Rinse the wok thoroughly under running water. 2. Scrub the surface using a metal scrubber or steel wool until the factory coating is entirely removed. 3. Wash the wok again under running water. 4. Dry both the interior and exterior completely with a towel. 5. Boil water in the wok (almost filling it) and then remove the water, drying it once more. 6. Place the wok on high heat and wipe the inside with canola oil. 7. Repeat this process until the wok develops a good patina or turns black. For optimal maintenance: 1. Avoid using steel wire balls to clean the wok after seasoning. 2. Use a soft sponge or wok brush with detergent if there is oil residue after cooking. 3. During the initial stages of use, add extra oil before cooking to stabilize the protective layer. 4. In the first week, refrain from cooking soup, starchy, or acidic foods. 5. After each use, dry the wok, apply some oil to the walls, and heat it for a minute. Continue this practice for one week to enhance the wok's quality. 6. Store the wok in a dry place to prevent rusting. This wok pan is an essential tool for any kitchen, offering versatility and reliability in every dish you prepare.
