OK for non-induction stoves? Looks like sides are higher than usual, which is what I want??? True?

perfect for regular stove top as well, it's regular commercial grade with nice high sides.

Yes that's how my stove is too. The extender will just sit a little lower than the the sides of your stove.

The bottom of the 12" wok is 7&7/8 inches (almost 8 inches) across. I do not have induction burners, I have glass

I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool. Then warps more as it is heated. I didn't find that to be a big problem however on my glass top stove. BTW, here is a trick. Most of my pots are flat bottomed and I do have a ceramic cooktop. I have some copper bottom pots that are not flat on the bottom which do not work well, but use a trick to get them to work faster. If you wet the bottom of the pan before you put it on the stove the water will turn to steam and efficently transfer heat from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the pan. The steam condenses on the bottom of the pan and then drips back to the cooktop surface to boil away again. I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool.

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.

Don't know what induction compatible is but I do know it is for STOVE TOP only

We use induction so I don't know if that would make a differnce. I boiled water for 10 minutes just to see and they handles didn't get hot. Not even warm! My only concern is where the handles are. With the lid on, there is a gap. No doubt so they are stackable. If you were to cook rice, it might present a problem because you really need a tight fitting lid. The lid fits well but again, there is that gap. I have a rice cooker so this isn't a problem for me. My go to pot. Perfect weight. Very happy with my purchase.

I am not sure I have a traditional stove. They are somewhat course not real smooth.

You can use the side burner for both, the grate can be raised about an inch or so for cooking/searing, then lowered flush for pots and pans. The side burner grate for that model comes with a cast iron grate that needs to be highly maintained due to the high heat burning off the seasoning of the grate. I ordered the stainless sided burner grate separately as it's low maintenance. Hope that helps

Thanks for pointing this out to me. The L8SGP3 pan is deeper than the pan I purchased. There is no depth to the pan I have. There are no "sides". I might like this other pan as well.

The base is uneven-(seven small half spheres). Usually that is a problem if using it on an induction stove.

I have a glass top stove in my house, an induction cook-top(single burner) and a gas stove in my motor-home. I love cooking with them but if it boils over, the hot liquid travels down the handle to the hole. So, I just keep an eye out and put a spoon rest under the hole where I put my stir spoon anyway.

Robert, I am going to ask amazon for you via written request and report back to you. I'm curious myself now. Why should you miss out on this or another product that might be just right for an induction cooktop. I will post answer here as soon as I hear back. cvsk12

I am assuming you have a gas stove , if so it should be ok as it sits down in the prongs over the burner. also IMHO a round bottom wok is better for cooking more things

I have an electric stove. I do not have experience with induction surfaces. The bottom of the pot is perfectly flat without a design if that helps you make a decision. I've enjoyed my pot for making pasta sauces and soups.

They work beautifully on my Amana ceremic cooktop, Helen. I had concerns about the same thing and kept the heat a bit lower. However, my husband who enjoys cooking much more than I do, doesn't even give it a thought. If it says "High" that's what he uses. I don't think you need to be concerned

The one I have is not a solid bottom. It works well on my gas stove, but I think it would not work as well on an electric or induction cooktop.
