Review: Good wok after coating removed and seasoned properly - Good wok for Asian cursine after coating removed and seasoned. Speedy delivery with clear instruction on how to remove coating and season the wok. It was suggested to be used on gas hob as carbon steel wok need a very high temperature to be well-heated. We are installed with electric hob but we go for it anyways. End up it was tricky for us to remove the coating with an electric hob as the heat is not hot enough to fully-heat the whole wok. We heated the wok for an hour on our electric hob, but only removed the coating at the bottom as the heat cannot spread well on the whole wok. We removed the remaining coating by scrubing it hard with a stainless steel sourcer, which did take quite a while and some work. But I guess definitely no problem for you if you are using gas hob. To prevent rusting quickily, all coating must be fully removed properly before use and seasoning is required from time to time. Carbon steel woks needed to be washed, dried and lightly oil right away after each used, otherwise could rust quickily as well. It does worth all the work if you do love Asian cursine as other subsitute wont bring you the same unique taste.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what metal is this wok made of?**
A: As of April 28th, 2020 - it doesn't say carbon steel anymore - clearly states Material: stainless steel

**Q: What's the thickness (gauge) of the carbon steel used? Thanks**
A: I do not know, however it is not thin and flimsy!

**Q: Considering the 12" flat bottom option, what is the diameter of the flat bottom?**
A: Flat area on bttm. is 5-1/4 inches.

**Q: What is the best and easiest way to get off the anti rust coating, Scrubing or burning or both?**
A: I did not buy a flat bottom wok, hopefully the following helps. I am not sure what is meant by anti-rust coating other than the treatment that I and others perform after cooking to stop rust. After procuring the wok I cleaned it and then complied with instructions (stir fried some garlic). After each cooking event , i thoroughly clean the wok, using a nylon scourer (lightly) and then apply a thin coat of cooking oil. I then wipe this cooking oil over the entire inner surface of the wok using a kitchen roll to absorb excess oil. The inner surface of my wok is now partially black.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Once I figured out how to properly season it, the thing is magic, my favorite pot/pan to use
*by J***E on 14 June 2014*

Properly seasoned this wok is very none stick. I am still learning about Chinese cooking but have been having long sought after successes lately, after many years of trying! I have learned a few things as well. For example, I discovered that if I put corn starch on the chicken before I stir fry, it ends up sticking to the wok eventually despite the beautiful seasoning I think I did, but if I do not use corn starch, the chicken does not stick AT ALL. I just rub it clean and rinse it will a little soap especially around the top edges, to get it clean. Then I always put it back on the stove for a couple minutes to make sure all the water is complete gone to prevent rusting. And if part of the coating seems to come off, I just put some oil in there and cook it "real good" until it's repaired. I love that you can make your stove as HOT as you like and I think I like that it cools down quite quickly when you take it off the heat. One issue I have with my stove is it doesn't stay balanced easily. My stove is bad in that way though.
