FAQs

What is the best way to season the wok?

Wash, dry, and apply a thin layer of oil to the cooking surface. Heat over medium-high heat until smoking, then let cool and repeat several times.

Can I use metal utensils with this wok?

Metal utensils can scratch the surface. It's recommended to use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the seasoning.

Is the wok dishwasher safe?

No, the wok is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the seasoning and prevent damage.

What hob types are compatible with this wok?

The wok is compatible with gas, glass, ceramic, halogen, induction, and electric hobs.

How do I clean burnt food from the wok?

Let the wok cool, then soak it in hot water to loosen the burnt food. Use a non-abrasive sponge to scrub gently.

How often should I re-season the wok?

Re-season the wok as needed, especially if food starts to stick or rust appears. Regular seasoning helps maintain the wok's performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, the wok requires seasoning. Wash the wok with hot, soapy water, and dry it thoroughly. Seasoning the wok involves coating the cooking surface with a thin layer of oil and heating it over a medium-high flame until the oil begins to smoke. Allow it to cool and repeat the process several times to build up a protective layer.

This wok is compatible with gas, glass, ceramic, halogen, induction, and electric hobs. The flat base ensures stable contact with the hob surface.

To clean, wash the wok by hand with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents, which can strip the seasoning. Dry the wok immediately after washing to prevent rust. Re-season the wok periodically to maintain its non-stick properties and protect the carbon steel.
