After seasoning, your iron wok is ready for use and offers you a durable, non-stick surface that gets better with each use.

How do I care for my Waidler wok?

Proper care of your hand-forged iron skillet is crucial to maintaining its longevity and cooking performance. Here are a few simple steps:

Cleaning after each use
After cooking, let the wok cool down and then clean it with warm water and a soft sponge or brush. Avoid dish soap, as it can damage the patina. For stubborn residue, you can add some coarse salt to the wok and rub it in with a cloth to gently clean the surface.

Thorough drying
Dry the wok thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent rust.

Oiling
After each cleaning, apply a thin layer of heat-resistant vegetable oil (such as rapeseed or linseed oil) to the entire surface of the wok. This protects the wok from rust and promotes the development of a patina.

storage
Store the wok in a dry place, ideally hanging or with a cloth between them when stacked to avoid scratches.

Regular burning in
If you notice the non-stick properties diminishing or the wok looks dry after extended storage, you can re-season it. To do this, lightly rub the wok with oil and heat it until the oil begins to smoke to renew the protective coating.

With this care, your hand-forged wok will stay in top shape for years and will get even better with each use thanks to the patina that develops.

How does the Waidler pan differ from a coated pan

Iron pans are uncoated and develop a natural patina with use, providing a long-lasting, non-stick surface, while coated pans have a man-made non-stick coating that can wear off over time.

ℹ The Kindermann Promise

Better with every use – your wok that grows/gets better with you.

After seasoning your Kindermann products, a natural protective layer of burnt-on grease, also known as a patina, gradually forms. This layer continues to develop over time, imparting a distinctive flavor to the prepared food and also acting as a natural non-stick coating.
