Never had an induction cooktop. Why can't you use a wok? I can see why it wouldn't be as nice as having a flame, but are induction woks really so bad as to be unusable?
- vosper 5y agoYou can use a wok, it just isn't quite as good as gas because woks tend to have a smallish flat bottom, and with induction only that bottom part is getting heated. With gas the bottom part gets heated but the flames also heat up the sides of the wok. You can get woks with wider bases for induction cooktops. I haven't tried one, but I think it could fix the issue. https://www.tefal.co.nz/c/Daily-Cook-Stainless-Steel-Non-stick-Induction-Wok-28cm-%2B-Lid/p/2100121266 https://www.tefal.co.nz/c/Daily-Cook-Stainless-Steel-Non-sti...
- michaelmior 5y agoThat's a fair point. I have a flat bottom wok that I use on my electric stovetop and it definitely has a hard time heating as much as I'd like.
- insaneirish 5y agoPurpose built induction wok hobs can be very, very good, but there are two potential problems with a regular induction range and a wok: 1. For a round wok, you'd need an 'adapter' to hold the wok. 2. for a flat bottom wok, you might not get enough surface area on the induction element.
