FAQs
Does this wok come pre-seasoned?
No, the Mineral B series requires a seasoning process before its first use to create a functional non-stick barrier.
Can I use this on an induction stove?
Yes, the wide, flat base is designed specifically to maintain contact and stability on induction cooktops.
Is this wok dishwasher safe?
No, you must hand wash this wok to preserve the seasoning and prevent rust.
What kind of oil should I use to season it?
Use a high-smoke point oil like grapeseed, canola, or sunflower oil.
Can I cook acidic foods like tomato sauce in it?
It is recommended to avoid cooking highly acidic foods in the wok until a very strong, dark patina has been built up.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
The seasoning layer may be thin or damaged. Re-season the wok by applying a thin layer of oil and heating until it smokes.
Surface shows signs of rust
Scrub the rust off with a steel wool pad, rinse, dry thoroughly, and re-season immediately.
The bottom is discolored
Discoloration is normal for carbon steel cookware due to high heat and seasoning buildup; it does not affect performance.

Care Instructions:
- After Use: Hand wash with warm water and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents that strip the seasoning.
