I have good luck with a flat bottomed wok. I originally bought an electric wok
when I got my glass-top electric stove but I was very dissatisfied with it
because it just didn't get hot enough to do the job. The flat bottomed wok on
the stove top takes a bit to get hot, but once it's hot I have to work fast so
that I don't burn my ingredients.
