Can I use a wok on an induction cooktop?

Yes, you can use a wok on an induction cooktop, but there are specific factors to consider. Induction cooktops require cookware that has a magnetic base for effective heat transfer. Therefore, not all woks are compatible with induction cooking. When selecting a wok for an induction cooktop, it is advisable to choose one that is made of materials such as stainless steel or cast iron, as these are typically magnetic. Some traditional woks that are made of carbon steel may also work if they have a flat bottom that enables good contact with the induction surface. Additionally, it is a good idea to check if the wok has been specifically labeled as induction-compatible. Using a flat-bottomed wok may provide better results, as it ensures maximum contact with the cooktop, allowing for optimal heating and cooking efficiency.
