Usage and Care Instructions

Before First Use
Remove all packaging and labels and wash the wok in hot soapy water using a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Using The Wok The wok cannot be used on induction hobs, however it is suitable for all other cooker types. We recommend that you also refer to your hob manufacturer’s usage instructions. Not suitable for use in conventional or microwave ovens. Should the handle become loose during use, please retighten immediately. Always match the base size of the wok to the heat zone it is to be used on. Add the oil to the wok then heat carefully until small “ripples” appear on the surface of the oil. Do not let the oil become smoking hot. If this should occur let the wok cool down before proceeding.

Olive oil, including extra virgin, is not recommended for stir-fry cooking as it has a low smoking point. It can easily burn which may damage the wok. During cooking, if the ingredients start to become dry or stick together, add one or two tablespoons of hot water and continue stir-frying; do not add more oil as this may make the finished recipe too oily. If used on a glass-topped hob always lift the wok on, off or across the surface. Never slide the wok as this may cause damage to the wok base as well as to the glass. Take care not to let the wok overbalance during use and never leave the wok unattended during cooking.

Heat Settings and Cooking Utensils
Take care not to overheat the wok; it should never be used on a maximum or too high a heat setting as excessive surface temperatures will damage the non-stick coating. Keep gas flames confined to the base area; they should not extend up around the outside of the wok as this could cause overheating and lead to damage. Take care not to place the
handle over direct heat or a naked flame. Never use knives or metal utensils with sharp edges on the non-stick surface.
