Burning and Seasoning your Wok Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@tapster15]

I have 'seasoned' quite a few woks over the years. 'Seasoned', because I followed so-called tried and tested methods, and nothing has quite worked as I hoped. I bought a new 18-inch wok in Thailand, with a wok-burner very like yours, before we moved to Scotland. Now in Aberdeenshire, I fired up the burner and it was everything I expected. I seasoned my new wok exactly as you did and the method was quick, simple and completely successful! The factory shmoo burned off as yours did and the wok blued in the same way. After blackening the onion, I cooked four pounds of chicken breast that was at risk of going off because we had tilers working in the house and couldn't get to the fridge! In short, it turned out perfectly, especially as I'd cooked the chicken with a lot of sugary oyster sauce. There was no sticking to the wok and it cleaned perfectly, just with hot water. Best method ever!

Thank you David - thank you for taking time to watch! Wok-On!

[@simpledj509chromo7]

If you have the heat, this is absolutely the best method of seasoning a wok. On an electric stove, just bake it.

Many thanks, Greg. Looking forward to more simple and clear cut instructions from you. Cheers.

[@edz2974]

Greg, glad Spring is here as I’m planning lots of wokking. To anyone thinking about getting this wok burner, do not hesitate. After years of looking and complaining about not enough heat I came upon Greg’s site. I purchased the burner and cart since I already had everything else. Well I haven’t been happier. The heat is everything you need for a quick sear and a fast meal. One of the best things about the Wonder Wok burner is that is very fuel efficient. You will save money but be prepared to move quickly as things cook fast. It’s beautiful ! I highly recommend this burner, it’s fantastic. This is a great product and the cart is well built. Get it !

Hello, I don't have a jet airplane afterburner, just a decent kitchentop burner. Does it work the same way and I only need some more time to burn the wok? Please help. Thank you

[@thewonderwok]

Hello @TuranKristian, I admit I have never seasoned a wok on a conventional stove, so I cannot answer that question. The woks I have always used in the industrial kitchen & at home have mostly had a coating on them which is a factory seal that protects them from rusting after manufacture. Because this coating when it burns may have a lot of smoke & an unpleasant order I would be sure to have a good ventilation system. I have heard of folks doing it in their ovens, for me, that would depend on If the wok has a factory seal or if it does not have a factory seal on it. (I have always had my high heat system of one kind or another at home as it is one of my favorite foods to cook). I hope this may serve as some helpful information.

[@BCFitzGerald]

@gregwong I have an American made 14 inch wok just like the one you’re tempering. Did mine on my friend’s gas stove top in 20 minutes. Used my ladies size leather welding gloves. No need for channel lock pliers at all. Mine looks as drop dead gorgeous as your too. I can’t have gas nor propane in this rental apt. I love your videos.

How would you do this on the new wave mosaic wok?

[@thewonderwok]

Not sure!

[@mpmarvin999]

I seasoned my wok, believe it or not, on my outdoor bbq grill over coals 😂. It took about 10 times the amount of time you did but it got done. I thought I had it done when it turned black from silver. My friend and I went down into the man cave and watched a quick video and noticed it went from silver to black to silver again and we were like “oh man we’re only halfway done”. So we went back outside , and fired up the grill again, charcoal by the way, and got it from black to silver. At this point we knew it was seasoned or at least the finish was off.

[@andriesgouws8206]

Hi where did you buy that burner………

[@thewonderwok]

thewonderwok.com

[@larrysong953]

That's a nice wok in one piece with solid handle

[@alexyu6928]

It is a continuous piece of carbon steel that was formed into the wok shape and the handle, however, the handle is hallow not solid. Because the handle is hallow there isn't much metal to conduct the heat so it doesn't get too hot during cooking. I use a small kitchen dish cloth and fold it twice and use it to grab the handle during cooking.

[@anthonypadua945]

I use the same technique, the difference is I sear and burn the onions at high heat that give me a classic black surface of the wok

I just got my first wok as a gift. It is carbon steel and I followed the directions it came with but it didn't say anything about it turning colors so my fear is I didn't burn off the factory oil finish. I continued on to clean it and season it and fried vegetables in it as you did the onions. My question is now that I have a wok that still looks black as it came originally, can I somehow start new again to burn off the factory oil? I really don't want to have factory oil in our food. Thank you in advance.

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

I have a flat bottom Yosukata wok that I wasn’t able to do that vital tempering of that steel like @TheWonderWok, Greg Wong, just did in this video. I could only do the aromatics discard seasoning to make it somewhat non-stick. Since last January, was finally able to buy 2 of the Wok Shop (in San Francisco Chinatown) USA made carbon steel woks (Cantonese dual handle flat bottom and, recently, the much sought after 14 inch flat bottom hollow handle Pow wok. Got both of the newest woks tempered by going to a friend’s house to use her gas stove. Finished the rest of the process at home on my crummy electric old coil burner stove. Last night, (here’s your TIP, to strip that old seasoning off your wok: You need to scrub all that old seasoning off the wok, inside and out, hot soapy water with a steel wool pad. Yes, you can use an SOS pad, in this case only. Rinse all that soap, etc. completely with warm water. NEXT: Make a paste with baking soda and full strength white vinegar, spread it all over the inside of the wok and allow it to set for 20 minutes then do the same to the back side of the wok. Completely rinse all that baking soda/vinegar paste off with COLD tap water. The reason for using cold water is to prevent flash rust. Quickly and thoroughly, dry the wok completely, everywhere followed by setting the wok, upside down over your largest stove burner on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes to be certain the wok has no hidden water in the pores of that steel. Let the wok cool completely and, when you look at the wok now, you should see that all that former oil seasoning is gone. Now, you can prep your wok over a high gas flame stove burner as Greg Wong so adeptly and professionally demonstrated for us. Happy wokin’ 😎

Hello Bryan, You know with the woks I use now- when I first get them, its is good to use warm water dish soap $ soft scrubbing pad, they have an oil + factory seal on them, After I clean off the oils I then proceed with my burn. Only when I'm traveling with my setup do I clean everything with soap, to keep the interior of my vehicle from getting the restaurant odor.

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

This is how most chinese chefs season their wok. No multi layer oil burning bullshit and all(which results in weak seasoning, flaking off). The best seasoning is simply to just use it until a proper sturdy non stick patina develops. Use it, scrub it clean, and keep using it again. Don't worry about some of those seasoning coming off because if they can come off during washing, they'll certainly come off during cooking. Those that stays on are the seasoning you want, which eventually will give you a strong patina that bites on the wok surface.

Marvelous video. 3 Questions tho. 1) I just got my wok. It looks very similar to yours. The shop said it is pre-seasoned. Do I need to do this procedure? 2) In all other seasoning videos I’ve seen, during the burning phase, they start out with a silver/grey wok and it gradually turns black. In your video it is the opposite. Why is that? 3) How it that wok manufactured (ie hammered or pressed or spun etc)?

[@thewonderwok]

Soul Dreamer hello- if your wok is pre-seasoned, then you can start using it. You can do the final step with cooking some pungent veggies such as onions-spring onions, garlic etc. The woks I use are stamped & have a factory seal to protect from rusting that must be burnt off before cooking.

[@souldreamer9056]
