Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the wok is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick coating.

Exterior discoloration

This can sometimes occur with high heat. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for cookware exteriors.

Difficulty lifting or moving

Ensure you are using both side handles for stability, especially when the wok is full of hot food. Wipe handles dry before gripping.

Wok seems to have lost its non-stick properties
