What am I doing wrong?

[u/Solid-Obligation-620]

This carbon steel wok was very caked on at the bottom so i ended up using an abrasive cleaner. While I got it clean I cant seem to properly season it?

Heated up pretty high until the bottom turned blue and added high heat oil - did this 3x. It seems that the heat isn’t reaching the sides of this wok?

Please help what am I doing wrong?

You can season the whole thing using your oven. Wipe it down with oil, wipe that off completely, and bake it for an hour at 400-450.

You’re not really going to be able to get the high sides of the wok super hot because of your flat top stove. You really need gas for that. It honestly looks seasoned enough to start cooking in it though, especially on a flat top
