VARDAGEN

Before use

IKEA carbon steel woks have been treated during production with a thin layer of cooking oil to avoid corrosion during transport. Before first use, clean the wok with warm water. Wash it by hand and dry thoroughly. Then the wok should be seasoned. Good maintenance reduces the risk of food sticking to the wok, reduces the risk of rust and extends the life of the wok.

Care instruction

The wok must be seasoned before first use. Rub all surfaces evenly with a small amount of oil and then heat the wok on low heat. When the oil is hot enough to penetrate the entire wok, turn off the heat. Allow the wok to cool and then wipe off excess oil. This treatment should be repeated three times. Finish the seasoning process by cleaning the wok ­ wipe it dry and rub in a thin layer of cooking oil. After seasoning the wok according to the instructions above, it only needs to be treated from time to time. In the event of rust or food stains, or if food burns sticks, the wok can be cleaned with steel wool or an abrasive sponge and then seasoned again.

Good to know

Always lift the wok when moving it on a glass or ceramic hob. To avoid the risk of scratching, do not pull it across the hob. Do not expose the wok to great and sudden temperature changes, e.g. by pouring cold water into the hot wok, the bottom of the wok might deform.

Cleaning

Hand wash only. The wok should be cleaned with warm, clean water. It is important to wipe the wok dry immediately after washing it and oil it regularly.

Important

This wok is provided with a glass lid. There is a handle on the lid. If the handle feels loose, tighten the screws with a screwdriver. Do not screw on too tightly, because then the glass may break.

If the handle feels loose, tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
