Can I use metal utensils with this wok?

Yes, you can use metal utensils, but be mindful of scratching the seasoned surface. Over time, the seasoning will become more durable.

How do I clean my Craft Wok?

Wash by hand with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid soap to preserve the seasoning. Dry thoroughly after each use.

What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?

Use an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil.

How often should I re-season my wok?

Re-season when you notice food sticking or if the surface appears dry. This typically happens every few months with regular use.

What should I do if rust appears on my wok?

Remove the rust with steel wool, re-season the wok, and make sure it is dried thoroughly after each use.
