Dh washed dishes last night and left wok to dry. I usually dry and then oil it. There is rust on it now, a teeny patch in the middle. Would you use it again? It is a bit old, but a good quality one. Anyone know if they are made of iron?

Mine does this - I have to oil it straight away or rust appears.

Think they are usually carbon steel, and so it will need to be reseasoned

Some of my pans from Ikea are fine. Have very nice huge pasta one - no complaints.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
