I don't have a wok, so can I use this with other pans?

Yes, as long as the pan/pot has the correct diameter or geometry to seal against steam escaping.

i've never not used a wok. It's hard to answer because it fits so nicely with one.

I don't have a Wok either, however I use it on top of my pot to steam my food! I don't believe you can put this on top of a Wok, I use a pot big enough for it.
1621226
Yes you can. I don't have a wok either and I just use a frying pan with water in it

Yes. That's what it's designed for. If you have a round bottom wok you will need a wok ring to hold it - and that might slide around. You are best with a flat bottom wok if you have a gas stove.

Sorry this is so late, I just got it. I would say no. I once bought a new ceramic stove it said not to use copper bottom and there was something aboutthe wok and wok ring that I thought I could not safely use it. I bought an electric wok and stopped using my Norpro. Now a decade plus later I am livingwhere I have a gas stove again and I bought the Norpro 10 piece wok set again this time from Amazon.

Cannot help you there as I do not have the other two. This one is solid heavy pan so I doubt the other will be any different.

I don't see why not. Although you can't use the highest of heat with this pan or it will bow which happened to me. Just make sure you follow the instructions.

Depends what you want to do with it. They are just two different shapes made from the same material. A wok is normally for stir frying. If you want to sear meat, fry an egg make pancakes etc... a wok isn't really the first choice.

I don't have a gas stove, but I don't see why not. Other than the ceramic non stick, it's a regular pan.

I don't know about a wok, but it needs to have a slightly larger than 10 inch diameter pot. I would not fit the pots I thought I could use it in so I returned it. It looked to be well made.

No, you do not need a wok ring. I use my wok on a gas cooktop and I do not need the wok ring to cook.

Yes, you can. It's Carbon Steel; but I don't think you are going to get the heat intended for this wok. This is a great heavy gauge wok; if anything is going to give you good results, this one will. The Wok Shop is great, email them with any other questions, they provide great support.

Absolutely. A wok is primarily designed for pan frying. It's shape allows food to be moved from the hotter bottom pan surface up the sides where it is less hot, or to slide the more finished pieces out of the wok into a bowl. You can pan-fry meat as well but my preferred instrument in that situation is a cast iron skillet.

You can, but you don't need to. Once the pan is seasoned, simple hot water will do fine.

I wouldn't because of the electrical element, but the wok is very easy to handwash. You can fill the wok with water to soak, if need be, but you don't want water near the element which is near the legs.

No. Only 13-inch Wok or Chef Pan. Please refer to below links. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00421AYKE http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMH41ZA

I honestly don't know. I wouldn't think it would work well. Woks are meant to have a very high heat in the center, and cooling sides. I use mine on a traditional electric burner with limited success. The only time I get true wok performance is when I take it outside and use it on my gas burner. If all you have is an induction burner, you may want to try a flat-bottomed "wok"...

No. I use Matfer exoglass spatulas found on Amazon for nonstick and regular pans.
