1700W Concave Induction Wok Cooktop
This no-frills burner is for people who already own a round-bottomed wok. 25-inch coil is the largest here, and it heated the sides of my wok better than any other model.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you already own a round-bottomed wok and want the best heat up its sides. Skip it if you want a wok in the box.
My test results
450°F in 1 minute and 55 seconds; fried rice very good.

My notes
This no-frills burner is for people who already own a round-bottomed wok. The 9.25-inch coil is the largest here, and it heated the sides of my wok better than any other model. The maker says it heats continuously at low power rather than pulsing, and my hot-pot broth held a gentle simmer.
It has no wok included and the brand is little known, so check the return window.
