These inventors have invested great deals of time, wisdom, and money to ensure that Yosukata products have everything necessary to cultivate the perfect cooking experience. The \u003cstrong\u003eblack wok\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in a few different sizes, so you can choose the one that is most convenient for your storage and frying situation. Each option has 4.5-star ratings, so you do not have to worry about one being better than the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have used cookware made of this material before, you may be apprehensive about the weight of this ware. Fear not, though! Yosukata products were designed to feel lightweight and easy to swirl around for \u003cstrong\u003eeffortless frying\u003c\/strong\u003e. The smallest option actually weighs less than 3 pounds. Even the largest option still weighs less than four pounds. If you don’t believe it, order one and see for yourself! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese woks have other great features as well, such as the perfect rounded sides and a balanced bottom for even \u003cstrong\u003eheating\u003c\/strong\u003e. And, they have a dry wood \u003cstrong\u003ehandle\u003c\/strong\u003e that is reliably welded to the basin rivet-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeasoning Explanation and Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned above, your ware will come pre-seasoned, which will prevent it from getting rusted so long as you engage in proper product maintenance and care. However, you will still need to season your ware after it comes. The seasoning process adds a \u003cstrong\u003epatina layer\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is this layer that will give your ware \u003cstrong\u003enonstick\u003c\/strong\u003e qualities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to seasoning, rinse your Yosukata ware gently with warm water, and dry it with a paper towel. Then, the seasoning is performed by repeatedly coating the ware in oil, and then rubbing the oil into the surface with a brush or other tool for a period of time while it sits on the hot stovetop—typically for about 15 to 20 minutes. Just about any cooking oil with a high smoke point will do the job!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the process, it is natural to see a slight change in color while the ware is warming. Repeat this process until you are able to fry an egg on your ware without the egg sticking. You may need to repeat the process between four and ten times to achieve an adequate patina. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You Should Buy a Black Carbon Steel Wok\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo chemicals go into our products—just iron and other safe minerals \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated\u003c\/strong\u003e into a perfect combo. The black color of this ware comes from the preseasoning process. We recommend the smallest size of the \u003cstrong\u003eblack woks\u003c\/strong\u003e if you are cooking for 1–2 people, the medium size if you are cooking for 3–4 people, and the largest size if you are cooking for 4–5 people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can cook just about anything, from breakfast to dessert, with a Yosukata wok in a safe and easy manner.
