Burning and Seasoning your Wok Step-by-Step Tutorial

Glad to see you back

Many thanks, Greg. Looking forward to more simple and clear cut instructions from you. Cheers.

Just got a carbon steel wok and researching on the best way to season it - came across this video - thank you so much for in-depth explanation and demonstration of how to do it - i’ve got a 50,000 BTU outdoor propane fired burner and plan to get this wok broken in quickly - thank you so much for in advance damage control and emphasizing not to get the metal red hot - AWESOME CONTENT 💪❤️

Best wishes to you and your loved ones Greg for the Christmas Holidays and New year. That’s how I seasoned my woks. Great demonstration and like the fact you mentioned the caution steps for users to be careful.

Greg, glad Spring is here as I’m planning lots of wokking. To anyone thinking about getting this wok burner, do not hesitate. After years of looking and complaining about not enough heat I came upon Greg’s site. I purchased the burner and cart since I already had everything else. Well I haven’t been happier. The heat is everything you need for a quick sear and a fast meal. One of the best things about the Wonder Wok burner is that is very fuel efficient. You will save money but be prepared to move quickly as things cook fast. It’s beautiful ! I highly recommend this burner, it’s fantastic. This is a great product and the cart is well built. Get it !

Now that is a name i have not seen a long while, welcome back.

Greg, good to have you back. Happy holidays my friend.

Thanks Greg for making another video. It's going to be a big WOKing year ahead here in Wenatchee, Washington, and the EZ Wok system is going to be a fun way to cook. Again thanks for a great product, love it so far. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

I learned a while back that cooking an onion for final finish is the best way to season carbon steel. Great job

Happy Holiday to you all🎄 & Thank You-🙏🏻

Thank you for this very well explained video. Have a great day.

What a nice tutorial from a nice soft spoken make. I really like videos

Planning to buy a wok for my birthday 🎂. Thank you for the tutorial 😊.

2 mins into the vid and I knew you were a beast! Immediately liked and subscribed

Thank you very much Greg for the infos.Take care!!!

I have 'seasoned' quite a few woks over the years. 'Seasoned', because I followed so-called tried and tested methods, and nothing has quite worked as I hoped. I bought a new 18-inch wok in Thailand, with a wok-burner very like yours, before we moved to Scotland. Now in Aberdeenshire, I fired up the burner and it was everything I expected. I seasoned my new wok exactly as you did and the method was quick, simple and completely successful! The factory shmoo burned off as yours did and the wok blued in the same way. After blackening the onion, I cooked four pounds of chicken breast that was at risk of going off because we had tilers working in the house and couldn't get to the fridge! In short, it turned out perfectly, especially as I'd cooked the chicken with a lot of sugary oyster sauce. There was no sticking to the wok and it cleaned perfectly, just with hot water. Best method ever!

amazing video! great job

Merry Christmas Greg! I love seeing your work! I noticed the burner bowl is painted black. That was the first thing I did when I got my EZ-Wok. I disassembled the burner and painted it black with some high heat paint.

Best video on the subject, thanks!

Because of your video...and a couple others, I just heat treated/seasoned my first large outdoor wok.
