Seasoning

As black iron oxide would form on a steel surface when heated to HIGH temperatures, which is less reactive, more stable and adheres well with oils. When well-oiled, the oil incorporates in the black iron oxide surface on the steel; this provides a non-reactive coating that protects the steel. That's what we called 'season the wok'. What you need is a successful 'seasoning' and a correct cooking and maintain habit.

How to Season the steel wok'

STEP 1: Clean the steel wok and get the NAKED steel.

a. You MUST strip all this oil off, to expose the bare steel surface.
b. Now use a scouring pad and go at it with detergent.
c. Scrub, and rinse. Take a clean paper towel and rub the surface dry.
d. If paper towel still gets black, then scrub more. You want NAKED steel, with no oil on it.

STEP 2: Heating to HIGH temperature and get the blue steel.Move the wok very slowly until get entire wok get blue.

STEP 3: Cool the wok and oil it.

How to maintain

Rule 2: Never use a detergent to clean the wok except for the first time use detergent to clean the unseasoned wok. Only use hot water to clean the wok.
