How do you remove lacquer from a wok?

To remove lacquer from a wok, first ensure the wok is clean and dry. Use a fine-grit sandpaper or a scrubbing pad to gently sand the lacquer off the surface, being careful not to scratch the metal underneath. For stubborn areas, you can also apply a solvent like acetone or paint thinner on a cloth and rub it on the lacquer. Afterward, wash the wok thoroughly with soap and water to remove any residue.
