So I just scored a nice big steel wok from Kitchen Warehouse. Now, a wok needs to be seasoned or cured before cooking in it, which I think is usually done by heating it to really high heat with oil in it and gradually heating all over till the oil burns into the steel.

Problem is, we were attempting to do this last night when the glass cooktop under the gas burners broke. Well, not just broke - exploded would be more accurate, I was vacuuming glass bits out of the carpet on the other side of the loungeroom!

Wondering if anyone has an easier way to do it or has done it successfully and can give some tips?
