    My wok is passed down generations. It's black now. Was told it wasn't this colour at first. It was more greyish i was told. Now? It's just shiny, glossy black.
    I didn't disappoint my grandma.

    1. Remove protective layer with hot water, soap and wire mesh scourer (in and outside), and wipe it dry,
    2. Turn stove to high and move all sides of the wok over flame. The wok will change colour. Can take 20-30 minutes. Allow it to cool.
    3. Oil the wok. Turn stove to medium-high and pour some (canola) oil in wok. Spread over entire surface with paper towel.
    4. Add some slices of ginger and green onion and some extra oil. Wok for about 10 minutes, then turn off stove, and remove food.
    5. Wipe down with paper towels, then allow to cool, and give it a quick rinse (with soft sponge and no soap), and wipe dry.
    6. Turn on stove to medium heat and dry wok on it (about 2 minutes).
    7. Then rub thin layer of oil over surface of wok with paper towel (it can start smoking), this will prevent rusting. Do this every time you use the (new) wok. Over time it will develop a patina and become almost non-stick.

      When I heated the wok on my stove, the color didn’t change, even though it was on it for 2-3 hours. What should I do if the color does not change at all? I've tried it on a gas stove, but it didn't change color.

    Good video! Thanks!
    A carbon steel pan works almost the same as a wok. The wok is better for stir-fried and works better with a gas stovetop. The pan is better suited to a flat electric stovetop. The wok is heavier than a pan. Assuming we are using both carbon steel wok and pan, they seasoned with the same procedure.

    Absolutely right. Did you hear her say, “Over time…”, this is key. There is no instant seasoning. This is the best video on the subject, but you have to cook to get that patina the everyone confuses with seasoning. My advice: after doing what she said, caramelize a whole bag of onions. When you’re done, you’ll have a patina AND a supply of sweet, dark golden onions for the freezer.

    The best I have seen about seasoning carbon steel stuff (mine are lyonnaise 12 inch and 8 inch skillets). No BS and 'natural'. I added some proverbial potato skin to the ginger and scallion as I had tons lying around from previous seasoning attempts.

    My wife picked up a wok recently, but it is Teflon coated, so I will be shopping for another, more traditional one. I have been enjoying learning the basics of stir fries and Asian cooking/seasoning principles.
    So far everything has come out great. My first attempts may not be quite as authentic as they could be, but they still turned out delicious.
    I like the fact that with a few basic ingredients and skills one can cook some very tasty meals quickly and easily.

    I used to have a well seasoned round bottom hand hammered wok but then ended up with an electric stove and even with a ring it didn’t work out that well.I ended up giving it away so i recently bought a Helen Chen flat bottomed wok and seasoned it the old fashioned way ,after cleaning with a scouring pad I coated it with oil baked it at 400 for 20 minutes when it cooled put the handle on it cooked some onions in it and then used it ,the only way to properly season it is to use it. Long way to get to a simple answer.

    What brand of 14" Wok would you recommend for someone who is a very good cook, frequently cooks with cast iron for 4 adults rather complex meals that are a process of building flavor profiles? I always believe when I enter a kitchen no matter what I put on a table it should be something that comes from my heart and is an expression of telling my family I love them. I am just now entering into the world of Wok cooking after realizing how much I have been limiting our experiences.
