Yeah, I think you're right. Air is a poor at transmitting heat.

I'm thinking I'm going to sell this wok. It works great in terms of conducting heat, but it needs a different interior surface. I wonder if it's possible to possible to clad aluminum and carbon steel together? That would be a decent wok for induction.


Or on second thought, just thicker carbon steel? I'm no expert. 

ETA: Looked it up. Carbon steel has much lower conductivity than aluminum, so thicker would only be marginal. Still leaves me wondering if carbon steel be claded to aluminum?
