Thank you so much! I have had my carbon steel wok for a couple of years and have had a constant struggle with food sticking to it. I have tried the oven-baking method to season it (which is what the wok seller recommended) several times; it would work for a few cooking sessions but the seasoning would flake off, and food would stick so bad that the wok was unusable. I would strip the wok and try again, only to have the same problem. Finally decided to get serious about this, and I thought I'd try your method. My stovetop is induction, so I don't have access to a flame, but I borrowed a friend's camp stove, set it up on my back patio so I didn't set off the smoke alarm in the house, and it worked like a charm. I have been cooking on it now for about a month, and so far it's working beautifully! No sticking. Thank you, thank you, thank you; I've renewed my friendship with my wok and am happily enjoying my favorite stir-fry dishes again. You rock! (And you're gorgeous, BTW.)

Those of you who have one of their woks with the second little wooden handle on the other side...be careful it's almost impossible to do this over a gas range without burning the handle I tried to be careful but it still caught on fire for a second. I also think I didn't properly scrub the manufacturer's coating off in the first step so really make sure you spend a lot of time on this part - though I'm never able to make the circle where the sticker had been placed to fully disappear which seems odd. Love these videos though and your energy/vibe is lovely I'm off to watch more!

@jslonisch 2 жыл бұрын

If you have an ordinary carbon steel (not cast iron) wok then that first burn creates a layer of oxide on the surface. This is a home-made non-stick coating. If you skip this step you will be relying completely on the seasoning oil to prevent sticking and it won’t be as effective. But if your wok already comes with a non-stick coating from the factory then you shouldn’t burn it.

Would fish oil be more traditional, or does it not matter? Curious your thoughts. If I should re-season Should I clean it with electrolysis like a cast iron pan?? Or will a stove burn do??

Hi, we've just purchased the exact wok you're using from School of Wok. Question: What is the "laquer" made from that you have to "scrub off" in Step 1? Are the fumes harmful when burning it off (if some of this substance remains in the Wok when being burnt in the following steps)? Thanks!

@StuninRub 2 жыл бұрын

There should be no lacquer layer, but it is not uncommon for them to still be coated by the machining oil. The "burning" off process is also not for "burning" anything either and a common misunderstanding. The "burning" process is really for resetting the temper of the carbon steel as well as adding a layer oxide onto the wok, sort of like steel blueing.

Hello, I notice on your website that you guys sell a 12inch regular wok but also a non-stick version (black). I am trying to find the right wok for me and have been reading about it, and one of the things I read is that a wok with a non stick layer is not the right choice due to the high heat that is needed to wok corectly. Apparantly non stick layers cannot handle this heat? What is the upside of the regular one compared to the obvious advantage of the non stick wok? .

@SchoolofWok 5 жыл бұрын

The carbon steel woks need seasoning, which creates a natural non-stick layer buy requires a bit of effort. The non-stick pan doesn't need this, but is a time saver!

It's meant to go black, that means it is seasoned - Lee

It took me hours for the colour to change on all parts of the Wok - is that normal? It was on the wok burner on high....I haven't attempted the oil part yet as boiling hot and sweating! Thanks for the video all the same.

You're supposed to rub oil into the wok before putting it on the heat - Lee

About 15 years ago I bought a round bottom carbon steel wok at an estate sale that was still in the original sealed box. Everything in the box was dated 1971. I never did the first burn but have been seasoning it like a cast iron pot, basically everything you did after the initial burn. It's not 100% non-stick. Should I take it all the way down to the metal and season it like it was a new wok?

Nope! If you've been using it and are happy with the results, there is no need to season it again. This is needed for a new wok - one that has never been used to cook food in before.

COOL! But why can't I just buy a pre seasoned wok?? Do I ever have to season it again? WOW I gotta buy a bow torch too? My goodness....

Follow all your cooking receipts Jeremy, you're a great teacher but that seasoning video seems to me a bit drastic when you first purchase your nice new shinny wok, Yes I know it makes sense. Another guy on here seasons them in his oven, where do you draw the line? Keep up the good "Wok". Richard.

No matter the process of heating, you will always need to do all of the other stuff!
