Instructions
Scrub the inside of the wok thoroughly with a wire mesh scourer and some detergent.
Then, give it a good rinse.
Do the same for the underside of the wok.
Wipe the wok dry with a towel.
Go outside and put on heavy duty gloves. Light your outdoor wok burner.
Move the wok slowly over the flame.
The wok will start to change to a steel blue color. It will take approximately 35 to 40 minutes for the entire wok to change to this color.
Turn off the burner and allow the wok to cool.
Wipe a very thin layer of oil over the entire surface of the wok with paper towels. You can also wipe the underside of the wok, if desired.
Light up the burner and allow the wok to start smoking.
Turn off the burner to allow the wok to cool.
Repeat this oiling, smoking, and cooling procedure 2 more times to give the wok a good initial seasoning.
The wok is now ready for use.
