If you do not have access to a gas stove, we recommend this method of how to season a wok over the oven method for seasoning a new wok - and you really MUST use a stovetop method of seasoning a wok if you have a wok with wooden or plastic handles which you can't remove - you can be seasoning a wok in the oven if the handles on it will melt or burn If you have access to or if you are fortunate enough to have a gas stove which you will use for your wok cooking, then use the salt method for seasoning a wok. It is in our experience the BEST method by far for seasoning a wok to perfection.
The instructions here are for seasoning new steel or iron woks or re-seasoning steel or iron woks that have rusted or been disused for a long time. You can also clean and re-season a wok at any time, if it needs it. If you have a non-stick or electric wok, then DO NOT use these methods!
