To clarify, you can't use any teflon or ceramic nonstick coating at the temps required, regardless of heating method. The coatings will degrade, and possibly poison you.
That being said, you don't need to be using gas. It is possible to get good wok hei on an induction wok, despite what the foodie peanut gallery says. Not on a 120V unit, though. You need to use a commercial multi-kilowatt setup.

- dole 2y agoDepends relative on the singeing and carbonization and other chemical reactions
- havblue 2y agoWhat exactly are you saying the problem with ceramic is? Could you be more specific?
- Baeocystin 2y agoThe risks of teflon are well known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface#Health_concerns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface#Health_conce... The risks of ceramic coatings less so, but still concerning: https://foodpackagingforum.org/news/nanoparticles-released-by-quasi-ceramic-pans https://foodpackagingforum.org/news/nanoparticles-released-b... Either way, neither is safe for higher heat cooking. At the very least, ceramics will rapidly degrade if used for such.
