High heat is crucial for stir-fry as it allows vegetables and meats to cook quickly while retaining their texture and color. The Maillard reaction enhances this process.
To determine the hottest burner on your electric stove, set all to high and boil a pot of water on each. The fastest boiling one is the best choice.
Using the right pan is essential for electric stoves; a flat-bottomed wok is ideal as traditional curved woks may not contact the heat adequately.
When cooking stir-fry, opt for a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado or peanut oil, to prevent burning on high heat.
