FAQs
What is the purpose of the thermo collar?
The thermo collar is a temperature indicator. It changes color (typically turns red) when the wok reaches the optimal cooking temperature, helping you achieve better cooking results and preventing overheating.
Can I use metal utensils with this wok?
No, it is strongly recommended to use only silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the premium non-stick coating from scratches and damage.
Is the Salter Excellence wok dishwasher safe?
While the durable construction may withstand dishwashing, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the integrity and longevity of the non-stick coating.
What types of hobs can I use this wok on?
This wok is compatible with all hob types, including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and induction stovetops.
How do I maintain the non-stick coating?
Avoid overheating the pan, use appropriate utensils, clean gently with non-abrasive materials, and season the pan occasionally with a small amount of cooking oil if recommended by the manufacturer for prolonged performance.
What does 'forged aluminium' mean for cooking?
Forged aluminium is a strong, durable material that heats up quickly and distributes heat very evenly across the cooking surface, leading to more consistent cooking results and reducing the chance of hot spots.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the wok.
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated. If using oil, ensure there's a thin, even layer. Also, check that you are using non-metallic utensils and that the non-stick coating is not worn or damaged.
The thermo collar is not changing color.
Ensure the pan is placed directly on the heat source and is receiving sufficient heat. If using an induction hob, confirm the pan is compatible and centered correctly. The collar may also be less responsive if the pan is not clean.
Uneven cooking results.
Verify that the hob burner or zone is appropriately sized for the wok's base. Ensure the heat is distributed evenly across the base by not overcrowding the pan. Allow the pan to preheat sufficiently before adding ingredients.
Difficulty cleaning the wok.
Avoid using abrasive materials. Soak the wok in warm, soapy water for a short period if food residue is stubborn. Gentle scrubbing with a soft sponge should suffice.
