Setup
Before first use, wash the wok thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. It is recommended to lightly season the nonstick surface by wiping a small amount of cooking oil over the interior with a paper towel, then heating it over low heat for a few minutes. Allow to cool and wipe off any excess oil.
Operating Instructions
- Heat Management: The wok is designed for quick and even heating. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not required due to the efficient heat distribution of the pressure-cast aluminum.
- Nonstick Performance: The ceramic-titanium nonstick surface allows for cooking with little or no oil. For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, use a small amount of oil or butter.
- Utensils: While the nonstick coating is durable, it is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching and maintain the integrity of the surface.
- Oven Safety: The wok is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C), allowing for seamless transition from stovetop to oven for finishing dishes.

Maintenance and Cleaning
- Cool Down: Always allow the wok to cool completely before cleaning to prevent warping.
- Hand Washing: For optimal care, hand wash the wok with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The nonstick surface makes cleaning effortless.
- Dishwasher Safe: The wok is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the nonstick coating and overall appearance over time.
- Storage: Store the wok carefully to avoid scratching the nonstick surface. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between items.
