it was great. i ended up going with the NuWave wok shown in this video, despite in the end him recommending the other one (heads-up, his channel is not vegan; there are some vegan recipes but viewer beware). at my price point and lack of a functional separate wok, the NuWave checked the boxes and worked just like i was hoping for.

lol, that's fair - i always run my cell phone photos through Google Photos to dial up the saturation and what they call the "pop". it makes for more interesting photos but if you have a good monitor i bet it's almost unpleasant, ha! sorry for that.

in Google Photos there's an option to dial up the saturation and dial up what it calls "pop" and I usually dial up both a fair bit, otherwise my photos tend to look dull and unappealing.

hella delicious!
