What a whiner. Plenty of pro chefs use and prefer induction heating because it allows finer control and better reproducibility, while greatly reducing indoor air pollution. Sounds like he needs to learn some new methods.
- AkshatJ27 3y agoElectric stovetops do not work for all applications, try using a wok or any other round bottom utensil on an induction stove

- Turskarama 3y agoThey do make induction stoves for woks, if you wanted to use woks in a commercial kitchen you would get a specialty stove much like specialty gas stoves are used for them now.
- cranky908canuck 3y agoSo use a standalone gas cooker (google 'countertop butane cooker'). Yes, I have seen professionals use them (granted, in a 'demo kitchen' setup).
- deserialized 3y agoThere are now and have been for years induction wok cooktops with a concave base https://maxima.com/en/induction-wok-wok-burner.html https://maxima.com/en/induction-wok-wok-burner.html
- nikau 3y agoIf you see how asian chefs use their woks that thing is laughable.
- deserialized 3y agoI see chefs use these daily at the local food court to prepare Asian dishes. Your comment doesn't track with reality
- nikau 3y agoOk, I'll refine it to any decent authentic Asian restaurant not in a food court, ie. like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT8tQhovT0k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT8tQhovT0k

- Doxin 3y agoFlat bottom woks do exist.
- willcipriano 3y agoIf it has a flat bottom it isn't a wok. A flat bottom would make it a "cooking pan" instead of a "cooking pot".
- Doxin 3y agoFlat bottom woks have a flat bottom. not a flat inside.
- mozman 3y agoHas usage is sensationalized, I cannot reconcile the purported claims of environmental harm with my mental model of the world. Can you help me understand why depreciating natural gas is impactful? Isn't it just virtue signaling at this point?
- midoridensha 3y agoDepreciating natural gas? Natural gas is a commodity, not real estate or a capital expense. It doesn't depreciate. You can look up studies about how much indoor air pollution it creates for yourself. Google isn't hard to use. "natural gas indoor air pollution" should work. If you have mental trouble understanding how burning things in an enclosed room where people are living and breathing creates air pollution, I don't know what to tell you.
- quickthrowman 3y ago> You can look up studies about how much indoor air pollution it creates for yourself. Vent hoods are mandatory in every single state in the US if you’re cooking on a range/stovetop in a commercial kitchen, no matter whether it’s gas or electric. This is paired with a make-up air fan or make-up air damper to draw fresh outdoor air into the cooking space. Natural gas does cause air quality issues inside of a residence that doesn’t have a vent hood and provisions for make-up air, but this thread is about commercial kitchens which as I said, are required to provide a vent hood which takes care of the air quality problems from a natural gas range.
