How to Use

This pan is an uncoated iron vessel and requires seasoning before its first use to create a natural non-stick layer.

1. **Clean:** Thoroughly wash the new wok with hot water and a sponge to remove any factory oils.

2. **Dry:** Place the wok on the stove over low heat until all moisture has completely evaporated.

3. **Season:** Apply a very thin, even layer of a high-smoke-point oil (like grapeseed, canola, or lard) to the entire interior surface.

4. **Heat:** Heat the oiled pan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke lightly, then remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.

5. **Repeat:** For best results, repeat the oiling and heating process 2-3 times to build a strong initial seasoning layer.

Care & Safety

To maintain the seasoning, avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive scrubbers. Clean with hot water and a soft brush or sponge after use.

Always dry the pan thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent rust. You can do this by hand or by placing it on low heat for a minute.

Before storing, wipe a very thin layer of cooking oil on the interior surface to protect it. Store in a dry place.
