Product Usage Instructions

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Green Earth WokTM, please follow these care and maintenance instructions:

Do not use sharp utensils as they may scratch the wok’s ceramic surface. Plastic or wooden utensils are recommended.
Avoid cutting food directly inside the wok to prevent damages to the surface.
After cooking, allow the wok to cool before cleaning. Drastic temperature changes can cause thermal shock and affect the ceramic coating.
Avoid pouring cool water into the wok when it is very hot to prevent cracking over time.
Do not allow the wok to boil dry.
If the ceramic surface exhibits a white film over time, it may be due to the buildup of food and oil residue or minerals in the water. Rub the wok surface with lemon juice or vinegar to remove the residue. Rinse thoroughly.

Congratulations on Your Purchase of The Green Earth Wok™ by Ozeri®

Utilizing natural ceramic as a coating, The Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is one of the world’s first frying woks to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals. PTFE stands for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene which is known to release toxic chemicals at high temperatures. PFOA stands for PerFluoro0ctanoic Acid which is known as a pollutant to the environment and has been under investigation by the EPA. With the Green Earth Wok ceramic coating, even under high temperatures, no harmful toxic fumes will ever be released into the environment.
Before using your pan for the first time, remove all tags, labels and packaging, and clean it with a soft cloth or sponge. When cooking, it is recommended that you first season your pan with a tiny amount of oil, based on the following recommendations:
- 12” + Wok = 1 teaspoon
- 14” + Wok = 1 ½ teaspoon
The goal is to create very thin film of oil. Rub the oil evenly into the surface of the wok and use a cloth or paper towel to wipe away excess oil, as the seasoning is only needed at the microscopic level. Peanut oil is highly recommended, but butter and other natural oils such as coconut oil can also be used. Nonstick sprays are not recommended as they may contain additives and tend to release too much oil. Do not forget to rub away the excess oil. Excess seasoning can cause oil residue to build up which causes food to stick. When cooking, use a lower heat source than what you are used to. This is because the Green Earth Wok is a better conductor of heat than traditional woks, and causes food to cook faster. Using a high heat source or excess preheating with the Green Earth Wok can cause the food to burn. Use a heat source that is suited for the size of the wok, taking care not to allow flames to burn along the sides of the wok. Prolonged use under high heat conditions and the resulting carbonization of food and oils can accelerate the gradual decline of the wok’s non-stick properties. If food sticks during cooking, adding a small amount of water to the affected area may reduce the sticking as the water expands to steam. This wok is oven safe to 180˚C or 356˚F. While your wok’s handle is oven-safe, always use oven gloves.
Be careful not to use sharp utensils as these may scratch the wok’s ceramic surface and alter cooking performance. Plastic or wooden utensils are recommended. To prevent damages to the woks surface, do not cut food directly inside the wok. After cooking, allow the wok to cool before cleaning. A drastic temperature change can cause thermal shock and affect the wok’s ceramic coating. Avoid pouring cool water into the wok when it is very hot, as this can cause cracking over time.
Do not allow the wok to boil dry.
It is recommended that you wash the Green Earth Wok using hot soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. A dishwasher can be used but due to water hardness in some regions and aggressive alkaline detergents, hand washing is preferred. Green products such as biodegradable soap will prolong the life of the wok, as detergents can be harsh and contain perfumes, dyes and other additives. For excessive deposits that are difficult to clean, fill the wok with water and cook to a boil. Then allow the water to cool. This will help loosen the carbonized deposits for a thorough cleaning.
Please note, if over time the ceramic surface exhibits a white film, this may be due to the buildup of food and oil residue, or possibly minerals in the water. Rub the wok surface with lemon juice or vinegar to remove the residue. Always rinse thoroughly.
When cooking with an induction cooker, temperatures can rise fast. Avoid cooking with an empty wok and be careful not to overheat, as this can cause damage to the wok and induction cooker. Take care to avoid any shifting or sliding of the wok when used with an induction cooker. When storing the wok, place the included wok protector on the wok’s surface before stacking other woks on top of it, taking care to ensure that no contact is made with the wok’s ceramic coating.

WARNING: The Green Earth Wok conducts energy efficiently and will heat up quickly. Use caution and always assume the side helper handle and pan are hot. The main handle itself can become hot if exposed to high heat. Oven gloves are always recommended.

Please retain this instruction guide for future use.
