A well-seasoned wok has a naturally “nonstick” surface, which allows you to cook with less oil while preventing foods from sticking to the pan. Seasoned woks have been coated with oil and heated to a high temperature—allowing the oil to deeply penetrate the metal of the pan. Most woks are sold without any seasoning, so you need to season your wok before use, following the manufacturer’s instructions or the traditional method featured on the next slide.
