Chitose Japanese Iron Non-Stick Frying Pan (IH Compatible) 26cm

This is an iron frying pan from Chitose, that is made of the highest quality iron, and uses natural wood for the handle. Chitose is serious about iron cookware and the ways in which iron benefits you in the kitchen. They say that the more you use iron, the better it will become. As time goes on, iron cookware begins to form a natural coating of oil, which transforms it into a durable non-stick tool that you can use for years to come, if you take care of it correctly.

This sleek and stylish frying pan is made to last, featuring a unique process of silicone resin coating, and a multi-functional design. As it is deeper than a typical frying pan, it’s perfect for stir-frying, as the ingredients are less likely to spill. It can be used much in the same way as a flat-bottomed wok.

Silicone resin coated iron cookware doesn't require seasoning prior to first use, like other iron cookware does. The thin layer of silicone resin makes the pan non-stick, and rust-resistant. With time, this coating will wear off, and from that point seasoning with a thin layer of oil is recommended to maintain the non-rust and non-stick properties. To extend the life of the silicone coating, make sure you wash the pan gently, with a soft sponge and minimal dish soap.
