FAQs
How do I clean the wok?
Hand wash the wok with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid using soap initially, as it can strip the seasoning. For stubborn food particles, you may use a gentle soap.
Can I use metal utensils?

What kind of oil should I use?
Use oil with a high smoke point, such as peanut, vegetable, or canola oil.
How do I prevent rust?
Dry the wok thoroughly after each wash and season it regularly. Store it in a dry place.
Can I use this wok on an induction cooktop?
Yes, the flat base of the wok makes it suitable for all hob types, including induction cooktops.
What should I do if food burns onto the wok?
Let the wok cool, then soak it in hot water to loosen the burnt food. Use a non-abrasive sponge or brush to scrub away the residue.
How do I re-season the wok?
Clean the wok, dry it, and heat it on the stovetop. Add a small amount of oil and spread it evenly. Continue heating until the oil starts to smoke, then let it cool.
