Struggling to find a good wok for induction hob

I know it is best to use a wok with flames to hear it up to a high temperature. However we only have induction hobs.
please recommend a good flat based wok to use on an induction hob? I want to put it away in the cupboard when not in use so don’t want to buy one of those wok-specific huge curved plug-in induction units

We never found one. I ended up getting a slim butane single burner and using my existing seasoned wok. I think the brand was Iwatani, a Japanese make. It sits on the induction stove when I use it and isn’t a huge item to store.

Induction is so lovely to cook with generally, but it’s not suited to wok cooking.

That is a shame that there doesn’t seem to be any around

We got an induction hob with a gas burner for (i) my Chadwick pizza oven and (ii) DH’s wok.

Sorry, I’m not sure there is a suitable wok for a standard induction.
