How well seasoned is your wok and what's the distinction between well seasoned and just plain filthy?

That looks like something from a Mars probe circa 1965

BTW we use a Le Cruseut wok

I have an asian wife and she insists the wok is cleaned after every use.

So what's the difference between 'non stick scraped off' and seasoned

Your cooker could do with a good clean as well.

A seasoned wok will be made with a metal that would otherwise rust. To start with you give it a coating of oil and heat that until it mostly smokes away (you can do that several times). That the protects it. You can wash it lightly after use, but I think people don't usually use detergents, they give it a light rinse - or in marlowe's case, they don't do anything.

You can clearly see the affect of global warming and the melting of the Polar Ice Cap.

Don’t use metal implements (@Marlowe! ) they will scrape away the surfacing. After use wipe round with kitchen roll, apply a light coating of cooking oil. Done.

I'm thinking of getting a ceramic wok, purely for the non-stick properties. What's the verdict on those?

And who needs six burners?
