Hi there, i spoil my non stick wok because of high heat.
i wanted to know which wok is the best for high heat. Wok hei is one thing, i just like cooking and stir fry with high heat. Now , i came across stainless steel or carbon steel are the best, then now got 3 ply and 5 ply.  Of course more ply is thicker but wanted to know is it necessary? so need advice here. Those high heat at home, not really that high like chinese restaurant burner. |

QUOTE(JK-Rai @ May 16 2022, 04:27 PM) The thicker ply it is the better heat retention the wok has. Thank you very much for your guidance!!I am using below and my stove is super high heat. For stainless steel you need as much ply as possible cause stainless steel conduct heat slower than steel/iron. So the more ply it has the more heat transfer can happen and even out the temperature drop when you drop in cold ingredient. But if you want carbon steel, are you prepared to deal with a carbon steel seasoning process? If yes, go for carbon steel/cast iron wok. My stove: https://www.rinnai.com.my/product/commercia...ooker/rtl-35ks/ My wok: https://www.lagourmet.com.my/cookware-nitrigan/ Besides that I have: Buffalo Stainless Steel Wok - used for 15 years still kicking Lodge Carbon Steel Frying Pan - for pan fry steak/chicken chops  Stainless steel need seasoning right if i not mistaken |
