Hand washing is the choice supported by the cited guidance for the carbon-steel wok it covers: the guide explicitly advises against putting that wok in a dishwasher. This is not a verified rule for every wok type.
What the guidance covers
The source says its focus is carbon steel. Its no-dishwasher advice should therefore be understood in that context rather than applied automatically to woks made from other materials or with different constructions.
For the wok discussed in the guide, the direct answer is clear: do not use a dishwasher.
How to check what applies
Before choosing a washing method, the reader should:
- Check the wok’s stated material.
- Look for care instructions supplied with the wok.
- Compare those instructions with the cited carbon-steel guidance.
- If the instructions are missing or unclear, request model-specific care guidance before using a dishwasher.
What still needs confirmation
The cited guidance does not establish a universal washing method for woks outside its carbon-steel focus. Readers should confirm the care directions for their own wok rather than assume that all woks should be washed by hand—or all can safely be placed in a dishwasher.
