YETI™ Carbon Steel Wok

Your Carbon Steel Wok comes pre-seasoned for non-toxic, natural non-stick performance, and
will become even more nonstick over time as you cook with oils and fats. For the best results,
preheat your wok before adding any food. Place it over medium heat on your stove for a few
minutes, and test its readiness with water droplets. If they dance and instantly evaporate, you’re
good to start cooking with a drizzle of oil.

Preheat it gradually, using medium heat to slowly warm the wok (see point on water droplets
above). We encourage cooking with high-smoke-point oils like canola and avocado, but always
be careful to watch for burning. Try not to leave food in the wok for extended periods of time,
and remember that acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits, and vinegar-based sauces will
remove the pre-seasoned layer and could potentially affect its non stick performance. But don’t
worry, the oil or fat from your next meal will restore its non-stick in no time.

Your wok is up for any challenge, but keep in mind that acidic foods like tomatoes, wine, and
balsamic vinegar should be avoided as they can remove the wok’s pre-seasoning layer and
could potentially affect its non-stick performance. Rest easy, though: You can always restore
your wok’s seasoning through repeated uses with sufficient oil each time.

We recommend washing it by hand using dish soap. If some of your wok’s seasoning strips in
the process, don’t worry. The oil or fat from your next meal will help re-season it. Just make sure
you don’t put your Carbon Steel Wok in the dishwasher.

Yes, you can use dish soap to wash it. Some of your wok’s seasoning might strip in the
process, but that’s okay because the oil or fat from your next meal will help re-season it.

No, it is meant to be hand-washed only.
