Is there a definite answer to the question of whether or not this wok can be used on an electric stove?

I use it on an electric range. There is a metal ring that should be used so the heat is spread evenly

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).

Clearly there are more than one definite answer to this question. I used a round bottom wok on various electric stoves for decades. I have a gas stove now and like it better but never had a problem using a round wok in the supporting ring on an electric stove. Of course, your mileage may vary.

it can be used, but cautiously, monitoring the wok while cooking is crucial as you don't want the wok to shift...USE A WOK RING/RACK FOR BEST SUPPORT. SEE THEM AT AMAZON

I am a vegan and cook in this wok constantly. Love it. Always watch what you are cooking so it doesn't burn. You don't want to use high heat. Use middle heat on a gas burner. I don't have electric so I don't know how that would work. Hopes this helps you make your decision. Great wok

I don't can, but I don't see why not. Once plugged in, it is just like any other "stove" burner... I hope this helped :-)

I've been looking to buy one and their YouTube demo says it's OK on gas, electric and glass cooktops.https://youtu.be/C4U1Qsih14k.

Absolutely. A wok is primarily designed for pan frying. It's shape allows food to be moved from the hotter bottom pan surface up the sides where it is less hot, or to slide the more finished pieces out of the wok into a bowl. You can pan-fry meat as well but my preferred instrument in that situation is a cast iron skillet.

It should be fine to use on electric stove top, just make sure you get correct size to match your stove dimensions. I know some reviews said it didn't fit we'll on electric stove top. I would recommend purchasing the smaller pan size griddle.

I don't see why not; but I'm not an expert. I think you just have to be careful to use the right cookware on ceramic tops, not regular electric stoves.

So far I have cooked at med/high heat, which is a level 6 or 7 on my electric stove. Maximum high heat could affect the teflon coating, I would not recommend it. Stainless steel with no teflon coating could withstand high heat. I like the weight of the wok, it's thicker aluminum and does not warp during cooking, which makes even surface cooking easier and quicker. Hope this helps answer your question.

Yes it can be, that is the type of stove we have and have used it several times, no problems. This Cook ware is GREAT Quality, DO NOT GET THE version if stampled MAde in China, it will not be original.

Because it is curved on the bottom, I don't think it would work very well on an electric stove. Only part of the bottom would contact the heating element. We use it on a gas stove and the flame comes up to contact it evenly on the bottom.

Yes, I use cook with a wok all the time. Just make sure there are no dings that would scar the surface.

I would say yes, We have used them on a regular gas stove. We don't have an electric stove, but if they work on gas flame, I can't see why they wouldn't work on an electric burner.

I have a gas stove, but I think the kettle should do fine on an electric stove. Its very heavy duty.

You can if you want to put that much oil in it. Personally, I would be hesitant. A wok doesn't have a very large base of support and can tip easily. I wouldn't want one full of hot oil on my stove. I would deep fry in a dutch oven and then transfer to the wok for finishing.

can this wok be used on an induction stove? I saw one with a round wooden handle and the details said itcould be used on an induction stove but can this one be used?

Yes, the pan works fine on an electric stove. That is what we use it on. Be sure to season it well and let the pan heat up to working temperature before starting to cook. My wife has a tendency to turn the heat up to high and get the pan too hot at first and then turns the heat down to the correct temperature.
