How to use

Before the first use, ensure the pan is cleaned and properly seasoned if necessary. Place the wok on a burner that matches its base size for optimal heat distribution.

Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the surface seasoning.

What to consider before purchase
