Induction cooktops have only recently been introduced into kitchens. And yet they have become almost indispensable for the cooks who have adopted them. induction is based on the principle of waves and magnetic fields.
In fact, beneath the plate is a copper coil that, thanks to the electric current, will react with the material of the wok so that it heats up. So this cooking works with materials that can conduct the heat produced by the plate, this is induction. This induction is possible thanks mainly to steel and cast iron.
The carbon steel wok is the wok for you if you like to cook on the go. Indeed, if you prefer to cook meat, it will be easy to sear it with precision in a steel wok. Thanks to the responsiveness of this metal, the heat from the plate is quickly transferred to your food. It will be hard to cook your meat wrong, no more excuses not to cook your duck breast!
The wok inox is lightweight and allows you to stir-fry your food with little fat. On the cast iron wok side, we look for slow cooking, it is the main dish simmering while you spend quality time with your family.
The advantage of enameled cast iron is that it retains and gently distributes heat, so your food does not overheat and retains its flavor. The cast iron wok is heavier but ensures even cooking and no stickiness, a plus for cleaning.
induction cooking is the assurance of controlled cooking. Indeed, with induction you control the temperature of the fire. The absence of flames prevents the risk of burning your dishes and provides more safety in the kitchen.
If you have the most advanced level of cooking technology, the induction cooktop, then you know how efficient it is! Cooking on an induction cooktop is always smooth and hassle-free. It leaves the chef free to walk around the cooktop to check that everything is in order. It takes minimal energy, the food is cooked in half the time and essentially takes care of the cooking for you.
Does a WOK work on an induction cooktop?
Why doesn’t the spherical wok work on induction?
Why must the wok be ferromagnetic to work on induction?
Which type of “wok” works on induction?
Will a wok work on an induction cooktop? Regarding the question of whether a wok works on an induction cooktop. Well, as long as the wok is made of ferromagnetic material and has a good amount of flat bottom, it can work on an induction hob!
One of the biggest advantages of cooking with induction woks is the quick response to temperature. This allows for faster cooking. For a wok with a round bottom, there are high-quality inductors on the market today that meet the requirements by having a wok-shaped surface (semi-circular, curved).
The wok rests on the curved surface of the induction burner.
These types are a bit expensive and are usually used in commercial establishments or restaurants. The difficulty of using a round wok on a normal induction cooktop is due to its round nature.
If you are looking for a wok for an induction cooktop, we recommend you check out the cast iron wok (32 cm). It is pre-cooked and has a flat bottom suitable for cooking on all hobs, including induction.
Why doesn’t the bulbous wok work on induction?
We know that the induction cooktop works by generating magnetic energy in the ferromagnetic cookware. So if there is no cookware, no heat is released, right?
Also, the bottom of the cookware must touch the induction base sufficiently for the induction process to work properly. In this way, the intermittent electric energy in the coil under the cookware generates magnetic energy. The ferromagnetic cookware allows the magnetic ions to pass through the pan. So contact with the base is very important for the induction process.
Cooks have tried cooking on a round induction base and claim it is a fluke. Sometimes the round base touching the induction plate is sufficient for the induction process and sometimes it is not. So the flatter the base, the better the heat development. Thus, sautéing at high temperatures with a wok with a round bottom will not work well. Next, let’s look at why the wok needs to be ferromagnetic.
Why must the Wok be ferromagnetic to work with induction?
There is a reason why cookware must be ferromagnetic to work on an induction cooktop. This is because the copper coil under the induction can conduct electromagnetic force through the wok and generate heat. If the cookware is not ferromagnetic, the actual induction of magnetic energy will not take place in the wok because it cannot pass through the wok bottom.
If no magnetic energy passes through, no swirling eddy currents are created in the cookware and no heat is generated. The actual induction process takes place in the cookware above the copper coil. Thus, the wrong cookware will cause the induction cooktop to fail. Let’s see what types of cookware work on induction.
What type of “wok” works on induction?
Traditional cast iron woks work best. This is because it is made of ferrous material. To avoid scratching the glass surface, silicone mats or thin silicone baking sheets can be used. Cast-iron woks should be reamed to prevent rusting and provide a natural non-stick surface. The only drawback is that the handles get very hot at high temperatures, making it difficult to lift.
There are also lightweight non-stick iron woks, stainless steel magnetic woks, carbon steel woks, enameled cast iron woks, pre-cooked woks, and ceramic-coated woks that work great on an induction stove. Magnetic stainless steel woks allow acidic foods to be prepared without fear of leaching. In the case of carbon steel and cast iron woks, the use of acidic foods such as lemons, tomatoes, and wine can destroy the culottage and carry the metal along with the food during cooking.
A major advantage of carbon steel woks over cast iron is weight reduction. It also heats up faster than cast iron and is cheaper, but a high-quality wok. The enameled wok can be done without a lid. Bare cast iron and carbon steel must be hardened. Enameled woks also come in a variety of colors and look great in any kitchen. An aluminum or copper wok will only work if it is coated with a ferromagnetic material.
Example: Iron or stainless steel of magnetic quality. Non-stick woks have a BPA-free non-stick coating. They are easy to use and have a lighter weight. They are usually woks with a stainless steel exterior and an aluminum interior. The non-stick surface allows you to cook and sear at high temperatures. Usually, the wok comes with a handle on the side. But there are also heavy-duty woks with two small handles on each side.
Another common variant is the wok with a small handle on one side and a long handle on the other. Woks suitable for induction are also sold with lids. Some also feature an internal grill to cook meat, fish, and sauteed vegetables. Choose a glass lid, as this will allow you to see the cooking process from above. The usual size of an induction-capable wok is 30-40 cm. Usually 30-40 cm wok is enough to feed four to six members of a family.
Large sizes can become problematic because induction also requires a large heating element and large sizes are difficult to clean in dishwashers. They are also difficult to store. Instead of lifting the wok to mix the food, use two spatulas to mix the food.
This can be a life saver, as lifting the wok can be tricky and the induction cooktop can go into standby or even turn off if the wok is lifted. Avoid spatulas made of ferromagnetic material that can cause scratches. Opt for wooden spatulas. Be sure to buy a few and keep them handy when cooking multiple dishes at once. This will avoid washing them repeatedly for other dishes.
Woks are a joy to use in some kitchens. They provide quick and even distribution of heat. With proper maintenance, they can last a lifetime. Most woks are dishwasher safe. Only plain cast iron and carbon steel require basting. Enameled woks, stainless steel woks, and anti-stick woks do not require basting.
They can be easily washed with warm water and mild soap. For a large family, they are an absolute must-have.
The amount of food cooked on a wok is greater than on a casserole because there is more surface area and therefore more food. Handles on one or both sides provide good balance and control when cooking on induction. Most woks suitable for induction hold temperature well. Temperatures can be simmered and cooked using an induction cooktop.
At last, the wok is a masterpiece and the secret of good Chinese and Asian cooking (stir-frying, boiling, steaming, baking, roasting) and there is no reason why a good flat-bottom induction-capable wok cannot be used with the most advanced induction cooking technology. Taking into account all the tips described here, woks on induction can be very successful. Go ahead and enjoy the delicious wok dishes!
