1 Some people prefer to season a wok using the oven. 2  Peanut oil or corn oil are ideal oils for seasoning a wok because they have a high smoke point. 3  Stainless steel or nonstick-coated woks do not need to be seasoned.

Carbon steel woks don't hold seasoning like cast iron; instead, you redevelop the seasoning with every use when cooking over high heat. Even so, it shouldn't scratch off that easily. You can reseason by cooking something with a bit of oil over very high heat (the wok should be smoking) until the bottom blackens.
