Kipa wok pan
« on: August 08, 2012, 22:44:43 PM »
The wok pan for 7.90 TL in Kipa is dangereous for your health. We made a shrimps dinner this evening , but realised some black particles in the food. First it looked like some burnt spices , but when we took the food into our plates , we saw that the black paint of the pan had dissolved and particles of paint were in our food.

We've bought one too, used it first time tonight and didn't notice coating on food but noticed it's ome off when washing up.
Really  disappointed as it's a great size and seemed good value


Are you going to takes yours back?

All iron/steel woks need to be seasoned before use and the ones they sell in Kipa have a protrctive coating on to prevent rusting, this needs to be removed before use.  Have a look here for more info...

I'll go to Kipa and ask for an explanation. There was no warning or user guide etc describing seasoning. We bought 2 pans , both of their inner surfaces scratched differently. The shrimps we used was more expensive than the pan itself. The effort to prapare the food in this heat was no pleasure. As you finally take the food to your plates and think you can finally eat , you see coating particles in your food.

I don't think I would be pleased with just returning the woks and get back my money. This is playing with peoples's health. If they don't have a proper explanation , I will make official complaints.

I agree, they should come with some instructions, but if they did it would probably be in Turkish. I wish you luck with Kipa as their customer service is terrible...

This is just the visible part. Who knows what chemicals also the coating particles contain. Made in China or PRC means "be carefull" to me , but I did not buy it from the market , I bought it from Kipa/Tesco. There should be a difference and I expect from them proper testing before selling.

Yesterday I gave back the pans and got back my money. They said , that there have been some complaints before , however they still did not withdraw the items from sale. I warned them again , I would complain wherever possible and I will do so.

If you want a decent wok the small kitchen shop at the rear of the fish market has them. Good size, heavy steel wok with wooden handle, about 20 TL...
