can you effectively use a wok on an electric stovetop?
no you need gas or one of those weird bowl shaped induction burners made specifically for woks
>>21105748No.
>>21105748To take advantage of the wok shape while cooking, like regular saute you totally can. If you mean the stir fry flavor that comes from a hardcore chinese wok place, you can't. The heat doesn't transfer to the pan or the food the same.If you have a patio or outside in your home, I would always always always recommend just getting a proper wok burner over inside gas or >>21105752. The camping gas units Asians use on their youtube vids are nice, but honestly real cheffy wok cooking (wok hei umami buzzword meme) involves obscene amounts of heat adjustment during cooking to do and there isn't a replacement for it. I've used induction wok burner and the blowtorch methods to try to replicate it. It's not the same. Those who say otherwise are crooks. CROOKS!
>>21105752What does the wood board do? Is that like a bamboo induction cooktop?
>>21105902Induction stoves react with glass top stoves and can create nasty bubbles in the glass that have ammonium bifloride which can cause seizures. Cutting board is just keeping the induction from the stove.
