This sukiyaki pan can even upgrade your usual homemade sukiyaki. This pan is only compatible with gas stove (NOT compatible with induction cooktop). Cast ironware can maintain more heat and keep inside temperature even when you put lots of ingredients, and can make the ingredients soft, fluffy and rich in flavor. The double carrying handles can be folded flat to save storage space. Use & Care Nambu ironware is very heavy, and should be handled with special care. Either rapid cooling or dropping will cause cracks or even more damage. The pan and handle will be extremely hot, and make sure to use a pot holder. Non detergent washing is recommended. Just washing the pan with a scrub brush in warm water will make oiling easier and prevent the pan burning next time. After washing the pan, just boil it with no water in and thoroughly dry it. In case the pan gets rusted, remove rust with a steel scrubbing brush, and then apply a thin layer of oil before storage. However, iron rust is harmless to your health and you can keep using the pan. Background Ikenaga Iron Works Co Ltd was founded in Osaka, Japan in 1937. Its line of business includes manufacturing of steel castings such as alloy, bushings, and rolling mill rolls.
