Gibson HomeHammered 13 Inch Heavy Gauge Carbon Steel Wok in Black

I have read previous reviews about woks and how they stick and rust. The 1st thing you MUST do is season your wok. You cannot skip this step or it will do all the things people who give it 1 star claim. I purchased this exact wok at a grocery store, seasoned it and it is perfect. I love this wok. Do not be afraid of purchasing this wok but do not forget to SEASON YOUR WOK. How to season steps are below. Also YouTube has many videos on how to SEASON YOUR WOK. Enjoy!Wash the wok with dish soap and steel wool to remove any factory coating.Rub a thin layer of oil, such as canola, vegetable, or avocado oil, over the entire wok's exposed metal surfaces with kitchen paper or a clean paper towel.Place the wok over medium-high heat and bring it to a smoking point.Let the wok smoke, opening windows and turning on an extractor fan.Once the wok stops smoking, the inside should have a matte texture instead of being glossy, indicating that it's seasoned.Repeat the process a couple of times.

Food sticks like crazy, so it needs to soak to get the food off before you hand wash it. Rust everywhere after the second use; cannot use it anymore.
