The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health – and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

    The only drawback for induction is for wok tossing. Western cooking prefers to have heat evenly distributed across a flat bottomed pan where Asian wok cooking prefers a concentrated heat source at the bottom of a round wok to have a gradient of heat. There are curved induction surfaces designed for wok cooking but they are very niche and not widely available, even in Asia.

      I have no experience to inform this guess, but I wouldn’t think even properly-shaped induction would work all that well anyway, considering how often the wok is getting picked up off the burner to flip and stir the food in the wok cooking videos I’ve seen.
