Cleaning Your Seasoned Wok

Now that you’ve created a beautiful nonstick coating on your wok, you’ll want to protect it. Don’t use abrasive materials like steel wool when cleaning, and never use soap on your wok. Just run it under hot water and use a soft cleaning brush or sponge to remove food particles. You may need to soak it in hot water for few minutes to remove stubborn bits.

The best way to dry a wok after it’s been cleaned is to place it on low heat until all the water evaporates. If you put your wok away before it’s completely dry, it will develop rust spots.
