What are the maintenance and cleaning methods for aluminum non-stick woks?

  1. Open pot treatment before use
    Remove all packaging labels and check whether the handle is firm. Wash the inside and outside of the pot with warm water + neutral detergent and wipe off the moisture thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (peanut oil or vegetable oil) in the pot to evenly cover the coating. And let the aluminum non-stick wok stand for more than 12 hours (overnight is recommended) to form a protective film before use.
  2. Daily maintenance points
    No high heat is allowed: aluminum pots conduct heat quickly, and it is recommended to cook with medium and low heat (≤260℃) to avoid empty burning or oil temperature exceeding 250℃ to cause coating cracking.
    Cold pot material: No need to preheat, add oil or food before turning on the fire to avoid thermal shock.
    No metal spatula: Use silicone spatula or wooden spatula to avoid scratching the coating.
    Avoid cooking with hard objects: Hard ingredients such as crab shells and ribs are easy to damage the coating, so use other pots instead.
    Food taboos: Do not cook acidic foods: vinegar, tomatoes, pickled cabbage, etc. will corrode the aluminum substrate and accelerate the shedding of the coating.
  3. Cleaning steps and methods
    After use, let the pot cool naturally to room temperature to avoid cold water on the hot pot, which may cause deformation of the coating. When washing urgently, rinse with warm water (≤50℃). When cleaning, use a sponge/soft cloth + neutral detergent to gently wipe. Do not use steel wool or hard brushes.
