How To Season A Wok

[@youkofox]

4 years old video and still helping first wok pan users like me. Thank you. Amazing video and easy instructions.

[@sonyag4404]

Who knew watching someone washing a frying pan to asian music was so relaxing? Great video.😂

[@johnroberts1505]

I've watched many videos on the subject and this one is by far the best one. Clear, to the point, and no unnecessary stories about personal anecdotes. Very well done. Thank you.

[@pizzaishappiness7994]

Agreed.

[@noordinm]

Agreed

[@philipaugustine201]

Absolutely true the very best demonstration.

[@diahasin1049]

Thank you so very much. You have shown it in detail without unnecessary things.

[@tomeu9872]

My wok is passed down generations. It's black now. Was told it wasn't this colour at first. It was more greyish i was told. Now? It's just shiny, glossy black. I didn't disappoint my grandma.

[@siddharthasiddhartha5471]

there is something so calming about you..... thank u for the video

[@BoringFisherman]

I watched this video multiple times before i seasoned my wok today. This sure is good information. Thank you.

[@LarryFogarty]

does the music start when you switch on the gas ?

[@WilliamAlexander-og4tq]

WOW. out of all the videos out there that look so scary, this one was so easy to follow, and my wok turned out perfectly seasoned, thank you! You are also quite beautiful and calm, it was a pleasure to watch this video :)

[@n_8708]

Before I say anything thank you because your tutorial is very good also I’ve been waiting to try my favorite Foods from Asia‘s cultures and by far some of the best ones are made in the wok so I really needed to figure out how to season it

[@TheMauser98a]

I enjoyed the entire video, I restore cast iron pans that I collect and cook with as a hobby. I want to add a wow to my collection, I will use your video to season it. Thanks for a great 👍 video. Cheers TS

[@kellycoote7149]

Excellent presentation and expert advice. How to season a new wok and maintain it thereafter. Wonderful. 👍

[@jackiefitzpatrick2906]

Best video , ever on wok care. I'm doing mine tomorrow and can't wait to see color change.

[@MirrorSound95]

This was by far the most simple, yet comprehensive video on the matter for me. The trick that i've been missing out on is to reheat and coat with oil after wash, and not use soap until beautifully darkened.

[@onekajun437]

I am from down south in the US...this is exactly how my momma taught us how to season and take care of my cast iron, with the execption of adding ginger.

[@miraeja]

😂😂😂

[@cosmix303]

Hello Sir don't know if you still are active but you said without ginger did you learn it with spring onions then? im asking because i have zero clue as of why to use them maybe someone can help me out a little bit im about to buy a wok that is seasoned already. Kindly Regards

[@norzki]

Ginger helps​ to remove a metallic taste and create a patina @@cosmix303

[@Iankameel]

@@cosmix303it might be due to the acidity

[@pachydermchang]

Watch this cause I hv just bought a new wok. Will follow your guidance. Thanks a lot!!!

[@robyncolledge7506]

Quiet and methodical and easy to stop - start and follow. Just the method. Marvellous

[@Rotinrice]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[@saminasamina6242]

I tried it & it worked. I strongly recommended. Thanks for make my life easy ❤

[@JACKHAMMER82A1]

I recently bought this wok after watching this video. Its a Great wok at half the cost of many others on Amazon. My wok came out just like hers after i seasoned it. Love cooking with it.

[@eunicejade9592]

Jackhammer82A1, is this wok you bought is stainless steel or cast iron? I would like to know as I have a new stainless steel wok but wonder whether I can use this method to season my wok. Thank you

[@-opus]

@@eunicejade9592 They say they bought the same wok as is in the video, the link is in the description. According to amazon it is carbon steel.

[@eunicejade9592]

@-opus, carbon steel wok is very good wok.👍

[@olmansolislopez5070]

Pura vida ! Muchas gracias.

[@Queen11188]

Thank you thank you, you made it simple and clear to understand.

[@ivyherstory]

Wonderfully well explained. Thank you for this video! Loved the added ginger and scallions! Subscribing!

[@fairlymoon448]

Actual useful video on how to season a wok!! I've click so many good where is nothing but useless talk! This has actions, instructions and it's clear. Thank you!! Guess i need a carbon steel wok not the stainless steel one...

[@laurelfleming4664]

Thanks so much. I never would have thought to use the ginger and green onion, but I can see why that would be helpful in developing that good seasoning. Otherwise it's very much like cast iron pan maintanence.

[@benthekeeshond545]

Good video! Thanks! A carbon steel pan works almost the same as a wok. The wok is better for stir-fried and works better with a gas stovetop. The pan is better suited to a flat electric stovetop. The wok is heavier than a pan. Assuming we are using both carbon steel wok and pan, they seasoned with the same procedure.

[@islynmercurius3338]

I love the way you clean the wok I will clean mine thanks for sharing 😋

[@lovebbqnoles367]

Wonderful, Wonderful Video and the music set the tone! Thanks so much!!

[@anittawhite1461]

😮Thank you,This is just Wonderful ,you show us the very easy way to season a wok. Again thank you sooo much.🙂

[@iamphoenix5376]

Exactly what I have done all my life. The heat changes the molecular structure of the pan. The oil is used to finish and seal the pan.

[@jameshuss1828]

Thank you so very much for sharing with us the skills and how to take care of it as well mam !. Good day to you !.

[@k.k.c8670]

The best I have seen about seasoning carbon steel stuff (mine are lyonnaise 12 inch and 8 inch skillets). No BS and 'natural'. I added some proverbial potato skin to the ginger and scallion as I had tons lying around from previous seasoning attempts.

[@timothyvanpelt_cyclist]

Thank you! 1. Remove protective layer with hot water, soap and wire mesh scourer (in and outside), and wipe it dry, 2. Turn stove to high and move all sides of the wok over flame. The wok will change colour. Can take 20-30 minutes. Allow it to cool. 3. Oil the wok. Turn stove to medium-high and pour some (canola) oil in wok. Spread over entire surface with paper towel. 4. Add some slices of ginger and green onion and some extra oil. Wok for about 10 minutes, then turn off stove, and remove food. 5. Wipe down with paper towels, then allow to cool, and give it a quick rinse (with soft sponge and no soap), and wipe dry. 6. Turn on stove to medium heat and dry wok on it (about 2 minutes). 7. Then rub thin layer of oil over surface of wok with paper towel (it can start smoking), this will prevent rusting. Do this every time you use the (new) wok. Over time it will develop a patina and become almost non-stick.

[@ironjohn]

When I heated the wok on my stove, the color didn’t change, even though it was on it for 2-3 hours. What should I do if the color does not change at all? I've tried it on a gas stove, but it didn't change color.

[@dreamfyre1811]

You're a hero bro thanks for noting all the instructions down

[@adamgc73]

[@SimonfromAus]

Followed your instructions and it turned out almost perfectly. I didn't wipe completely dry after washing with detergent, and it left some (very small) water marks on the inside, but apart from that I now have a beautiful blue wok! Thanks so much

[@joenelltvmix6209]

What is the purpose of that ginger Maa'm? Please rply...thanks

[@nielmay3664]

I have used the same method for cast iron cook ware, it will not rust if it does rust, just season it again.

[@h.a.9360]

Thank you for sharing. The process is very well explained. I just don’t get the ginger and green onions. Are they necessary?

[@kreshjagdeo6069]

Hello mme, thanks for your demonstration, i would like to know if we do it the same way with an inox wok,thanks for your reply

I season the outside as well in order to inhibit corrosion. Plus I like playing with flames 🙂

Thank for the info

[@shanke300]

Background song title? Heard it long time ago on a vinyl record. Superb demonstration.

[@rainyboy911]

This is soooooooo helpful, thank you!

[@NMranchhand]

Absolutely right. Did you hear her say, “Over time…”, this is key. There is no instant seasoning. This is the best video on the subject, but you have to cook to get that patina the everyone confuses with seasoning. My advice: after doing what she said, caramelize a whole bag of onions. When you’re done, you’ll have a patina AND a supply of sweet, dark golden onions for the freezer.

[@daveesuperstar7380]

That was fantastic! Thank you for explaining perfectly!!

Hi, I appreciate your video here very much for seasoning a new wok. May I ask which brand of woks you 'd recommend, not too heavy ones, for both flat bottomed and round bottomed woks. Thank you so much.

[@SketchNSavourJourneys]

When washing the wok after cooking on it should we use detergent or not a good idea? Or like I mean just wash it with sponge and then wiped it?

[@sreesweraam]

I’ve been looking for a good wok with handle for all my Indian cooking. I got the “Craft Wok” and just seasoned first time using her technique. It turned out to be exactly same as she described. Best video explaining all the details! Thanks a lot!!

I got an aluminium wok, so do I need to scrub it with thesame tool or would you recommend a different tool to remove the oil before burning the coating?

It is possible to season again my used wok?

My wife picked up a wok recently, but it is Teflon coated, so I will be shopping for another, more traditional one. I have been enjoying learning the basics of stir fries and Asian cooking/seasoning principles. So far everything has come out great. My first attempts may not be quite as authentic as they could be, but they still turned out delicious. I like the fact that with a few basic ingredients and skills one can cook some very tasty meals quickly and easily.

[@Rotinrice]

I am glad to hear you are enjoying wok cooking. Stif fries do taste different when cooked in a wok.

[@Kauffman578]

Avoid teflon, it is a neurotoxin.

[@ilw10]

Teflon is note good when heated. Harmful to health.
