This is why I’m NRY

Woks

The one pan you deliberately take as hot as the hob will go, which is why this is the category where paying more can get you less. Every coated wok here publishes a temperature ceiling, between 220 and 260 degrees. The uncoated carbon steel ones publish none, because they do not need one, and they cost a fifth as much.
