OT: WOK SEASONING :OT is this right

ryantt

the wife got a wok for me the other day and I seasoned it once on the grill, then Stirfried some onions, but it seems like there are portions of the seasoning that are not as good as others. Should I do another coat or two? Not really sure what it should look like. 

Below is a picture of it what do you guys think.

Coat the inside with crisco and then heat the outside with a MAPP torch until the inside is black. Otherwise, the heating can also be done on the Egg, though you may have to rotate the wok as you go.

I always thought blackening a wok too a few rounds oiling and heating and cooling

@GrateEggspectations I'll try a few rounds of the crisco.

Just use it. It will be fine.

Carbon Steel Woks, like cast iron skillets, get better each time they're used.
