Method

Season

Heat until screaming hot!

Once it turns purple and blue, remove from heat and let it cool.

Rub oil all over the surface (use lots of paper towels). Heat again until smoking, then cool down.

A well-seasoned wok makes wok hey (AKA – ‘the breath of the wok’) as it infuses your food with smoky aromas.
