Does the wok "dance" around on a glass / ceramic cooktop?

I don't have a bare ceramic cook top. Mine has a grate over the ceramic. The only way that I can think of the wok " dancing " on the ceramic cook top would be if there's any kind of liquid, mainly water based under the wok to begin with.

no... but that is the least of the problems. If you haven't bought this, don't do it. Under powered, loud fan at both speeds with little too no difference in air flow and low poor cooktop lighting make this the worst appliance I have ever bought.

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.

This is the first real wok I've owned and we love it. Depending on what I cook there can be some "stickage" but nothing has burned. I make sure to remove it from the heat right away. :-)

Yes, the bottom is smooth & has no grooves or indentations in it. My electric stove top is ceramic, as well & this wok is perfect.

It should heat up and hold heat like the wok. However the sides are not as high so it would be harder to keep everything in the pan when doing a stirfry.

the bottom is grooved, however i use the pan on a glasstop range without any problem.

The wok has a flat base that stis nicely on our older model gas range. It is heavy. So, its weight will help keep it from wobbling. It is the only wok I have ever used that did not require one hand to hold while I was stirring.

I used it quite a few times on a ceramic top with no issues. It seems to take a lot of heating, so the stove does get hot, but no issues.

No, it's round bottom will not have enough contact for a heat transfer to place allowing for extremely high temperatures needed with WOK cooking.

It is smooth, but woks dont work well on glass top stoves. they need the heat of the flame coming up the side to cook all the way around. They tend to take a high amount of heat on them and glass tops only put heat on the bottom/touching surface.

I have a cooktop and I would suggest you order the ring. The wok is perfectly round on the bottom and wobbles on the flat surface. I was surprised at how heavy it is and nicely hammered. The bottom measures 20" from side to side.

Yes, I have a glass top stove and I do not have any problems. Holds the heat and cooks fast.

I really like it but I don't use it only as a Wok. It holds the heat and cooks nice.

I have a glass top stove.The heating try does get warm on the bottom so I was afraid to try. Otherwise, I love the tray and even bought one as a gift!

Yes. I have a glass. Top stove as well and I have had no problems. I love this cookware!

Yes, just don't drag it across the top. You have to lift it to move it so it doesn't scratch the cooktop.
