a bit of information on the wok you bought today......and now I imagine the air around you is as blue as your mum's wok with all the comments.....!

Bit like the raised eyebrows I get when I spend £2,000 on a sewing machine...... :-)

[Mamyalynne]

How much ?!?!

[pastafreak]

* thuddddd!!!*

[Mamyalynne]

It's a truth well known that many find the spending habits of others endlessly fascinating - I had a friend who was quite obsessed with the topic.

[kvalidir]

Oooooh I'm always tempted for a nice sewing machine Gness, although I did all my latest costumes on a really cheap Janome, and he did well,didn't cause me any grief at all, and there were a lot of costumes :)

[kvalidir]

Pasta, I've honestly never seen such a quality pan in my life, miles ahead of Le Creuset ( which was my point in mentioning it Talbot), so yeah big Dutch Ebay hunt for them I reckon :)

[melv16]

Well, the op'er got a bit of a self righteous kicking on this thread :-)
