=== The advantages of metal hammering technique "Shibori" ===

Unlike forging of hot working technique, "Shibori" is Japanese traditional cold working technique.
Properly heat-treated and especially slow cooled iron can be worked by hand hammering at ordinary temperatures. Also when making like frying pans by forging, hammer is beating inside of iron sheets, but in "Shibori", it will be beating outside of them like squeezing.
By beating outside like squeezing without hardness change due to temperature change, iron sheet can be tough, lightweight and uniform thickness.
However, using "Shibori" technique for iron is very difficult and it needs more than twice the time and effort to use for normal soft copper, brass and silver. For this reason, ”Iron Shibori” is a very rare technique in the world.

  • Outstanding light weight, heat conductivity and heat storage performance
  • Excellent durability
  • Uniform board thickness, easy-to-use shape
  • Dedicated perfect fitting lid available

=== Safety ===
The materials of Real Classic Ironware are iron and cooking oil only! There is no coating with chemical substances. It's completely safe. By virtue of no anticorrosive paint, burning off chemical paint before use is also unnecessary.

=== How to use ===
Commercial products require seasoning before use, but Real Classic Ironware is ready-to-use; coating with cooking oil by baked in a fire completely, there is no need for seasoning.
Thanks to excellent heat conduction, you can cook with less fire power than usual. (Please notice, fast heating by induction heater may cause a deformity.)
Handles of ironware may become hot depending on the cooking method. Please be careful for burns using oven mitts or the like if needed.
(Handles of a frying pans are good in heat dissipation, it can be held with bare hands if it's on a low flame.)

=== About Care ===
After use, please wash with water while the ironware is still hot. Since the oil on the surface will be lost, dishwasher detergent and wire wool are prohibited. Afterwards please dry with fire or towel etc.

=== Lifetime Free Repair Warranty ===
I will repair normal rust and deformation resulting from ordinary use without charge indefinitely! If I can check the sign engraved on the product there is no need to present the receipt.

美しく実用的な中華鍋

有名な打出の中華鍋と大きさ・重さのバランスは似ており実用的で、さらに手作りならではの、手間の掛かりそうなテーパーのある一体成型の持ち手はより握りやすく、丁寧な油焼きで初めからこびりつかず、そして格段に美しいです。鉄鍋に美を求めるなら並ぶところなしと思います。メールでのご対応から梱包のテープの貼り方まですべてが丁寧で、そういう方の作る作品として想像するとおりの、精緻で心配りの行き届いた素晴らしい鍋と思います。

Love this Wok. Beautifully made, and I was sent pictures of the process. Arrived in good time. Perfect balance and well seasoned- ready to wok. I used it in my restaurant to do a special dish with homemade basil udon noodle stir fry, my cooks loved to experience cooking with a real authentic wok vs the flat bottom.
Thank you for my beautiful tool!
