hi! I need help! I jsut bought my wok similar to yours and I keep getting this black stuff from the wok itself everytime I cook. Its in my food and I end up throwing it away. How can I prevent this and how do I go about seasoning this type of wok? Please let me know!! Since, my wok has been unused! I really want to start cooking with it!

@pyang264 - Sorry you are having this problem. I recommend you watch my seasoning a wok video and be patient as you "burn" the surface of the wok. Depending on whether you have a gas or electric range the process could take maybe half an hour. Rotate the wok until all areas turn white hot and you will see the steel change colors. When the wok cools, place 2 tbsp of fresh oil in wok and scrub with a stainless steel scrubber, then rinse with hot water, dry with a paper towel, lightly oil surface

@pyang264 - I took one more message to remind you that I believe that anything that is on the surface of a carbon steel wok can be burned off. I used these for many years in various restaurants and they were only discarded when the intense heat warped them to the point where they could not be "hammered" out. Also to remove stuck on food we used a wok brush with a stainless scrubber on the bottom, very effective when combined with hot water. Hope these tips help you! Jui

Good presentation and technique, but totally unsafe wok. never use a round bottom wok on a flat electric surface without a ring.

@radbcc - if I am stir frying, I use my left hand to hold the handle on the wok to steady it. I can never get enough heat using a wok ring as the bottom does not make contact. For those who don't mind the trade-off, or for those who are concerned that it is safer to use a wok ring by all means use one. I would only use one for deep frying if using a lot of oil. Thanks for watching and for the comments

is this a cast iron wok and where can this wok be purchased? Thanks

This is a 14" carbon steel wok, and sorry to say I am no longer in the wok selling business, but when I was the price was around $20.00

I really love all you videos, i have been looking for some like these for awhile now. I was wondering if you knew how to make rou jia mo, which is a street food in china. I have not been able to find any recipes anywhere. Thank You!

I try to focus on the cooking, but if you want, I am in the video for juis' 60th B-day celebration wearing a red shirt for good luck! As for the wok you can use it for deep frying, braising and steaming. I may post my recipe for braised Korean short ribs in the future, they are very tasty. Thanks for the nice comments and for watching!
