FAQs
How do I season the wok?

Can I use metal utensils with this wok?
While metal utensils can be used, using wooden or heat-resistant silicone utensils will help preserve the seasoning and prevent scratching the surface.
Is this wok dishwasher safe?
No, this wok is hand wash only to protect the seasoning and ensure its longevity.
What kind of oil should I use?
Use cooking oils with a high smoke point, such as peanut, vegetable, or canola oil, for the best results.

Wash by hand with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge after each use. Avoid harsh soaps initially as they can strip the seasoning. Dry thoroughly and re-oil.
