Available in black non stick or silver polished finish
Riveted wooden handle with stainless steel hook
Hand wash only
The Silver Polished Wok requires 'seasoning' before use
Seasoning your wok helps to protect the surface from deteriorating and helps to draw out any impurities or moisture in the metal
A well seasoned and cared for wok will develop a semi non stick surface over time.
To season:

Wash the wok well in hot water with a small amount of liquid detergent to remove the manufacturer's protective coating.
Rinse and dry the wok thoroughly.
Heat over very high heat until the metal changes to a blueish-yellowish colour.
Wash with cold water and dry over the flame. Repeat this step 2 to 3 times.
Then add about ½ cup of salt and stir for a few minutes.
Rinse and dry.
Use a paper towel to rub a thin film of oil (about 1½ teaspoons) over the entire inside surface of the wok.
Heat the wok on a medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.
Wipe off the oil with a new paper towel. There will be black residue on the towel.
Repeat steps 7 through 10 until no black residue is present on the paper (about 3 times). The wok is now ready to use. After use: Wash the wok in warm water with mild detergent and dry. Then follow steps 7 to 10 again before storing. This will ensure the wok maintains a protective coating.
Note: If you need to scour the wok, it is best to add salt and 'scrub' over heat.

    According to the instructions

    Then follow steps 7 to 10 again before storing.

    It will take more than 40 minutes after each use to maintain a protective coating.

    Fantastic quality for the price.
    I bought 2 about 5 years years ago thinking it wouldnt last and am still using the first one and I use it at least 4 nights a week, sometimes more.

    It gets treated poorly, constant high heat and as far as storage goes I wash with hot soapy water, put back on stove to dry and while hot spray cooking spray in it and wipe with paper towel.

    I had a dozen or so woks before this one, some as much as $70, some with ridiculous instructions like "don't use on high heat" which is essential for wok cooking, this is by far the best.

    ADD: Dont get non stick as it doesn't like high heat, just looked at box of my spare and its a crofton polished carbon steel version

    Steamer baskets look like good value too!

    It's a good wok.

    Seasoning is a standard procedure for carbon steel or iron cookware. Only needed when it's first time use and extremely dirty.

    For daily use, make sure it's dry and spray some cooking oil.

    For extended Period of storage, do the seasoning procedure and spray some oil.

    Iron or carbon steel cookware are safer than the non sticky coated ones because the fallen coating may cause cancer.

      Second that. Carbon steel woks are incredibly cheap. I got mine from kmart 3 years ago and still stands up to abuse.

      Get the bare silver version and season it!

    too bad it doesn't come with warranty.. ha!

      as long as you keep the receipt, you can ask for refund within 12 months. My case for a vacuum cleaner.

    Just reading it on their website, think there are two types: 1) black non stick 2) silver polished. Believe only the silver polished wok requires seasoning. The only question I had was, would they work on a ceramic cooktop?

      From the image it looks like it's a flat bottomed wok so it might.

    • jk168 on 02/02/2015 - 14:01

      i think so. I like this style of traditional wok because i can do pancake on flat bottom . You can still do tossing, pan fry , deep fry, steam.

      it works with electromagnectic flat top, too .
