Strata 14" wok

Just wanted to mention that I recently bought the 14" Strata 3-ply nitrided carbon steel wok after reading about it in this sub, and it's a fantastic find for my application. I'm cooking on an induction stove and I tried 2 other carbon steel works with no joy. They only heat up at the flat bottom and you can comfortably touch them an inch up the curved wall and they're barely warm. That really makes for a lousy stir trying experience.

The Strata has an aluminum layer sandwiched in between the outer carbon steel layers, and to my surprise, it makes the wok really hot all the way to the upper edge, even smoking the thin oil layer up on the slope. It's a must if you're on an induction stove!

The nitriding is just a maintenance bonus feature which I certainly appreciate.
