Has anyone ever used a wok with gas? If so, how does this electric one compare to that?

I have and this gets as hot. We have had no problems with it and use it at least once a week.

I have used both. I find this electric wok easy to use and clean. *Both give you great control over the heat.*Stove top wok might store easier...more like a bowl.*Stove top wok always looked sort of dirty.*Breville wok super easy to clean and is non-stick (stove top one from the past was a nasty mess).*Electric wok frees up stove for other cooking if needed.*Breville wok is stable, no wobbling around or need to move it around while cooking.Overall, I prefer the electric wok.

I haven't used a wok on a gas stove as I have an all electric home. However, this wok gets very hot and sears meat beautifully. I couldn't be happier with it!

I have used a wok on a gas and electric stove and they do a good job. This wok does a great job as well it heats up fast and holds that temperature. With a regular wok, depending on the style, you will find yourself moving it around so the heat will change some not much. The Breville wok heat is constant gets hot and stays hot. This wok, if your a neat cook, is easy to clean you just have to clean the area where the food touched. I rarely have to take it apart. If you follow the instructions in the manual for cooking and maintaining you will do fine. It has 14 heating settings plus the searing. It's an excellent product looks good and it's nice quality. I don't think I'll never go back to a regular wok. I have used a wok on a gas and electric stove and they do a good job. This wok does a great job as well it heats up fast and holds that temperature.

I've never used a wok with gas, but I can tell you this wok gets sizzling hot! Ive used to for stir frying and also for deep frying large batches of beer batter halibut for a group. The oil stays hot between batches, I no longer use my deep fryer! Hope this helps

Gas is probably better for heat distribution. But electric burners will work as long as they make contact with the pan.

Honestly, wok cooking should be used with gas or flame style cooking. I fear that glass top won't heat evenly, and will slide around too much.

Yes, but it won't work as well as gas. Wok's are designed for gas stoves. It will work but cooking times will be slower

My water heater was older and only had propane. Now it has electric and gas, I can dual run them but most of the time I use electric now. Which woks well! It takes more time to heat the water shower it is easer than moving the gas tanks all of the time, and relighting the pilot light every time I went to camp. Hope this helps you. I totally recomend the unit.

I haven't tried on gas-range stoves, but on electric, it's just fantastic and warms faster then expected. It's been a successful purchase.

I have a gas stove but I do not see any reason why it would not work well on an electric burner. JC

I use it indoors on gas. Have not tried on an electric burner. I imagine the element will head the metal and the metal will distribute the heat, though as is the case with electric burners all around, probably not as well.

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 had a heat induction top when I first got this wok. I had no problem bringing it to the high heat needed for wok cooking.

I use a gas stove. But I would think it should be no problem. Instructions state to adjust your flame to confine to the area of the small circle that is the bottom of the pan. No excessive high flame to be wasted and too hot up the sides, I suspect. So you would do the the equivalent with your electric. You will love this popper. So easy and simple.

I have broiled in it in an electric oven with no problems; don't know about gas although I wouldn't expect it to be too different.

No, this isn't an electrical appliance. It is made for use on a standard cooktop. I believe it will work on both electric and gas. I have both a standard electric and also an induction cooktop and it works great.

The first reason I purchased the electric is because I'm an 78 year old female and I knew I could plug it into the plug-in. As for the gas one I would never get it started.And it does a very good job, for me.

Have gas stove; however, after a year plus use, the teapot still looks quite new, very sturdy, no complaints at all.....Don't see why electric would make a difference.......

Yes, a wok works the best. Just enough for some steam to last while cooking.

No. I believe it's much less than that, the one negative to this unit. Turns out i am using over an electric cook top instead of gas.
