Seasoning a Wok With Ease

Woks are prone to rust and buildups of sticky foods, especially if not seasoned properly before usage. Seasoning a wok permits the food to glide smoothly over its surface. Iron and steel woks should be seasoned properly before use.

Stainless steel types need to be treated because they are less porous than iron. Corn and peanut oil are also ideal cooking oils for seasoning because they possess a high heating point. Some even prefer to season woks with the use of an oven.

• Barbecue brush or a heat-proof cooking brush
• Paper Towels
• A bottle of peanut or corn oil.
• Stove top/gas stove
