Thinking about buying a wok. I already know I want a carbon steel

I think they all come pre-seasoned.
Just heat up some oil in it and swirl it around

They have wok pans at Ikea for like 20 bucks, get one of those

Whats special about them?

They've got heart, damn it.

They fit all the ingredients I'm using to stir fry.
There's nothing like loosing 3 pieces of chicken and a bunch of vegetables when you're moving things around.

What kind of stove do you have? Cause electric stove tops really don't work with the shape of a wok

Gas.
Hated my electric so much in my old apartment that I moved.

Wise move

That is ideal, but most people dont.
We go like this, and its fine.

I own one of those rings but due to the fucking stupid design of the gas stove I have in my house I can't use it.

I want one of those big ass 50 Mj burners you can buy online

The problem is I'm renting and using that outside with a gas bottle and wok with oil flying everywhere would make a huge mess that I'm too lazy to clean up

i have one with a flat bottom so i can use it on my stove. looks like the one in pic related. would highly recommend. you can throw a whole bunch of different things in it and it cooks it all great

For normal gas stoves, go for flat bottoms.
