How to Care for Your Carbon Steel Wok

Carbon steel requires some maintenance, but proper seasoning helps improve cooking performance over time.

1. Build Seasoning: Cook with a small amount of oil or fat to help develop the seasoned surface.

2. Hand Wash Only: Avoid the dishwasher and prolonged soaking.

3. Dry Completely: Thoroughly dry the wok immediately after washing to help prevent rust.

4. Apply a Thin Layer of Oil: Lightly oil the cooking surface after cleaning to maintain seasoning.

5. Limit Acidic Ingredients Initially: Avoid prolonged cooking with acidic sauces until the seasoning is well developed.

6. Re-Season When Necessary: If rust develops, clean the affected area, dry thoroughly, and restore the seasoning.
