Welcome to your guide to Karbon Steel seasoning! This collection includes a wok, paella pan, two half-moon pans, Classic Joe® griddle, and Big Joe® griddle. Follow along in this guide or in your owner's manual to learn how-to season your pans!
Regular seasoning of your Karbon Steel product provides optimal results. The more you use and season your product, the more non-stick it will become.
How-To Season your Wok
- Oil your wok. Using a paper towel or kitchen towel, apply a very thin layer of oil with a high smoke point 400˚F - 475˚F (204˚C - 246˚C) to the wok's entire surface. Oils such as canola oil, sunflower, vegetable, flaxseed, grapeseed, or soybean provide the best result. We do not recommend using avocado, coconut, or olive oil.
- Bake the wok for one hour at 400˚F (204˚C). It is best to place the wok upside down in your grill or oven, so the oil does not pool. Let the wok cool completely before removing it from your grill or oven.
- Once the wok has completely cooled, remove it from your grill or oven and wipe away any excess oil or residue.
Tip: Wok should not be sticky to the touch. If sticky, simply heat and cool your wok until the desired coating texture is achieved.
Karbon Steel cookware will take on a variety of colors and patterns as you begin to season and cook with your wok. The change in color and appearance is completely normal. The darker the wok becomes, the better its non-stick properties.
