1700W Induction Wok with Stainless Wok
This looks like the same burner as #2 sold with a stainless wok. The burner is great; the wok is the weak link.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you make hot pot and soups as often as stir-fries. Skip it if you want the stainless wok to fry without sticking.
My test results
450°F in 2 minutes and 10 seconds; fried rice good.

Pros and cons

- A wok is included.
What I didn't like
- The stainless wok sticks; carbon steel works better.
My notes
This looks like the same burner as #2 sold with a stainless wok. The burner is great; the wok is the weak link. Rice stuck to the stainless wok until I swapped in my carbon-steel one. It’s the best pick here for hot pot nights thanks to its steady low heat.
