Customer Review: A different way to season
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a simpler way to season this wok. First really scrub it clean when you first get it, lots of hot water, soap, scouring powder and elbow grease, wash it thoroughly inside and out, rinse really well under running water, then repeat, we want this clean! Finish by drying with a towel, place the wok on a medium burner for maybe two or three minutes, take two tablespoons of unflavored vegetable shortening, place in wok and wipe in well with a clean wadded paper towel, wipe the inside repeatedly, lift the wok up and carefully,(don't burn yourself) wipe the outside as well. Let the wok cool down, wipe off excess shortening and then repeat the entire process. This is all it needs! You can now fry an egg with only a tiny amount of oil in the bottom ,it won't stick. To clean use a stiff vegetable brush scrub under running hot water and dry back over a hot burner for a minute or two. The last wok I seasoned and cleaned this way I used for over 25 years., Yes they turn black, yes they become more nonstick with age, for a ... item to last a generation is awesome, have fun.
Description of Joyce Chen Pro Chef 14-Inch Unseasoned Carbon Steel Wok
Part of the Carbon Steel Wok Series by Joyce Chen, the 14" Flat Bottom Wok is a heavy weight at 1.8 mm of carbon steel. It is made for use on gas or electric burners and the pan's heavy weight carbon steel body is designed for rapid, even heating and cooling ¿ a must for any stir-fry. Its generous size will enable you to make delicious Asian meals for your entire family. Once seasoned, these heavy weight carbon steel pans will render superior cooking performance for life. This pan is perfect for creating such authentic Asian-style recipes as curried shrimp with lemon rice and Szechwan beef stir-fry. This pan features Blonde wood grip and helper handles. The flat bottom sits securely on stove tops and two handles make it easy to use. These wood handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, so you can easily remove the pan from the burner without using potholders. Joyce Chen's slogan "Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen," reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you. Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards¿ so she developed her own.Stir-fry fanatics, step right up! With its stout material and flat bottom, Joyce Chen's 14-inch carbon steel wok is compatible with electric or gas stoves and doesn't require a wok ring. The reinforced blond wood handle, while not traditional on woks, stays cool for better control during cooking and serving and has a stout ring for hanging. The wide comfortable helper handle allows you to pick up the wok with both hands for easier balance. Large enough for a heap of bok choy, this deep pan helps keep oil splatters inside the wok--even at the high heats preferred by wok users. Not intended for the dishwasher, this wok delivers the best results with attentive seasoning and care. Care instructions are included. --Emily Bedard
