You'll have to get a model that actually delivers good power, which in turn means you need serious electric power, too.

I tried a flat bottom wok on a 3.5kW plate years ago (which maxes out a standard socket here with 240V and 16A), and it was underwhelming to put it mildly. To properly stir-fry you'll need a bit more ooomph. I'd guess 6 to 10kW would be a good range, which would imply 3-phase power.

    I've never found the flat bottoms delivered a good outcome no matter the heat source. Just not a wide enough surface area to impart the heat. I'd be keen to try the round shaped induction stove. If it delivers heat across that whole inverted dome i think that's the game changer required.
