How to use

Before first use, wash the wok in hot water without detergent, dry thoroughly and perform initial seasoning according to the manufacturer’s guidance: heat the pan, apply a thin layer of neutral oil and allow it to polymerize to begin forming the protective patina. Preheat the wok on medium-high heat before adding oil and ingredients to ensure even searing. Use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant utensils to avoid damaging the developing surface. After cooking, clean with hot water and a soft brush or sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged soaking. Reapply a thin layer of oil after drying to maintain the seasoning.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, maintain the Mineral B patina by seasoning regularly, avoid acidic foods in large quantities until the patina is well established, and store in a dry place. If rust appears, remove it with fine abrasive, dry thoroughly and re-season immediately.
