If you have a new wok and it has one or two wooden or bamboo helper handles, you need to season these types of woks with a specific a method in order to preserve the wood or bamboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The handles have to be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. removed, if seasoning in an oven;<\/strong><\/li>
  2. covered with wet towels and foil, if they cannot be removed; or<\/strong><\/li>
  3. left uncovered, if seasoning on top of the stove or on a wok burner.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Both wooden or bamboo handles must be protected during the seasoning process in order to preserve the color and composition of the handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Several years ago I seasoned one of my woks in my oven and did not protect the wooden handles. You can see the results below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
