This 27cm Cuisena Stir Fry Wok is a versatile cooking pan, most often used for stir frying – but also for home-smoking, deep frying & steaming. Made from carbon steel, this wok heats quickly & evenly, using minimal power. Suitable for both electric & gas cookers. To season the pan, wipe the inside surface with cooking oil. Pour 5mm of oil into the pan, bring to a high temperature, & then when a smoky-haze appears remove it from the heat & wipe well with kitchen towel. This burns off any remaining coating. Now the pan is ready to use. Always ensure there is enough oil in the pan when using, & wipe with a paper towel after use. If the pan needs washing, ensure it is completely dried & lightly-oiled before storing. Remember, carbon steel will discolour & go black with regular use & in no way detracts from the functionality of the pan.
