So does anyone actually use a wok burner then?

[elliott]

Or are they just an expensive fad?
We are designing a new kitchen and most hobs these days seem to have these wok burners. I need to know - must I have one of these? Are they genuinely useful?

And does anyone actualy use 5 or 6 burners at the same time?
Should I just go for a good old fashioned 4 ring hob or is that a complete design no-no these days?

Well I have the wok burner but no wok!!! Not sure how that happened. Find 5 rings are handy at Xmas when cooking for a crowd.

I would if I had one but then I cook alot and am constantly frustrated that my wok will not get as hot as it should be.

we`ve recently had a new kitchen plus lovely range cooker and we certainly use it to the max and often use the wok burner but depends whether you like stirfries or not really!!

yes .. I do a lot

Yes, and not just for woks. We have seven burners altogether, and the large one if good, but not as good as the wok one. Sometimes you just really need a good burn!

I use mine for the wok, and for large pans if I need lots of heat.

I wavered a bit about getting it, but am very glad I have it, and use it lots.

Well I don't have a wok (could get one I suppose) and equally could do more stir-fries - is that really all I would use it for?
I would have to gamble that the ds's would actually like stir fries....

My wok burner is vicious ! It's too hot, I always end up burning stuff on it

OK, so maybe it would be useful. Any excuse to spend more money on my dream kitchen just a bit worried about eating into worktop space with a wide hob - and I was also flirting with the idea of a barbecue grill too....

Yep, I have one and it gets used. Dh is a chef so he uses it loads, not just for woks, also for big pans.

We have 6 rings but have never used them all at once.

It's tricky to have a wok on and another large pan imo.

don't own a wok either but I bought ours for size of oven rather than how may burners etc
