Cleaning & Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Berlinger Haus Wok, please follow these detailed cleaning and care instructions:

Before First Use:

• Remove all labels and packaging materials from the wok.
• Wash the wok thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap.
• Rinse thoroughly under running water and dry completely with a soft, clean cloth.
• To condition the non-stick surface, apply a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil) onto a paper towel. Rub it evenly over the entire interior cooking surface. Heat the wok over very low heat for approximately 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let it cool completely. Wipe off any excess oil. This step helps to protect and extend the life of the non-stick coating.

Daily Cleaning:

• Allow to Cool Completely: Always allow the wok to cool down completely to room temperature before attempting to clean it. Submerging a hot wok in cold water can cause thermal shock, which may lead to warping of the wok and potential damage to the non-stick coating over time.
• Hand Washing is Highly Recommended: For optimal care and to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating and the matt finish, hand washing is strongly advised.
  • Wash the wok with warm water and a mild dish soap.
  • Use a soft sponge, silicone scrubber, or a soft cloth. Never use abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or aggressive cleaning detergents, as these will scratch and damage the non-stick surface and the exterior finish.
• For Stubborn Food Residue: If food has become stuck, do not scrape it off with metal utensils. Instead, fill the wok with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, then let it soak for 15-20 minutes. This will usually loosen the residue, allowing it to be easily wiped away with a soft cloth.
• Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, rinse the wok thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Dry Immediately: Dry the wok completely with a soft, clean towel. This prevents water spots and helps maintain the elegant matt taupe finish.

General Care & Maintenance:

• Use Low to Medium Heat (mostly): While woks are often associated with high-heat cooking for stir-frying, the turbo induction base provides excellent heat distribution. For most tasks, use medium-high heat, and adjust as needed. Extreme high heat for prolonged periods can damage the non-stick coating.
• Use Appropriate Utensils: To prevent scratching the non-stick surface, always use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils. Never use metal utensils inside the wok.
• Avoid Overheating an Empty Wok: Do not preheat the empty wok for extended periods on high heat. This can cause significant damage to the non-stick coating.
• Proper Storage: Store the wok carefully to prevent scratches. If stacking with other cookware, always place a soft cloth, paper towel, or pan protector between them to protect the non-stick surface and the exterior finish.
• Dishwasher Use (Use with Caution): While the wok is marketed as "easy to clean" and some non-stick cookware claims to be dishwasher safe, frequent dishwashing can progressively shorten the lifespan of the non-stick coating due to the harshness of dishwasher detergents and high-temperature cycles. For maximum longevity and to preserve the pristine condition of your wok, hand washing is the preferred method. If you do choose to use a dishwasher, opt for a mild detergent and a low-temperature cycle.
• No Abrasive Chemicals: Absolutely avoid using abrasive cleaners, oven cleaners, or any harsh chemical cleaning agents on any part of the wok, especially on the non-stick coating or the exterior finish.

By diligently following these cleaning and care instructions, your Berlinger Haus Wok will continue to provide exceptional cooking performance and maintain its beautiful appearance for many years to come.
