Quick and easy char koay teow using TOKIT portable induction cooker | induction cooking for stir fry

TOKIT sent me their latest portable induction cooker, Razor Induction Cooker, to review. I want to keep it real. Straight out of the box. Plugged it in and cooked for the first time without any practice run. What you see in this video is the first time I have used this product to cook my favourite Penang street food called "Char Koay Teow" which is a stir fry flat rice noodle. It requires high heat to achieve that "wok hei" in the stir fry.

Great presentation, I have a Tokit induction cooktop in my campervan and run it from a Lithium Battery and a 2000 watt inverter, works great and absorbs little power.

Thank you. I’ve always wonder how it will work in a campervan. Thanks for sharing your comment with the viewers. Cheers, Victor

I truly enjoy your food channel. I used to live in Penang and following your video brings back many fond memories (when I was a child). Miss my parents! Thank you

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Very happy to hear my channel brings back some fond memories for you. Thank you ☺️

[@obasan6788]

I always follow your recipe and it's delicious. I'm gonna try this too. Thank you for the recipe

[@foodtripwithvictor]

You’re welcome. Hope you enjoy making this recipe 😊 Cheers, Victor

Hey Victor. Good to see you back to cooking again! Electric cooker, dragon no breath! I notice that the that there are specialised induction cookers for woks, but they are crazy expensive. Best wishes.. JD

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Thank you JD. Yes induction cooking can be crazily expensive. When I first used induction in early 2000, which was still relatively new, I renovated our kitchen and installed induction stovetop. I had to buy new wok specifically designed for induction cooking, endorsed by Kylie Kwong. It costs me $500+ for that wok and lid!! 😂

my favorite food is char koew tiaw.. wish can taste yours one day 😅

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Thank you 🙏

28% - 588 watt starts to heat up oil, but need a few minutes to come to heat 32% - 672 watt slowly cooking - resting meals, soups till they are done.... 42% - 882 watt ideal cooking temperature to roasting meals For van campers cooking on solar stations is 42 % important, so with 800 wat solar panels with even not big power station with less capacity can cooking be real.

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Wow, this is excellent information for me and my viewers. Thank you 🙏. You’ve given us a guide on the power range knob. Based on the percentages on optimal settings, I have converted the percentage to the heat power range. The heat power ranges from digit 0 to 99 with maximum heat of 2100 watts. 588 watts = 27-28 672 watts = 31-32 882 watts = 41-42 Excellent tips! Thanks. Cheers, Victor

[@ivanbenkocky3290]

@@foodtripwithvictor most important thing is to use "always on start" lid on pots or pams for fastest heat up. I am glad I could help. Brilliant review from you btw. Keep doing like this....cheers

[@Sarwanjit1984]

I’ve tried was awesome

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Thank you for letting me know 🙏😊

Hi Victor, indeed using an induction cooker and iron based work can really give that wok hei fried koay teow,

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Not sure about Europe, but Australia going to ban gas cooking. A good alternative is induction cooking. Hopefully the price will come down as it’s expensive to install induction stoves and buying the appliances. I first came to use it in 2003 when it was still new.

[@taileelilliesee6832]

Here most of the households are using electric stove and about 3 years ago induction cooker was introduced. Furthermore, the power and temperature are adjustable. The maximum temperature is 220 C and power can be as high as 3.5 Kw.

[@foodtripwithvictor]

@@taileelilliesee6832 thanks for explaining and sharing this information 😊

[@ammy1977]

Hi victor. Are you in Melbourne? If so. Where do you get that type of thin Kway Teow? I can only find the wider thicker ones from the Vietnamese places. The ones that specify “for stir fry”. 😊

[@foodtripwithvictor]

I’m now in Penang. I haven’t seen this type of koay teow in Melbourne. But that doesn’t mean there’s none. I can think of the Asian supermarket in Richmond across from Aldi, or you may have better luck in Springvale or Box Hill. Both suburbs are a bit far for me when I was living in Docklands. Good luck hunting down the thin koay teow. Cheers, victor

[@jimbishop7513]

how do I get one in america

[@dannyfar7989]

Hey Victor, Thank you for sharing your experience :) I studied electrical engeneering, your explanation of induction is not quite correct, you might wamt to look at copper and AC basics. Here's something you might be able to help me with: I use this stove for about6s months now and knowing many worse inductionplates I like it. I have however not been able to get the temperature sensor to work I may be to stupid for this device but I can only get the knob to controll power, the Timer or the menu but I can not access the advertised 3degree precision temperatursensor have you been able to use it? Thanks

[@foodtripwithvictor]

Hi @dannyfar7899…since I’ve used it first time in this video, I’ve used it again. But only without the wifi function and without the App. I used the knob to control the temperature manually based on what I’m making. I’m not sure what you meant by using the 3 degree precision temperature. But I’ve experienced the cooker cuts off and stopped by itself as it’s overheated. Cheers, Victor

[@dannyfar7989]

@foodtripwithvictor they advertise it as with temperature control to 3 degrees accuracy. I can use the turning knob that controlls the power to controll temperatute manually, what I expected was a mode or something to use the knob to select my desired temperature in degrees instead of an arbitrary powernumber (0-99) and the device to use the sensor to controll the temperature. That would be quite handy for boiling water, sirring, frying and maybe even sous-vide as it can react faster and more accurate and stable than the manual controll if I k ow my desired temperature

[@dannyfar7989]

I wasn't able to find such a function in the app, it inly automatises what I can do mich better by hand, I wonder if I misunderstood something but If, then I wonder what the temperaturesensor is good for.

[@foodtripwithvictor]

@@dannyfar7989 ..I see..you needed the cooker to work to a precise degree. I wonder if each digit represents 3 degrees then. I’ve always cooked using sights and have never measure the temperature during a cooking process. But I know what you mean if that’s what they have advertised you would want to know how to do it.
