Now you start the seasoning process. It involves no oil, so you don't have to worry about an accidental fire (which can happen when you are seasoning a wok using the electric burner stove top method). However, you are heating the wok to a very high temperature and you will have a quantity of VERY hot salt in the wok. EXERCISE CAUTION. The salt doesn't show it, but it is extremely hot when you use this way of how to season a wok. The result will be 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!
