Just a heads up, cast iron will leave a residue of carbon on the induction burner that's terribly difficult to remove. If you're careful, you can avoid damage from the weight of the wok but, that carbon layer affected my burner a lot.

[@aaaaghdoor6056]

I aint eating off the stove so it don't matter

[@PipkinXIV]

@@TanukiOfficial To clarify, I'm talking about Cast Iron. Specifically, the cast iron bottoms. I often had the cast iron at higher temperatures. Maybe that's why it was so hard to remove. My stovetop was also older, that could have something to do with it. I just wanted to give people a heads up because induction stoves come with instructions on which pans are safe for your stove top.

[@PipkinXIV]

@@aaaaghdoor6056 The carbon stuck to the stove kind of ruined that burner, it took a really long time to heat up. Just check your oven's manual to see which pans are safe for your burner.

Sometimes someone comes up with a design that is really well thought out. Thank for introducing me to the curved induction burner! Now I just need a bigger kitchen...

[@iainburgess8577]

*Revised, thanks @Yocray* Um... You could lay a silicone baking sheet, *wadded Aluminium foil* , or similar product over a flat hob to protect the glass; gives a bit of room for mistakes. *Silicone max temp is 450⁰F or 220⁰C* It won't change the induction transfer much. *Anything that's thin, non-magnetic, can take the temperature & can spread out impacts should work.* *Aluminium does react to changing magnetic fields, but not with heat; it may or may not work*

[@rice0009]

Suggestion ... Use a silicon sushi rolling mat on top of your cooking element to prevent scratching the surface with the wok. I use mostly cast iron to cook with on my induction stove. Works GREAT and the stove top still looks brand new after 10 years.

I use a carbon steel flat bottom wok. I run the burner a little hotter so need to pretty much be continually stirring and ready to pull off the heat for 15 seconds or so. I find the cooler sides a benefit when I add eggs. I pour them onto the sides and they don’t overcook as easily. Nice tender egg in the mix.

Link to this burner? Are electric burners really good for round bottom woks? I read somewhere that when you use such a thing you should use a gas stove with this rounded „whole“ for the wok. What’s your opinion?

[@Daniel-ch9jf]

Thank you for the video, really inspired me and I've watched all of your wok videos. Does anyone know where to buy one of these in the UK? I'm really struggling here. I've found one from a Pakistan company Chef King but it has very few reviews if any. I'm wondering if it's too niche or if its not my only option at home for best emulating wok cooking. Is it not also just as good to get a standalone has hob with a wok ring, or is induction that much better? It's 200 pounds so i need to be sure!

[@literallyhuman5990]

If you want extra flex use blow torch welder. Just be careful, long enough can melt the bottom of the wok

[@ray_mck]

I have this wok/hob combo, and once I got the hang of it, I get excellent results I could never get with my flat bottom wok on induction cooktop. My only complaint is the induction coil is VERY small at the bottom of the wok -- professional wok burners have a little auxiliary heat a bit further up the side of the wok. That wouldn't be such a big thing except the metal of the included wok is paper thin. I might ask the Asian market the next time I go if I could bring this little wok to see if I can match the curvature in a thicker walled wok to use with the hob.

[@JDH3666]

Hi. What do you believe is the advantage of a thicker walled wok? I really like the lighter weight of the wok which comes with the hob. Is it a heat conductivity issue?

[@ray_mck]

@@JDH3666 yes, the induction coil on this unit is very small -- Smaller than the smallest eye of my moderately priced induction cooktop. The very bottom of the wok is blazing hot, but centimeters away is stone cold. It would be nice to have a larger working hot zone, even if just a little.

[@Free-g8r]

The flat bottom wok doesn't work with the flat induction? Is it an issue of the burner not detecting the wok?

[@ray_mck]

@@Free-g8r the flat bottom wok works fine, but I personally get better results on the stand-alone unit. Also, the base is designed for pan motion. Moving a pan around directly in contact with an expensive glass cooktop is not something I do!

[@Free-g8r]

My wok has a 3.41 inch flat spot. The portable induction cooker I want to buy says I need at least 5" at the bottom of my cookware. I'm worried the induction will not detect the wok and will shut down every 60s. Is this not a problem with yours?

[@guringai]

@@Free-g8r I'm pretty confident that it would work. If you can, take your wok to the shop & try for a second.

@@Free-g8r I'm confident that your wok will work. Is there a place around where you live that you can try one out?

[@jintsuubest9331]

What? Induction cooker use magnet to heat up the cookware. The cooker itself does not heat up. The timing between decommission jey engine and induction cookwr is different. But the round style cooker doesnt concentrate energy at the bottom. It impart energy to the surfaces that are enclosed by magnet in the cooker, which usually is not just the bottom.
