Can this be used with a 14" round bottom wok without too much trouble?

We use ours with a round bottom wok and it works perfectly. Not sure if it is 14" or not, but it is an excellent burner for a wok.

Mine unit is the older style, so the bracket that holds the wok is different. I routinely use a 14" northern style pow wok on this and have zero issues except excess heat so I use welding gloves to protect my hands. I don't know what is up with the "soot" answer but this has never occurred with my unit so I think the other user has a problem issue with the air intake or something else.

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's similar to a wok. I would estimate the bottom to be 6 or 7 inches circumference

The bottom is completely rounded so a ring is advisable. The wok does tend to rust a bit in the center bottom if you don't keep it dry and/or oiled but that's what you'd expect from carbon steel and it's easily prevented. It really is a great wok and heats quickly and evenly and you can't beat it at twice the price.

Yes. That's what it's designed for. If you have a round bottom wok you will need a wok ring to hold it - and that might slide around. You are best with a flat bottom wok if you have a gas stove.

I have used this on a straight-sided tall pot and also a curvy stockpot and both have worked great. The metal clip slides all the way up and down, so I would guess it is okay to use with a wok. My only concern would be if the curve of the wok would impede the sensor at the bottom from getting an accurate reading. Good luck!

The front foot pad is 12 1/2" from the rear of the unit so it will fit on your 14" shelf, but the front will stick out about 4", incl. handle.

Yes it will fit without running into the handle. It would just touch the rivets but I have NOT had any issues making a large pie. If you suspect you will be making larger than 14", get a bigger one but to me, this one is huge. We did measure prior to answering your question.

We have a glass top stove, and this did not work with it - even using the burner ring. Putting it directly on the burner, only a small portion on the bottom would get very hot, but the sides would not. I'm not the cook, but I was told it was not suitable for normal wok cooking. We are now looking for a handhammered flat bottom wok to replace this one.

I would say it would not be a good choice for a ceramic cooktop; I would probably have to recommend a flat bottom Wok.

I do not have the wok, however with my chef's pan where the top diameter is bigger than the bottom diameter and the description had two differing measurement. I can guess that the 12" May be the diameter of the bottom cooking surface and the 14.5" is the dimension of the widest point.

I'm actually using it for a Kitchen Aid flat bottom wok (which works great)!

Yes. I was concerned with the bottom being flat enough to use even on an electric glass top. However, this brand has been very good and does not hop around as some other flat bottom carbon steel woks would. The flat bottom wok is more versatile than the round bottom version which would not conduct enough heat even with a wok ring on an electric stove.

14.1" , can't really address your second question. Vents are along the back at the top and bottom. If there is plenty of side clearance, top might not matter.

it doesn't work very well with woks because of its curvature. you won't be able to fix it to the side. the same applies to all saucepans that are not straight, even a small curvature will make it difficult. it works great with different heights.

If the Cuisanart fry [pan is 14 inches the ALPC 14 will work as well as any flat cover on any pot that it fit will work.It's a nifty pot cover. Just remember tis aluminum, which means it get very hot handling it.

Yes, in fact I suspect it was basically designed for woks. However, a small wok might sit too deeply in it and get too close to the burner jets. My 16" wok works great.
