become thicker and heavier, ultimately creating a natural, nonstick cooking surface. This layer also adds enhanced flavor and seasoning to every meal...So let’s get started!

There are three main methods used to season a wok.

Stovetop seasoning
Oven seasoning
Salt seasoning

Every chef has his or her own preference regarding which method works best. Certain woks, depending on handle material, are recommended to be seasoned one way over the other to preserve the quality of the wok. All three of these methods, however, require the same initial step: The wok must be washed so the bare metal is exposed.

When manufacturers ship woks, they apply a factory oil to prevent rusting during transport, which can be caused by humidity or other environmental variables. This initial oil that is applied is not one in which you want to be cooking your food, so this is the first and virtually only time you should wash your wok with an abrasive sponge and soap.
To clean a wok for the first time, follow these steps:

Stainless Steel Standard Weight Scouring Pads 12/Pack

Fill sink with hot, soapy water.
Scrub the inside and outside of wok with a scouring pad.
Completely rinse.
Dry wok with a clean, dry towel.
Place on stovetop over mediumhigh heat to completely dry the wok and evaporate any leftover water.

Now that you’ve removed all the manufacturer's oil and have exposed the bare metal, it’s time to pick your seasoning oil or other form of lard.


How to Season a Wok

Stovetop Seasoning Method

Complete initial washing to remove factory oil.
Preheat wok over high heat until you can feel warmth radiating off the bottom of the wok from a few inches above.

You can also perform a water test by throwing a drop of water on the pan. If it’s heated enough, it’ll evaporate within a second, and it’s ready to be seasoned.

Add in about 2 tablespoons of your desired oil or lard, and reduce heat to mediumhigh.

If using lard, grip a towel with a pair of tongs, and completely cover the inside of the wok with lard. Once done, wipe away excess lard with a paper towel and let cool. You can now skip steps 38.

Add in fresh chopped ginger and scallions, or other spices of your choice.
Reduce heat to medium.
How to Season a Wok
As ginger and scallion mix start to soften, use your turner to actually spread the mixture to cover the entire surface of the inside walls, so your wok is covered from rim to bottom. Continue doing this for about 20 minutes over medium heat.

If you notice ingredients are becoming too dry or are starting to burn, add in more oil, a little at a time.
