does this burner work well with woks

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.

It sure does! The sear station is separate from the side burner (which, by the way, is great for heating a wok for a fabulous stir fry). The sear station is inside the main compartment along with the other burners.

See the prongs that hold the wok. The flames will go up passed those about 10 to 11in. It has a powerful burner. I hope this helps you out

It works very well for woks. But I could see it working just fine for other, standard frying pans. Although I would not use it on a non-stick pan. ;)

We do use the king kooker for our cast iron cookware especially our dutch oven. It works great and we have no problems. I am sure it would be fine with the wok as well since I have placed stainless steel cookware on it as well. Hope this helps

I only have a gas burner but I doubt there would be enough contact with the round shape to heat enough. There are flat bottom woks

I have had no problems with mine so far, and I use a pretty big burner as well. The only issue I have found is that fittings leak (actually it's more of a dribble). It is so minor I rarely even notice it.

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.

Very well. I seasoned it also on the cooktop rather than in the oven as some sources suggest and it go plenty hot along the sides to season very nicely. I haven't noticed any difference between using a wok on the induction or the coil election stove I had originally.

If you are using over an outside high heat wok burner, 35K BTU's and up, yes the handle will get too hot to touch. On a household range, electric or gas, it should not be a problem--unless making a dish that takes a long stir fry time (which is unusual). But for under 4 minute stir fries, I never had a problem on household ranges (ie. 5K-10K BTU's).

This is a very good flat bottom wok. I have used it several times on high heat with no problems cleaning it afterwards. I use Bar Keepers Friend for tough burns. I suggest you heat the pan first before adding oil. Stainless steel has pores that shrink when heating. Making the pan less likely to stick.

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.

Yes it does. Just used it again tonight. I have bought three woks, one for me , 2 for gifts. Love it, love it, love it!

I have an induction cooktop burner but have not used it with it but we still use this wok all the time. Induction heating should work great with cast iron, since induction heating requires a magnetic material (iron and magnetic grades of steel). However, it is so heavy and the bottom surface roughened so I would think that you would need to be careful moving it on the cooktop surface to prevent possible scratching.

This is the correct way for the lid to fit.The steam flows back into the pan and does not run down the outside onto the stove/burner. The WOK is not designed to be filled with food so the lid fitting this way does not interfere with Cooking. The size of the WOK is designed so the food can be moved up and down the sides for increased and deceased heat. The lid as it is made will accommodate this method of cooking as well.
