BUILDING YOUR PATINA

One of the exceptional benefits of owning a MAKO Steak Pan is the natural patina that will gradually form over time on its surface. This patina surface enhances flavour, improves natural non-stick properties and elevates your cooking experience. With each use, your steak pan's patina will continue to develop.

Each time you use your pan, it is important to follow the cleaning and care instructions.

CLEANING

Always let your steak pan cool down before using cold water, otherwise warping may occur. Once your pan is cool, clean it with warm water and a gentle sponge or brush.Use as little detergent as possible because it often contains acid that may damage your patina layer or cause rust. Never put your pan in the dishwasher. If your pan needs a little extra cleaning, pour in a small layer of water and bring it to the boil. Let the water cool down, then remove the residue with a brush or spatula. This doesn’t affect the patina layer, but it should lift away any stubborn food remains.

AFTERCARE

After cleaning, place your pan over medium heat until no moisture remains. Then add one teaspoon of vegetable oil and use some paper towel to wipe the oil over the interior surface of the pan while it’s hot (be careful!). This helps protect your pan and build a beautiful patina. Now store the pan in a dry space.

For best results, always cook with high smoke point oils such as vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil. Avoid low smoke point oils like olive oil as they can cause issues and affect the seasoning. Learn more about cooking oil smoke points here.

NOTE: Pay attention when cooking on induction, using a low temperature setting as the pan will heat up quickly. Also avoid sliding your pan on a glass surface.

What is a patina?

One of the best parts of owning a MAKO Wok is the natural patina that will build over time on the surface of your wok. This adds flavour, increases the natural non-stick ability and enhances the cooking experience. Each time you use your wok, this patina will build further.

To maintain your patina, it is important to carefully follow our cleaning and aftercare instructions.

What does patina look like?

As your patina builds, you will see your wok transform. Instead of the matte black finish you saw fresh out of the box, your wok will develop shiny, silvery and burnished qualities. This is the desirable look and finish.

What stovetops does it work on?

Because of the flat bottom, it works on all stovetops, including induction.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No! Please don’t put your MAKO in the dishwasher as this will damage both the wood handles and the patina layer. The Mako is very easy to clean with our handy wok brush.

Why is the wok pre-seasoned? What does this mean?

It can often take years to develop a proper seasoning on a plain carbon steel surface and be quite difficult to achieve. By pre-seasoning the MAKO Black Steel 14, we’ve accelerated the seasoning process. Meaning your wok will perform as it should – immediately – straight out of the box.

How do we pre-season the wok?

Our unique black steel is created using natural oils and heat treatment to create the natural, chemical-free, pre-seasoned wok.
