Care & Maintenance

1. Initial Seasoning: Wash off the protective factory oil coating with hot water and mild detergent. Scrub thoroughly, dry immediately, and heat over high flame until the metal turns blue-black. Apply a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil (like canola or peanut) and let it smoke off.

2. Daily Cleaning: Hand-wipe or scrub gently with warm water and a non-abrasive wok brush. Avoid dishwashers and harsh detergents.

3. Rust Prevention: Dry completely over low heat after every wash and coat with a light sheen of cooking oil before storing.
