FAQs
Can this wok be used in an oven?
This wok is designed for stovetop use only and is not intended for oven use.
Is the non-stick coating safe?
Yes, the non-stick coating is designed for safe cooking. Follow care instructions to maintain its integrity.
How do I season a carbon steel wok?
While this wok has a non-stick coating, if rust appears, you may need to clean the affected area and re-season by heating a thin layer of cooking oil over medium heat until it smokes, then allowing it to cool.
What is the best way to maintain the non-stick surface?
Always use non-metal utensils (wood, silicone, nylon) and clean by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scouring pads.
Can I use high heat with this wok?
Yes, carbon steel is excellent for high-heat cooking. However, be mindful of the Bakelite handle, which can withstand moderate heat but should not be exposed to direct flame or extreme prolonged high heat.
What are the dimensions of the wok?
The dimensions are approximately H:9.0 x W:31.0 x D:56.0 cm.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface
Ensure the wok is adequately preheated before adding ingredients. Check that the non-stick coating is not damaged. Use sufficient cooking oil as recommended for the recipe.
Wok is difficult to clean
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal utensils. For stubborn residue, simmer a small amount of water in the wok for a few minutes, then gently scrape with a wooden or silicone spatula before washing.
Rust spots appearing on the wok
This indicates the carbon steel may have been exposed to moisture. Scrub lightly with a mild abrasive (like baking soda paste) or steel wool on the rusted area only, then wash, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the entire surface.
Wok handle feels loose
Check the screw attaching the handle. If loose, carefully tighten it with an appropriate screwdriver. Ensure not to overtighten.
