Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
First Use: When you receive your wok, wash it thoroughly with soap and warm water to remove the protective oil. Dry it up with a paper towel, then wipe a thin layer of oil all over the wok. Finally, fry up a bunch of scallions/green onions with a generous amount of oil until they turn black.
Regular Care: Use a wok brush to scrub the wok with warm water. Make sure the wok is smooth to the touch before you put it back on the flame to dry it.
Carbon steel is a reactive metal, so it should always be dried thoroughly before storing to avoid rusting.
Your wok will get darker with every use. This is part of the wok's natural aging process and actually helps to make the wok non-stick.
Precautions
Precautions
Avoid cooking acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or vinegar in this wok within the first few months of receiving it. In the beginning, the seasoning has not yet built up, and cooking acids will strip the seasoning of the wok and you will have to reseason it.
If you accidentally cook something acidic in this wok, do not worry. You just need to reseason the wok.
Do not put this in the dishwasher. It will completely strip the seasoning. However, if you accidentally put it in the dishwasher, you can start the seasoning process again.

Our Forging Process At a Glance
There are a total of 12 steps of the forging process. These 4 steps are just a glimpse of the full process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these pre-seasoned?
Yes, these are already seasoned by our expert craftsmen. We do this because it is tough to season woks at home without an industrial stove. Seasoning it also prevents any rust that might occur while it is being shipped.
Can I use this on induction?
Our round-bottom woks can not be used on induction, but our flat-bottom woks can! Be careful though, induction tends to warp carbon steel if you heat it up too fast. We suggest you start on the lowest heat setting and slowly bring the heat up. After using it like this for a month the steel will get more resilient, and you should be ok to use higher temperatures.
Can I use these on my gas burner?
It depends on where you live. Most homes in the USA have a flat top burner, so you would need to purchase a wok ring to put over the burner so that the wok has a stable base to sit on.
How heavy is this wok?
Our hand-forged woks are about 2-3kg depending on the size that you order. This is quite heavy for people who aren't used to cooking with forged-iron or cast-iron.
What's the difference between forged iron and cast iron?
Forged iron tends to have a lower carbon content than cast iron, which makes it less brittle and more resistant to cracking. Additionally, forged iron is typically more resistant to rust and corrosion than cast iron, which makes it a better choice for outdoor use or in humid environments. However, wrought iron is generally more expensive than cast iron and can be more difficult to find, as it is not commonly produced in large quantities.
Can I use metal spatulas with this wok?
Yes. In fact, metal spatulas are often preferred for stir-frying because they can scrape up any bits of food that might be stuck to the bottom of the wok, allowing them to incorporate into the dish and add flavor.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
NO! Dishwashers are too harsh and abrasive, causing damage to the wok's surface. Instead, it's best to wash a carbon steel wok by hand with hot water and a mild detergent, and then dry it thoroughly on the burner before storing it.
