The John Lewis Carbon Steel Wok makes stir frying a breeze. Featuring 1.5mm-thick steel, this uncoated wok is the perfect tool for making a quick and healthy meal. It includes a stylish wooden handle and colour sleeve. Seasoning your wok 1. Heat your wok over a high heat holding the handle, turning and tilting it up to the rim and back, until the metal turns a dark grey/blue colour all round. 2. Remove the wok from the heat and allow it to cool down. 3. Dip a thick pad of kitchen towel into 1 ½ tsp of vegetable oil. 4. Spread the oil so the whole inside surface of the wok is covered in a thin film of oil. You should wear protective gloves and spread the oiled kitchen towel with a heat-proof basting brush, kitchen tongs or chopsticks as the hot oil will soak through the paper. 5. Return the wok to a medium - low heat for about ten minutes until it starts to smoke. 6. Once all the smoke disappears and the wok is dark grey/black in colour it is ready to use.
