How to Season a Carbon Steel Wok: Initial Setup Step-by-Step
Learning how to season a carbon steel wok starts with removing the factory coating. Wash the wok with hot water, dish soap, and a brush, then dry it fully over heat. Add a tiny amount of high-smoke-point oil and wipe almost all of it away. Heat the wok until the oil smokes lightly and bonds to the metal. Repeat two or three thin layers rather than adding thick oil. A new wok may not be perfectly non-stick at first, but regular cooking, drying, and light oiling will build a stronger seasoning over time.
