- Legendary Nambu Tekki Casting: The elite 1.9kg iron body slowly accumulates heat and holds it tenaciously, creating a rapid, crisp exterior seal that traps inner steam for soft, fluffy interiors.
- Intricate Authentic Scale Detail: Precision-milled internal scale and fin detailing releases easily from modern batters, leaving beautifully defined traditional fish imprints on your cooked snacks.
- Versatile Heat Source Adaptability: Performs flawlessly across classic home gas stovetops, kitchen burner ranges, and outdoor camping grids or charcoal BBQ fire setups.
- Ergonomic Stay-Cool Handles: Outfitted with high-grade resin handle caps and an end-ring locking mechanism that keeps both plate faces tightly compressed for uniform, mess-free flipping.
• Washing Instructions: Hand wash only. Never place ironware in a dishwasher. Clean using a stiff bristle brush and warm water immediately after use. Avoid using soap or wire steel wool scouring pads which tear away the protective oil patina.
• Drying & Anti-Rust Protocol: Dry completely immediately after washing by placing the open pan on a low gas burner for 1–2 minutes to evaporate trapped moisture. Lightly coat the interior molds with a thin film of neutral cooking oil before storing.
• Appliance Boundaries: Due to the thermal-insulated synthetic resin handles, this specialty baker must never be placed inside conventional baking ovens, microwaves, or high-heat broilers.
