Yes, cast iron cookware requires initial seasoning to build a protective, non-stick layer and prevent rust. Please follow the 'Initial Setup' instructions.
It is generally recommended to avoid harsh detergents or soaps, as they can break down the seasoning. Hot water and a brush are usually sufficient. If soap is necessary, use a minimal amount and ensure you re-season lightly afterwards.
The key is to ensure the wok is completely dry after every washing. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the interior surface after drying and before storing to create a protective barrier.
Yes, the flat base is designed to be compatible with induction cooktops. The cast iron surface itself is not non-stick out of the box; it develops non-stick properties through seasoning.
No, never put cast iron cookware in a dishwasher. The harsh detergents and prolonged exposure to water will strip the seasoning and cause rust.
Commonly recommended oils include vegetable oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, or shortening. Choose an oil with a high smoke point.
Cast iron woks are known for their weight due to the material's density. While specific weight varies, expect it to be substantial, requiring careful handling.
Scrub away the rust with steel wool or a scouring pad. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the wok as per the initial setup instructions.
Ensure the wok is properly seasoned and hot enough before adding oil and food. Pre-heat the wok thoroughly, add oil, let it heat up, then add ingredients.
This may be due to uneven seasoning or minor rust. Follow the re-seasoning process to build a smoother cooking surface.
Avoid using soap unless absolutely necessary, and always re-oil after washing. For burnt-on food, try simmering water or a salt scrub.
Initial Setup:
Before first use, wash the wok with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the entire interior surface. Place the wok on a stovetop over medium heat for a few minutes until the oil just begins to smoke, then let it cool. Repeat this seasoning process 2-3 times. This creates a natural non-stick surface.
