Can the wok cook with high heat?

So far I have cooked at med/high heat, which is a level 6 or 7 on my electric stove. Maximum high heat could affect the teflon coating, I would not recommend it. Stainless steel with no teflon coating could withstand high heat. I like the weight of the wok, it's thicker aluminum and does not warp during cooking, which makes even surface cooking easier and quicker. Hope this helps answer your question.

You need to use the piece that comes with the set that allows you to use it directly on the cooktop. Otherwise, no. But it should be fine if you buy the complete 10-peice wok set. Enjoy.

Yes, but you do need a wok rack, the rack stabilizes the wok so it does not topple. Can use either side, place wok on top to see which side suits your need, also this prevents scorching.

Watch some videos on wok cooking on YouTube. That's how it's suppose to be :)

Yes you can cook on high. The pans do heat more slowly than other kinds of pans but that is the only difference I have noticed

Absolutely, but a reminder most of the new cookware is to be used as directed. They do NOT have to be on the highest heat, mainly because you boil the nutrition out of anything you are cooking. Bring your product to a boil and turn down the heat.Incidentally, I have a glass top stove.Happy CookingJ.

this wok heat's to 400 degrees and holds the heat very well, unlike many low quality wok's this one is high quality for the price. Very pleased

Holding heat in a wok isn't what your looking for. Even fast heat distribtion, durability, and ease of use are. It the best wok I've ever owned. Its just a bit heavier than steel wok and very easy to use and clean. Lodge makes great products but their woks are cumbersome.

I recommend using a pot holder or oven mitt once the wok has heated up. The handle gets hot when the wok is fully heated.

YES, You can stir-fry and deep fry, but obviously the depth of the wok would limit what could be deep fried. You could deep fry some shrimp tempura, but I wouldn't attempt a turkey!

Yes, if the wok is seasoned to begin with steaming should not be an issue. Make sure the wok is thoroughly dry before storing. I sometimes rub in not pour in a little oil . Rub in rub out. You can put it back into a hot oven to bring it back like new. I just rub it. No problem. When in doubt buy two you will always have one in case you ruin the first one. But I am betting you will do just fine. Best use for your wok is use it use it use it ....

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

I have not tried, but the directions indicate that you can. Since its a wok you would have a shallow pool of oil, not a deep vessel. From personnel experience, it might be easier to use a Dutch oven on a cooktop. One thing for sure: this wok gets HOT! Should keep the oil from getting too cool after adding food. Just fry in small batches.

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

I have not but BE AWARE THE HANDLE GETS AS HOT AS THE WOK AND IT IS HEAVY ....I would not have purchased it due to the burn hazard

I wouldn't because of the electrical element, but the wok is very easy to handwash. You can fill the wok with water to soak, if need be, but you don't want water near the element which is near the legs.

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
