Care Instructions

How to season your carbon steel wok

  • Before you start using your new wok, wash it in warm water (do not use an abrasive cleaner on the inside!)
  • Place it on the cooker over a medium to high heat for a few minutes and wait for all the moisture to evaporate
  • Once the pan is completely dry, add a couple of teaspoons of oil, and swirl it all around the wok (including the sides) to coat evenly
  • Once the oil begins to smoke, remove from the heat and allow to cool
  • Using a piece of kitchen paper wipe away the excess oil. This should be done at least twice before you begin cooking with it as this will ensure even heat distribution during stir-frying, and will help to lock in flavours
  • The wok is now ready to use

How to care for your wok

  • After each use clean with hot water only, allow to thoroughly dry and wipe the interior with oil to prevent rust and to build a protective non-stick patina
  • It is common for the natural material to darken over time — this will have no impact on its usage
  • Don't leave the wok to soak in water
  • Gentle use of a non-abrasive scouring pad is allowed
  • Always ensure that the size of the flame on the gas stove is properly controlled and does not flare up the side of the cookware and overheat the handle
  • Never leave an empty wok or one that has boiled dry on a hot element or burner
  • If left to boil dry, make sure you turn off the heat source immediately and do not touch the pan until it has completely cooled

Carbon steel is supposed to 'stain'

Review by Jacques J. on 27 May 2015

Woks made of carbon steel will discolour with use. If you keep using it regularly, it will eventually turn black from the patina that forms over months or even years of making delicious stir-fries. In fact, that's what makes a wok beautiful over time, and the surface takes on a bit of flavour too, which adds dimension to your stir-fries. So embrace the 'stains'. Don't try to remove them with soap Read more

Great product for the price, it's actually quite difficult to find a carbon steel wok.

Ignore the negative reviews, those people didn't season their wok properly, and have not taken the proper care - it is supposed to stain and will form a non stick patina over time the more you use it..

I did some online research first, having previously had issues with “non-stick” woks. Am delighted with my new steel wok, is more solid than I expected. Uses more oil, but there are healthy options like avocado oil which I am using. I clean it immediately with hot water and a plastic scourer which does the job perfectly. Important to dry it properly, then I rub a little oil into the inside sur Read more

This is an excellent product, the steel means you can heat it right up without fear of damaging non-stick, which is essential for Asian cooking. Once seasoned well and kept oiled before and after use, it doesn't stick at all! Love that it will just get better with use instead of losing non-stick and needing to be replaced. It doesn't stay with the clean steel look, it changes colour as the oil and Read more
