This is the best video I have seen for seasoning the wok. Your using normal gas burners on the stove with the wok attachment. I do the same. It's good to see your also using a fully curved wok, not one with a flay bottom. YOu got the wok noce and evenly coated without having to use an F14 jet engine on afterburners to season. At that heat you can actually damage the wok unless you know what you are doing.

Hye. Man what are you doing in the wok

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

After the first time cooking in it, all the nice bluing and seasoning scratches off one the wok. It’s just the way it is.

[@BeccaL2016]

you did great job, how come mine become yellowish color and not really even coated?

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

I think your wok wasn't hot enough, it takes time and much heat to get the wok to white hot, but you can do the heating proces again. The oil coating comes with extreme heat!

[@seikibrian8641]

"how come mine become...not really even coated?" If the coating isn't even, try using less oil and spread it out *very* thinly and evenly across all the surface of the wok. Then do several coatings, allowing the wok to cool down between sessions. If yours is a flat-bottomed wok you can cook on an electric burner, but the season process really works best on a gas burner, so an outdoor gas BBQ grill or a portable gas stove would be better than an electric stove. (Plus it will keep the smoke from the seasoning process outside.)

[@921553]

Good video, Sir! I just bought a new cast iron wok and learning to use it. I am struggling with black color coming from my wok and I am concern about it. Is it harmful to our health and how do you get rid of it? Any advise would really help me. Thanks for the answer in advance!

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

If it is from burned nutrients, it's as unhealthy as the burned nutrients or fats on the BBQ. A bad coating can also be the cause, in this case you better clean the wok correctly and just coat with some vegetable oil after using!

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Like any pre coated wok you find on the market, the black layer comes of in time, the same thing happens with teflon if you use metallic utensils, the hardness of the coating depends the heat intensity you apply during the coating, it's not a problem just keep your wok slightly oiled after use.

Hi :) Maybe you can help me. I did the seasoning 3 times and my wok looked awesome. Then I used a metal spatula (like I see all chefs do in videos) but it completely scratched the bottom. The whole seasoning layer has completely disappeared. Is that normal or should I only use wooden spatulas? And to fix the bottom - can I just heat another couple of layers oil or is it better to completely scrub the wok with soap and start the seasoning from scratch again?

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

you need to get the wok white hot (extreme heat) give it a try, you can always scrub the wok if it doesn't work!

Hello Wess ! I have many bookmarks for world cuisine on my computer, but for you, Sir, I had to create a category of its own. The Wess Woortman cuisine. As for a “ amateur” cook you are a Master, and now I see why so many “masters” claim your recipes as their own. Wasted so many years and food on all those phonies ‼️ This is a great video, but could you share what is the brand name of this wok? There is so many carbon steel woks, some called “hardened” steel woks, and there Shure must be a difference between them. It would make a huge difference on my pocket if I bought the right thing once and got it over with. I don’t know how many pots and pans of mine ended up in thrift stores, or in case of obvious rip offs, straight in the land field. Many thanks for your time in advance.
