There's a great thread in here somewhere where someone really got into the woks...

I have a Wolf open burner with 16,5000 btu burners

I have a carbon steel flat bottom from somewhere that I use

and a cast iron round bottom from WokShop.

The cast iron one is nice and very thin so I don't really think the "cast iron holds the heat" thing doesn't applies to this kinda pan, for better or worse. IMO not a big deal. It is hand-hammered or whatever so has a slightly rougher surface which is great if you use it a lot and season it right.

I suppose the best thing I bought was the Wolf Wok Burner top so you can really scoot that round bottom around without worrying about slippage.


You probably already know that 'hot as hell' is the trick so if your stove doesn't get there then take it outside and get a 100,000 btu propane wok burner and go nuts!
