Does this stand well on gas stove without falling down or wobbling? How is the heating speed on gas stove?

Get this wok, you'll like it. Balances well for me on my gas range, but I do intend on getting a ring for it, and you would benefit too as well. It heats somewhat slow compared to other woks, but this flexible cast iron pan is thin too, so your oil gets smokin' hot in hardly any time. Make sure you scrub it good with soap and water to get the protective coating off, then season the wok using whatever method you might prefer.

Works pretty well on my Gas stove, you do meed a lot of btu's from your stove to properly heat a wok. Stability is going to depend on the grates on your stove. I am going to buy a portable one burner stove for use with mine as the lady on wokstar.com suggests.

It heats up in a few seconds. I have a Bluestar range so I can take out the grate and the resulting cavity makes it perfect for woks. It also site perfectly fine on the grate if you leave it in but you might want to get a wok ring. This is a big wok. I am 6' 265lbs and I can barely hold it with one hand.

You need the ring for most burners for it not to move. It does heat quickly and evenly.

Yeah it's flat, I have a electric stove that's flat and it sits well balanced on it.

Yes, it does work well on a gas stove. It's used daily, and has held up well.

I've been using it on an electric stove for more than 3 months and its still working well. The only word of caution is the handle. Constant washing of the wooden handle can make it wobbly. I recommend using a damp cloth to wipe the handle.

My wife and I have had no problems with it on our gas stove. The food cooks evenly as far as I can tell.

The bottom is fairly smooth, it reminds me of vinyl record. I have a new LG stove with the ceramic cooktop and have not had any problem.

I have a gas stove but don't see that you would have a problem. It is a a high quality stainless steel bottom.

I have a gas stove and there is not a problem! The pot covers the burner and the handle is not in direct line of heat source. Also you will be cranking the handle while its over the flame. Mine works great nothing has fallen apart!!

It's a glass container so if you put it on an electric element it will break -- should be OK on a gas stove. For electric, put a triangle of wire (like coat-hanger wire) on the burner first, then the container on top of that. At least that's how I used to do it; don't bother now, just drink my coffee faster!

Yes it sits with stability as shown in pic. Very handy product to keep back area of stove clean and less area to clean

It is sturdy enough to place on a carpet without it tipping over, but it is also small enough that you can place it on a table to do the job. I purchased it to use in our 27' Camper and it heats the whole camper in no time at all. I hope this helps you make your decision.

The stove is not tippy. It will hold a Dutch oven or any cast iron pan I have a 18" skillet I have used on it works great. Just make sure you have a fairly flat surface. I set mine on top of the picking table no problems with heat transfer. It is the best stove for the money.

This is a well made wok with a good heat conductor. I use it on gas stove and it heats up fast. I use my daughter's induction cooktop from time to time, I think this wok works as well as hers.

You don't have to shake it at all. And it shouldn't slide off the burner of your gas stove as long as the burner is level. It really does work as advertised. I've given two as gifts and everyone loves them.

I used this at a church dinner and it did not wobble at all. I used only 3 tiers at that time, but did not have any problem at all. I assembled it, but someone else put the cupcakes on it and they had no problem either. Hope this helps.

Yes, flat and stable. No ring required on any type of stove. Nicest wok I have ever owned, and I have had a few...
