The wok arrives with a protective beeswax coating to prevent oxidation during shipping. You will need to wash off this wax with hot water and perform an initial seasoning process before your first use to build the foundation for its non-stick surface.

Yes, the Mineral B Element Wok features a flat bottom specifically designed to maintain stability and ensure efficient heat transfer on induction surfaces, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.

Avoid the dishwasher entirely. After cooking, simply deglaze the pan with hot water to remove food residue, rinse, dry thoroughly on the stovetop to prevent rust, and wipe the surface with a very thin layer of oil before storing.
