Lagostina carbon steel wok
I bought this wok today and everything is sticking to it.
Upon getting home i: 1. washed the pan with soap 2. Put it on the stove top at about level 4 3. Put in canola oil and swashed it around a little before dumping it out.
Then I tried cooking chicken with it I put some chili oil in the pan and tried cooking some chicken at around a level 5-6
While cooking, the chicken would stick to the bottom if I left it for more than a couple seconds.
After I was done I washed the pan with soap again and when I was done it had this oil stain as seen in the first image.
I then seasoned the pan again but make sure to fully wipe in the oil.
Later I then tried cooking tomorrow’s lunch with it, eggs. Again around a level 4-5 ( I tried going lower but it just wasn’t really cooking the eggs when I did) When as done, the pan looked like the second image.
Is the pan ruined? What am I or did I do wrong ? This was $65 CAD after tax
