Vario gas wok 200 series - VG 231
The Gaggenau VG 231 special gas wok has been developed especially for those who enjoy a little Asian influence in their cooking. It is not only perfect for the traditional Chinese round-bottomed wok, it also comfortably accommodates flat-bottomed woks and other large and robust pots and pans. The giant gas burner of the Gaggenau 200 series has a maximum output of 5000 W and uses three heat sources, a central, an inner and an outer ring, simultaneously. It delivers excellent results with the quick braising and stewing steps common in Chinese and Asian cookery and performs equally well boiling, steaming, searing and frying as required for more international cuisine. The VG 231 provides flexibility as well as raw power and includes a special low-heat mode starting at just 250 W, so you can also use it with smaller pans just like a conventional gas cooktop.

Vario gas wok - VG 231: Features
Super high-output three-ring burner
With a maximum power of 5000 W, this special gas wok is a powerful beast. Effectively tamed by a superfine regulation mechanism, it´s as happy at a gentle simmer as a vigorous boil. The gas burner features three rings of different sizes arranged concentrically, so that the VG 231 offers output levels ranging from 250 to 5000 W in a single cooktop, ideal for rapid stir-frying in a large wok. The VG 231 has room even for large pots and pans measuring up to 32 cm in diameter, and its cleverly-designed layout ensures that the precisely regulated heat is evenly distributed over large areas.

SuperQuick electric and safety thermocouple ignition
Depress and hold the appropriate control knob and then release it once the gas is alight – ignition could hardly be simpler. A thermoelectric safety pilot keeps the gas burning during cooking and automatically blocks the gas supply once the flame is out.
