Tip: dry and keep wok oiled at all times, especially after washing. Washing routine: Wash - Dry - Oil - Fire (where Dry means dry using paper or cloth towels) What is Craft Wok? Review: School Of Wok - Keep Your Wok's Hot! - Solid, deep and heavy carbon steel wok for healthier cooking. Non-Teflon. Commercial grade. Extremely durable. Easy to clean. Made with passion. To season the wok to create a natural non-stick surface, heat it on high until it changes color, then let it cool slightly before applying a thin layer of high smoke point oil. Return it to high heat until the oil smokes, which completes the seasoning process. Review: Great quality wok - I especially wanted a quality wok with round bottom as I have a cheaper one with a flat bottom, but I now have a gas wok burner and a round one would be useless on my induction hob. It took Maybe an hour to prepare it. The protective oil washed off easily with hot soapy water. There were a couple of small bits of rust where the coating must have been missing so I just rubbed them off with wet & dry before heating to around 450c all round to get a nice blue sheen. It’s worth taking the handle off first as mine started to smoke when I got too close to the wood! After that 3 iterations of rapeseed oil wiped thinly all over and then heated for 5 mins before finishing with a frying of onion and ginger. It’s now a beautiful blue/ black colour all over and totally non stick. It heats evenly and has a quality feel about it. It is quite heavy but quality pans are. Totally recommend. ## Features - Round Bottom Heavy 14 Inch 1.8mm carbon steel wok, commercial grade. Original design by Craft Wok since 2014, proven quality over the years.

Coat the surface with oil. Heat until the oil is smoking hot, keep the heat on for a few minutes. Turn off heat , allow wok to cool naturally. Repeat process. Best wok we have ever had, indestructible . A little heavy. Wash out with v hot water after use. Never any soap. If any scouring is needed we use coarse salt. oil lightly. Good luck Nick **Q: is this really heavy please?** A: Lift something that weighs 2.1kg/4.5lb, is that really heavy for you? **Q: Has anyone used Frylight with this wok? If yes, was it ok or did it leave a film on the wok? Thanks.** A: As with all oils there will be a film. This wok has to be seasoned with very hot oil to create a film or coating. Without a coating it will rust over within hours. We use very little oil or Frylight ,cook at high temperature, with food cut small, regular small dashes of water prohibit sticking and create steam which retains moisture and speeds cooking. This wok is the best we have ever had. Only minus it is heavier than most. Kind Regards Nick **Q: Does anyone know if there are English instructions as the ones that came with the wok are in German and French?** A: Hi, English instructions are on the back side of color wrap. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ School Of Wok - Keep Your Wok's Hot! *by T***T on 7 September 2025* Solid, deep and heavy carbon steel wok for healthier cooking.
