A domestic hob will not do what a wok burner does, and that is fine · review
A coated 28 cm (11 in) wok with Tefal’s Thermo-Signal indicator, made in France — and, like its grill pan sibling, explicitly not suitable for induction.
What we would actually buy Fine on gas, useless on induction. The coating also caps how hard you can drive it, which is what a wok is for.
Tefal states this wok is suitable for gas, electric and ceramic hobs but not induction. On an induction hob it will not heat at all.
A 28 cm (11 in) coated wok with a titanium-reinforced nonstick surface and the Thermo-Signal indicator in the base — a pattern that disappears at frying temperature, which in a wok is more useful than in a flat pan.
A stir-fry wants the hottest surface a domestic hob can produce. A nonstick coating has a stated limit well below what carbon steel will take, so this wok cooks vegetables cleanly and will not give the seared, slightly smoky result a seasoned steel wok does over a strong flame.
Everything a coated pan is good at, in a wok shape: noodles, eggs, anything that would stick, and cleaning up in seconds. If that is what you want from a wok, this is the sensible one.
