Interested in non-stick wok for veg stir fry and Indian food. Need to stir fry at 6-8 on an electric stove. Is this pan okay?

These are some of the best I have used; a perfect "Karahi" for Indian food.

YES! Season the WOK with a brief hot water washing, then using about a tablespoon of oil, distributed over the entire WOK with a soft cloth and bake in the oven for about 4 hours. Let it cool down and repeat the process. I seasoned mine 3 times before using it. Cast iron woks can be dangerous if heated to high degrees. Use a kernel of pop corn when you begin using your wok. The pop corn will pop at 350 degrees and that is the temperature you want to use for stir fry.

Absolutely.Wok cooking, stir frying, or deep oil frying. Just rinse the oil off, wash it, and hang it to dry.

It is an outstanding non-stick but I doubt any non-stick can handle the conditions you list. The steel wok turner will hurt it, but steel wok turners hurt all non-stick surfaces. I would avoid cooking at 600 degree F considering the other Unison cookware isn't oven safe to that temperature.

Sorry this is so late, I just got it. I would say no. I once bought a new ceramic stove it said not to use copper bottom and there was something aboutthe wok and wok ring that I thought I could not safely use it. I bought an electric wok and stopped using my Norpro. Now a decade plus later I am livingwhere I have a gas stove again and I bought the Norpro 10 piece wok set again this time from Amazon.

I am assuming you have a gas stove , if so it should be ok as it sits down in the prongs over the burner. also IMHO a round bottom wok is better for cooking more things

Yes, I use cook with a wok all the time. Just make sure there are no dings that would scar the surface.

sure, mine is a induction stove but i agree with stephen's. it is slow to warm up. why dont you look for an electric wok. i am going to get one of those. these type woks need a little work to maintain it.

I find the nonstick surface to be truly nonstick, comparable to Stonedine cookware and better than Kitchenaid and Cuisinart. I'm very happy with my wok and use it a lot for stir-frying.

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.

Not quite sure how "high" heat is defined by all, but I stir fry on high all the time and have never had a problem. That said, I only use the high heat briefly, or until I get the "crunch" I'm looking for.

I would say no, unless you are light eaters. I cook for two, usually make a cup of rice too. At that rate, the wok is comfortable to keep your vegetables, etc. moving. The cook simply needs room to work inside the wok, without constraint or pitching things over the side. If you are cooking for 4, with the intention of that being the bulk of the meal, I would consider going larger. I hope this helps!

We use it for stir fry. It's great due to the higher curved edge. Just remember to use wood or other soft utensils to stir while adding ingredients.

Yes ... n. wok "a large bowl-shaped cooking pan used for stir-frying, steaming, etc." ... Yes it's a wok and a nice large saute pan as well. I've used it for stir-fry as well as for various sautes and even a large batch of a scrambled egg brunch dish. I have an older teflon-coated wok but I don't like to use it anymore because I don't trust the teflon for health reasons. This pan is great, not very expensive, I don't have to worry about the teflon flaking off into our food, and I love the see-through lid.

it is a great pan for grilling indoors, we wash it in sudsy water just like a nonstick pan, handle is protected and will not get too hot. I love cooking with them, they are lighter weight than the Calphalon non stick pans. hope this helps, i also have a wok, a large sautee and small frying pan. just don't cut in the pan and if you stack your pots put a sheet of paper towel to minimize knicks and cuts on its surface. The first wok lasted us a long, long time...

If you are able - invest in metal utensils for the wok. I got them because my wok had some kind of treated bumpy finish. I don't like them myself, when stir frying it is the policy to scoop and flip and move them food around especially when you start with meat. These are not thin enough to get under the food properly so it makes the cooking actually harder.

I use it for stir fry and varies dishes that require a deep pan. It's non stick so be careful when washing and heat should not be high. It will warp the pan and non stick won't work that well.
