A domestic hob will not do what a wok burner does, and that is fine · review
A coated stainless wok on WMF’s TransTherm universal base, stated heat resistant to 400 °C (752 °F), and matched by the maker to a 22 cm (8.7 in) hob ring.
What we would actually buy The sensible coated wok for induction. The ceiling is the coating, not the pan.
A 28 cm (11 in) wok in Cromargan 18/10 stainless with a ceramic nonstick interior, on WMF’s TransTherm base, stated heat resistant to 400 °C (752 °F) and matched to a 22 cm (8.7 in) hob ring.
A wok’s shape assumes heat wrapping up its sides. A domestic ring heats a circle on the bottom, and everything above that circle is a holding area rather than a cooking surface. Knowing the pan is designed around a 22 cm (8.7 in) ring tells you exactly how much of it will be hot.
Stir-frying wants very high heat and constant movement. A ceramic coating handles the movement and caps the heat. The practical answer is to cook in two batches rather than filling the wok, which a domestic hob wants anyway.
Carbon steel takes more heat, seasons, and needs looking after. This takes less heat, needs nothing, and washes up. Neither is wrong; they are different kitchens.
On sale at around $92 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Yes, and a deliberate one. It handles constant movement and it caps the heat. Cooking in two batches rather than filling the wok is what a domestic hob wants in any case.
