INITIAL USE AND GENERAL CARE:
Rinse & Dry: Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely. To ensure all moisture is removed, place the wok in a warm oven for 15 minutes or heat gently on the stove.
Heat Control: Cast iron retains and distributes heat efficiently, so cooking on low to medium heat is recommended.
Avoid Overheating: Excessive heat can damage the natural seasoning and cause food to stick.
Utensil Care: Avoid using sharp metal utensils that may scratch the cooking surface.
Preheating: Always preheat the cookware on low heat for 5 minutes before increasing the temperature.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Step 1: Wash
Hand wash only. A small amount of mild soap is acceptable. For stuck-on food, use a pan scraper. For stubborn residue, simmer a little water in the pan for 3–5 minutes, then scrape gently once the pan has cooled slightly.
Step 2: Dry
Dry immediately and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. Note: A slight black residue on the towel is just natural seasoning and is perfectly normal.
Step 3: Oil
Apply a very thin layer of cooking oil to the entire surface. Use a paper towel to buff the pan, wiping away any excess oil until the surface looks dry.
Step 4: Store
Store in a cool, dry place once completely cooled. If stacking or storing with a lid, place a paper towel between the lid and the pan to allow for air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
RE-SEASONING YOUR CAST IRON:
Remove Rust: If there is significant rust, fill the cookware with water, bring it to a boil, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Discard the hot water and let the cookware cool down. Then, scrub off the rust thoroughly.
Clean: Wash the cookware with hot water and a stiff brush. Rinse and dry completely.
Preheat: Preheat your oven to 200°C (approx. 400°F), or prepare an outdoor grill.
Apply Oil: Using a clean, lint-free cloth or a heavy-duty paper towel, apply a thin, even layer of warm oil, melted vegetable shortening, or lard over the entire surface of the cookware.
Wipe Excess: Thoroughly wipe off any excess oil to prevent sticky spots from forming during baking.
Bake: Place the cookware upside down on the outdoor grill (to avoid smoke indoors) or in the preheated oven. If using an oven, line the bottom rack with aluminum foil to catch any oil drips.
