Yes, it is highly recommended to season the wok before its first use to build a protective, non-stick layer and prevent rust.
Yes, cast iron is very durable and can withstand metal utensils. However, avoid sharp or aggressive scraping that could damage the seasoning layer over time.
Re-seasoning is typically needed when the seasoning layer starts to wear thin, or if rust appears. Regular use and proper cleaning/oiling after each use will help maintain the seasoning.
It's best to avoid prolonged cooking of highly acidic foods in a newly seasoned or lightly seasoned wok, as it can strip the seasoning. Once the wok has a well-established seasoning, it can handle acidic foods for shorter periods.
No, never put a cast iron wok in the dishwasher. The harsh detergents and prolonged moisture will strip the seasoning and cause rust.
Ensure the wok is completely dry and lightly oiled. Store it in a dry place, away from humidity. If stacking, place a paper towel or cloth inside to protect the surface.
Cast iron takes longer to heat up than other materials due to its density. Preheat the wok over medium heat for several minutes before increasing to cooking temperature or adding ingredients.
Scrub the rusted areas with steel wool until the rust is gone. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the wok following the initial seasoning process.
Ensure the wok is properly seasoned and preheated before adding oil and food. Add a sufficient amount of cooking oil and allow the food to cook undisturbed for a minute or two before attempting to stir.
This is uncommon with cast iron. Ensure the stovetop is heating evenly. For the wok itself, verify the heat distribution by preheating it slowly and evenly before cooking.
Cast iron handles conduct heat. Use a heat-resistant glove or a potholder when handling the wok during or after cooking.
Initial Setup:
Before first use, it is recommended to season the wok. Wash it with hot, soapy water and a stiff brush to remove any factory coating. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a towel. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or flaxseed oil) all over the wok, inside and out. Place the oiled wok in a preheated oven (around 400°F / 200°C) for one hour. Let it cool completely, then wipe off excess oil. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a durable seasoning.
