Can you use it for high heat stir fry on stove top? As a lot of non stick pan advise medium heat cooking only.

You can use it for high heat stir fry with vegetable or meat. But the handles will be very hot so be careful!

You can stir fry in this pan but be sure to use pot holders because the handles do get hot. I love the size especially for big gatherings. It really holds a lot and I'm really glad I purchased this :)

To be completely honest with you I purchased it for my mom for Christmas last year, she loves it and uses it all the time. I believe she has used it on high heat and she uses a gas stove. Hope that helps.

I have not personally used it for stir-fry, but having used it for just about everything else, I would have to say that it would be OK. The box, which I kept, says it has a non-stick interior with the T-fal thermo-spot which allows for an even heat base. The box further states that the 'thermo-spot' unique heat indicator shows when your pan is perfectly preheated to seal in the flavor of your food. It (the box again) further states that the even heat base delivers even heat distribution for reliable cooking results. It also says that the non-stick interior, with 'Pro-metal Pro' (trademarked), is exceptionally durable, scratch resistant & safe for use with metal utensils, although I use only hard durable plastic utensils (just my personal preference when using non-stick interior pots/pans). The box says it has 'NO PFOA, NO LEAD, NO CADMIUM', is recyclable, which means it's a 'green' product.; and that it is safe for gas, coiled electric, ceramic & halogen cooking surfaces, but NOT INDUCTION. As I've been cooking for almost almost 50 yrs. & haven't burned down the house yet (well, only once - LOL!!) & haven't had to throw out any pots or pans yet (except because of age - not mine LOL!!), I would say GO FOR IT & if it doesn't work, please don't contact me... LOL!!! Seriously, bon appetit~

Stick with medium heat. High heat will release toxins from the coating. Hope this helps!

Yes it can be used for stir frying. Works well and cleans up easily. But I don't think it's stovetop safe. About 12.5"x3.5"

You need a really hot pan for stir frying, and butter and oil will burn at high temps, so use veg. oil carefully, or even better, peanut oil, which doesn't burn when you stir fry.

Yes, the BEW600XL Hot Wok™ can be used to stir-fry or even to brown up meat for use in other recipes.

i believe the instruction booklet says that you can use it on stove top. I have not done this myself.

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).

Yes, I use mine all the time. The instructions say not on high heat, so i use medium to medium high.

I bought it because many people mentioned that they used it for quick frying. You have to decide what you believe are the dangers with the nonstick and "high" temps, and what temps trigger those dangers.

Hi, Tammy, the pan is stainless steel, so you can use it on the stove top. But you may want to really think about that. It is moderately thin metal, so you should not be surprised at hot-spots or warping. If you want to just keep something warm on the stovetop, then this pan should work great. If however, you want to actually cook something in it on the stovetop, use a pan meant for that. Bon Appetit!

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.

Since you are not supposed to use these pans with very high heat, I'm not sure deep frying is the best for this due to the heat. But they are great for stir frying. I never use heat higher than medium high (following recommendations), and have had no problems and they remain in great shape after 15 months of almost daily cooking. I think they are excellent pans overall, but I think you may be better served with other pans that can tolerate highest heat settings.

I use it to slightly flame fried rice fried noodles. I don't have a hot enough stove to get that nice roasted flavor to my stir fry like the restaurants

You can if you want to put that much oil in it. Personally, I would be hesitant. A wok doesn't have a very large base of support and can tip easily. I wouldn't want one full of hot oil on my stove. I would deep fry in a dutch oven and then transfer to the wok for finishing.

I haven't used it on high heat because I haven't had the need. It works just fine on Medium and Medium High. It is such a well made pan that I doubt there would be a problem.

I have never use high. I always cook with medium or low heat.. With all my cookware.

yes, it can be used for cooking, but carefully. The burn point is only 350F (175C) which, for a high heat stir-fry, is too low. I used it for a finishing sauce on already cooked fish and vegetables.

You'll need some nice utensils...you can't remove the pan from the unit to stir or the current is broken so you'll need to leave the pan stationary and stir with a utensil....also water boils super fast especially if its covered so keep an eye on it. It really is like a better cook top.
