Key Features

• This is an authentic iron Gyoza pan. It is fun to see the pan is being coated with oil over time and getting better to use.
• Thick pans can retain heat and conduct it deep inside of ingredients so that they will be soft and juicy.

Use & Care

• At the time of delivery, iron products are coated with protective varnish to prevent them rusting during transport and storage. The varnish needs to be burnt off over high heat to expose the bare metal underneath, and the wok needs to be thoroughly seasoned before first use.
• For the way how to season the wok, please kindly refer to the following page: Have an all-around Japanese wok in your kitchen!
• Only for gas cooktop. Not compatible with induction heating (IH).
• Note that the handle will be extremely hot during cooking.
