Assistant Cook
I may have made a critical error while seasoning my new wok: I had it on high heat and waited until the color change was complete. When I added the peanut oil it erupted in flame, melting part of the stove-top ventilation system and leaving the bottom of the wok looking pretty bad:
Obviously, something went very wrong...I mean adding oil to a scalding slab of of metal seems like a terrible idea but I swear that's what the instructions said to do...
So, is the wok ruined? And my follow up question: what did I do wrong? How can I keep from starting a grease fire next time?
