Blacksmith's Iron Pots <3 Sizes> <Main Body Only / Main Body + Lid>

An iron pot by blacksmith Yasushi Kaneko.

Iron can be divided into ``Casting'', which is made by pouring iron into a mold, such as an iron kettle, and ``Forging,'' where it is hammered into shape. Cast iron kettles, and forged frying pans, pots, and cutlery knives.

The characteristics of iron materials include high thermal conductivity and strength.

This two-handed pot uses a thicker iron plate than a frying pan. You don't have to hold and shake it like a frying pan. For stewed dishes and oven dishes.

A piece of cut iron plate is heated at a high temperature and beaten to create the shape of the pot while creating the edges and height.

The crimped handle is also made of the same material, and is simple but sturdy.

The material is "iron" itself. It has good heat conduction, and heat is evenly transferred to meat and vegetables in a short time. The simplest and easiest to imagine is the deliciousness of simple teppanyaki. Meat grilled on a high-temperature iron plate, vegetables, yakisoba, etc. are delicious. It is also recommended for dishes that simply make the most of the taste of the ingredients.

Since it is not coated, it can be used for a long time and you can use it with confidence. Please enjoy the aging while using it for a long time.

As a feature of the shape, it is made a little deeper, so it can be used not only for frying but also for various frying pan cooking.

It can also be used with IH.

I'm sure many of you are worried about handling and care, so here are some important points.

"About the handle"
The handle is also made of iron, so it gets hot when used at high temperatures. Please use it by wrapping it in a cloth. If the heat is low, you may be able to hold it without a cloth, but please be careful not to burn yourself when using it.

"It looks like it's going to burn"
The point here is to heat the frying pan well first, then add the oil and then add the ingredients. It is important to get the heat right the first time. Since heat conduction is high, it is necessary to reduce the heat and adjust it during cooking. It requires a different way of handling than a frying pan with Teflon coating, so I hope you can get used to it while using it.

"Cleaning after use"
Since it is oil-baked when it is made, it is ready to use as soon as you receive it. Because of this oil-baked finish, it becomes a coating film and protects the iron. It is recommended that you do not use detergent and wash with a brush or a brush. The oil used for cooking remains, and it becomes a coating film. This way you don't need to apply oil after washing. There is no surface treatment, so you can scrub it and wash it strongly.

"After washing"
Although there is a film of oil on it, since it is iron, please remove the moisture as soon as possible. Of course there is no problem if you wipe it with a cloth, but if you put it on the stove and the heat is blown away, it will be faster and more reliable.
If you are concerned about odors or stains, it is okay to use detergent. In that case, the oil on the surface has been removed, so use a scrap of cloth to soak in the oil. (If you don't use detergent, you don't need it.)

Just like an iron kettle, once you start dating, you don't need to deal with anything special or detailed.

Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any concerns or problems regarding handling.

▼ Dedicated lid

If desired, a special lid can be attached.

The lid is made of the same material as the body. The handle is made by bending a string of iron and has a height and shape that makes it easy to pick up and lift.

Due to the manufacturing method, the edges of both the main body and the lid are not flat, but have some unevenness. Therefore, mass-produced lids do not fit perfectly.

Choose this special lid for cooking that locks in heat. At the time of production, the main body and the lid are combined to produce. Therefore, basically we do not accept orders for individual lids afterward, and our inventory is divided into "main body only" and "main body + lid".
