  • How to season on an induction cooker (3500 W), a new carbon steel Wok (36 cm / 14").
    1. Burn the coating layer: Heat strongly.
    2. (optional) Season using Flaxseed oil: Thin layer, heat slowly, cool down, repeat.
    Woks: www.google.com...
    Induction cooker: www.google.com... , or order the one I'm using:
    -- Amazon FR: amzn.to/2sgXGM5
    -- Amazon UK: amzn.to/2sgW5Gc
    IMPORTANT: I noticed on my second wok that it left some hard to remove traces on my induction glass. So you should put a protection below the wok to avoid that when initialially seasoning it.

      dude your instructions for seasoning a wok is just wrong. plain wrong. YOU NEED TO WASH and scrub that coating layer off before you burn the wok bro. FML. You need to wash the bloody wok because of the chemical coating they use on the steel to stop it rusting. Burning it wont get rid of it. secondly you seasoned the bottom of the wok but not the sides lols wtf lols. YOu need to season the entire wok, you are clueless.

    Hands down the best prep video for your "New" wok.
    I just received my new wok and had it on my gas stove on the highest burner for almost an hour with no luck burning off the coating.
    I can't afford an induction burner so I'm going to have to resort to politely asking a local Chinese chef to fire this thing up, lol. Thanks for sharing brother....
    Happy Wok'ing 👍

    Very informative video. You should mention however that if you are in the United States, you will be limited to 120v*15A=1800W, unless you can plug into a 20A circuit, which is less common in homes.

    Works perfectly with my new cantonese heavy grade two handled Wok. Your tutorial was very informative so thanks very much :) Am shocked how quickly and how searingly hot the wok gets with my new induction hob. Pretty much equivalent to a back of the restaurant flame thrower. The hob itself has a fan inside and stays cool.

    • @439530
      @439530 3 года назад +1

      An interesting comparison however a commercial gas burner will power through moisture and therefore have a better quality product, however you can get a good product if you cook in small quantities on this induction burner.

    • @tylersmith3139
      @tylersmith3139 4 месяца назад

      ​@@439530how so? Induction technology directly heats the metal which is a much better than transferring heat from fire to the wok. Commercial burners in the West also don't get near as hot as Eastern Burners for wok cooking get so induction replicates that cooking much better which is why you see these induction burners used by East Asian chefs in restaurants over there.

    Flax oil is unfortunately a bad choice because it becomes very brittle and will flake off, grapeseed or i think peanut oil will last mucb longer without chipping and flaking off into your food.

    i see several downsides already.
    1. dead spot in the middle that means food sticking.
    2. that concaved induction part is already looking scratsched due to bad glass or even a type of plastic.
    3. needs to match the size of your wok perfectly.

      There isn't a dead spot in the middle, that's how seasoning a wok always looks.
      2. I didn't see any scratches, it just wasn't wiped down and the induction burner works fine here.
      You don't need to match the size perfectly, only the centre needs to fit. Wok cooking focuses on the centre getting hot.
      You're looking for problems where there are none.

      @pino_de_vogel 4 месяца назад

      @@tylersmith3139 4:10 you can see a dead spot from the indution. meaning it does not cover the bottomof the wok which will make it sticky there. its the heat that makes it non stick after all.

      I have watched several utube videos that say the factory coating is best scrubbed off first with soap and water. Never a need to use soap afterwards and not advised or needed. I am new to wok cooking and am glad to see that you can use soap and water on occasion. This video was very informative for me because I have a new induction stove coming in January and need to season my carbon steel wok which is coming in January too. I am happy that he seasoned his wok using induction.

    They sell your Hendi induction plate stating it only works with the Hendi HE239773 wok pan. Obviously it also works with your pans. Have you used the Hendi Wokpan and does that pan works better or is there no difference?

    How do you find the induction wok hob for stir frying vegetables? I can't use gas indoors and my current ceramic hob doesn't get hot enough to stir fry so the water escapes the vegetables causing them to steam and go soggy very quickly. I'm wondering whether an induction wok hob might be the answer.

    • @439530
      @439530 3 года назад

      Preheat your wok to smoking hot first on this type of cooker. Otherwise you need a wok burner somewhere above 150k BTUs to sufficiently boil off any moisture and go straight to malliard.

    do you still use this induction stove? does it work well and would you recommend it in general?
    i'm looking at similar ones, at the moment i use a flat bottom carbon steel wok on induction which works OK but the heating is too uneven (there's pretty much only 2 zones, flat hot part and completely cool outer part) and the cooking process is too different from a regular wok.

      This only needs to be done once. But once each time you cook since the heat will eventually burn through the coating at least on a powerful wok burner.

    • @MidnightMarrow
      @MidnightMarrow 6 лет назад +1

      Sounds like you looked at the commercial version. Can use this thing inside or out. Don't have to refill it, no risk of explosion and it's much more powerful than gas simply because induction puts ALL of it's power into the pan itself and not half or more of it into the atmosphere around which is why most gas burners need to have such high BTU ratings, waste heat compensation. So while they do indeed still work and quite well to this day, induction is the least wasteful more powerful way to do it. Oh yeah and lets not forget that INSTANT heat from on / off or even just the on-the-fly temp change!
