Seasoning is a necessary step in using cast iron cookware. Oil is baked into the pores of the iron at the foundry to prevent rusting and to eventually provide a natural non-stick cooking surface. After cooking clean wok with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended and harsh detergents should never be used. Avoid putting hot cast iron into cold water. Thermal shock can occur causing the metal to warp or crack. If you are having trouble removing stuck-on food boil some water in your wok for a few minutes to loosen residue making it easier to remove. Towel dry immediately and apply a light coating of oil to the wok while it is still warm. Store in a cool dry place.
