Accepted Answer

Yes, to get years of use from your wok, you need to look after it. This needn’t be difficult or intimidating. Here’s the quick start guide.

1. Wash - Scrub the wok well using a steel scrubbing pad with hot, soapy water.
2. High Heat - Move and turn under high heat, until it change to light yellow-bluish colour
3. Oil - Let the wok cool down. Add 2 tbs of peanut oil or oil that is best for high heat.
4. Low Heat - Rub the inner surface with paper towel and under a low heat for 10-15 minutes.
5. Repeat - Until the paper towel become clean (about 3 times).Your wok is now ready to use.
6. After Use - Wash it in hot water only. Do not use detergent or a scrubber.

The tips are easy, with a little TLC, this wok will become naturally non-stick over time and will help you to cook delicious, healthy food for years to come.

Question 2

What is the thickness?

Accepted Answer

Hello there, our Mammafong wok is made of 16 gauge carbon steel which means the thickness is vary from 1.3mm-1.5mm. I know this may sounds confusing. As our wok is handcrafted and specially designed to have a thick base and thin wall, you may find the base is thicker (1.5mm) than the edge of wok (1.3mm). This help to make the wok lighter as well as improve heat distribution. I hope that's answer your question. Daphne - The Mammafong Family

Question 3

Where can I get a good lid for this wok?

Accepted Answer

I am using my existing doom shaped stainless steel wok lid that works very well. Do remember where I got it from.

Question 4

what is the bottom diameter?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what you are asking, it is 12" in diameter and 4" deep.  It has a rounded bottom with just a small area touching a surface.  You would need a wok stand to place it on your range burner.  Hope this helps.
