- I am using an induction burner and a Zwilling wok; I picked Zwilling because I heard they're the best. Full disclosure...I'm not affiliated with Zwilling. I don't know why, but Zwilling makes only [two woks](https://www.zwilling.com/ca/cookware/woks-stir-fry-pans/?prefn1=spec_substance&prefv1=Stainless%20Steel%7CCast%20iron%7CGlass) with a handle on the other side.

How can I be more successful in cooking my fried rice without sticking and making a mess?
