Several weeks ago I got a wok from Ceramic Grill Store and today was the first time I got to use it. I had blackened it so it was ready to go.

    Gotta get me a wok, we did fajitas on cast irons, turned out great but I believe the wok would be easier. What is blackening it.

    you might brace yourself as some people will tell you you have your Spider upside down! I switch back and forth depending on my dome temp at the time I plan to wok. Obviously closer to the coals the hotter. Also I learned to close my bottom vent entirely to prevent a raging inferno!

    Kim, looks really good. I believe someone else asked about blackening the wok. How did you do it??

    Faith,
    you didn't ask me, but I see your question has gone unanswered plus has been buried. I blackened my steel wok that I bought from tjv along with a Spider by first washing it real well with soap and water - for the FIRST and LAST time as you don't want to use soap in the future. Then dry it well and using either Crisco or veggie oil coat it inside and out - not heavy, but not real light either. I then just stuck it in our oven at 250 for an hour. I repeated that and have never had to do it again as it just gets better with use and age. Here's a pix of mine after those first two coats. Note how it looked bronze-like then - now it's more black.

    After each use wash it and wipe it down with a light coat of oil and then store it in a clean dust free place. I achieve that using one of those giant ZipLoc bags.

    Thank you RRP. Sounds like the care of a C.I. skillet.
