20kW×2 Double Induction Wok Cooker with Smart Pan Detection

Sensors under each 500mm glass zone scan for ferromagnetic metal. Place a carbon steel wok or cast iron pan down and the circuit closes — heat starts. Lift it and power cuts within milliseconds. Each of the two 20KW burners runs its own independent sensor, so one side can cook at full output while the other stays in zero-energy standby with no-pan, no-heat protection.

Not at all. The system has a built-in grace period for quick lifts during tossing. Power pauses quietly — no beeping, no error codes. When the wok lands back, the smart memory chip restores your exact power level in under half a second. You never need to touch the controls. The cookware sensor works in the background so your cooking flow stays smooth.

Pan detection senses the cookware itself, not what is inside it. An empty wok on the glass will still receive heat. But the cooker also has separate anti-dry-heating and anti-overheating safeguards. If temperature climbs past safe thresholds, the system triggers a protective auto power-off. Together these two layers cover both empty-surface and overheated-pan scenarios.

Gas burns fuel nonstop whether a pot is there or not. This induction wok station outputs nothing when no pan is detected — zero waste during plating, swaps, and prep pauses. Pair that with 90–95% induction efficiency versus about 45% for gas, and kitchens can cut annual energy costs by up to half compared to a dual gas wok range running the same hours.

Any ferromagnetic material — carbon steel woks, cast iron pots, and magnetic stainless steel like 430 series. These are standard in commercial kitchens, so your existing wok set likely works already. Aluminum, copper, and ceramic will not trigger detection, and the system stays in safe standby. A quick magnet test on the pan base confirms compatibility.
