Default Do I need/want a wok?

Probably not. A good one won't be cheap, is hard to store,
and needs a very hot burner to work properly. You will probably use it
a few times then it will sit in the back of the cupboard till you give
it to Goodwill. (Electric woks are useless, by the way--they don't get
hot enough.)

A few skillets in different sizes will be much more useful.
