Preparation - Ken Hom carbon steel woks are covered with a clear protective film that must be removed before use.
To remove this protection, hold the wok under the hot water tap for 5 minutes to loosen the film, then use a scrubbing sponge with plenty of dishwashing liquid and scrub gently for 3 to 4 minutes until the protective film is completely removed.

IMPORTANT: If used on an induction hob, repeat this process on the exterior base of the wok, smooth area only (area ln direct contact with the hob)
. If not removed, the lacquer will melt onto your induction hab. Please ensure that both inside and outside and thoroughly washed and dried before seasoning your wok. C

Create a 100% natural non-stick coating (seasonlng)
- Rub the entire inner surface of the bowl with cooking oil (do not use olive oil or similar). Gently heat the wok until the oil starts to smoke. Remove from the heat and leave to cool1 then wipe off excess oil with absorbent kitchen paper. Repeat the en tire process two or three limes to ensure proper seasoning.
At this stage, the centre of your wok may darken in colour (normally brown or black). Your wok will continue to darken with use.

Should your wok start to rust, this is not a problem, just scour the wok and repeat the seasoning instructions.
