WELCOME! Your guide to Karbon Steel™ cooking!
Karbon Steel™ is a trusted tool in kitchens across the world. Karbon Steel™
woks are suitable for use over an open flame, home ovens, and stove tops.
CAUTION – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – READ BEFORE USE
- Make sure your grill has fully cooled before handling to avoid burns.
- Some components may have sharp edges. Use caution to avoid injury.
- Do NOT add frozen food to hot wok.
- Use extreme caution, wok will become very hot during use. Use protective, heat resistant gloves to touch handles of wok during use.
- Caution, your grill lid will not fully close with the wok installed. Do not attempt to force lid closed with wok installed.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
- Preheat your oven to 400F (204C). Line a sheet pan with foil and place it on the lower rack of the oven for easy clean up.
- Wash your wok with warm water.
- Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper towel or kitchen towel.
- Oil your wok. Using a paper towel or kitchen towel apply a very thin layer of oil with a high smoke point 400F – 475F (204C – 246C) to the wok’s entire surface. Oils such as canola, sunflower, vegetable, flaxseed, grapeseed, or soybean provide the best result. We do not recommend using avocado, coconut or olive oil.
- Bake the wok for 1 hour at 400F (204C). It is best to place the wok upside down in the oven so the oil does not pool in the wok. Let the wok cool completely in the oven.
- Remove wok from oven and wipe any excess oil or residue.
- Repeat steps 4-6 twice more.
HOW TO SEASON
Regular seasoning of your wok provides for optimal results. The more you use and season your wok, the more non-stick it will become. Regular seasoning can be done in 3 simple steps.
- Oil your wok. Using a paper towel or kitchen towel apply a very thin layer of oil with a high smoke point 400F – 475F (204C – 246C) to the wok’s entire surface. Oils such as canola, sunflower, vegetable, flaxseed, grapeseed, or soybean provide the best result. We do not recommend using avocado, coconut or olive oil.
- Bake the wok for 1 hour at 400F (204C). It is best to place the wok upside down in the oven so the oil does not pool. let the wok cool completely in the oven.
- Remove cool wok from oven and wipe any excess oil or residue.
TIP: Wok should not be sticky to the touch. If sticky, simply heat and cool your wok until the desired coating texture is achieved.
Karbon Steel™ cookware will take on a variety of colors and patterns as you begin to season and cook with your wok.
The change in color and appearance is completely normal. The darker the wok becomes, the better its non-stick properties.
HOW TO CLEAN
Always clean your Karbon Steel™ product by hand. Never put the Karbon Steel™ product in the dishwasher. Never soak your Karbon Steel™ product.
- After your wok has cooled completely, wipe out any excess cooking oil with a paper towel or kitchen towel. If needed, use a plastic spatula to scrape stuck on food. You can also use coarse salt and oil as a scrub. For very stubborn foods, simmer some water in your wok for 3-5 minutes and then scrape clean with a plastic tool. Use extreme caution, the wok will be very hot. Drain the water and allow the wok to fully cool before moving to step 2.
- Wash your wok with warm water and soft sponge.
- Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper towel or kitchen towel. If you notice any residue on your towel, that is completely normal. That is some of the wok’s seasoning. No harm is being done to your product.
- Before storing, apply a very thin layer of oil or carbon steel seasoning wax to your wok. Always store in a cool, dry place. The thin layer of oil will protect your wok and keep it ready for your next cook.
- Sometimes, after cleaning, your wok will need to be re-seasoned. Please review the “HOW TO SEASON” section.
DOs AND DONTs
Do preheat your wok before cooking to help promote the non-stick properties of
the wok.
Do dry immediately after each use.
Do wash with warm water as needed.
Do rub a thin layer of oil or seasoning wax all over the wok before storing.
This will help prevent rust.

your wok. This could alter your seasoning.
If this occurs, re-season your product promptly.
Do not panic if you see rust on your product. This can happen from time to
time. Simply scrub away the rust and re-season your wok.
