How to care

Pot / Kettle

Stainless Steel Pot / Kettle

After use, wash thoroughly with a sponge or scrubbing pad and dishwashing detergent, and wipe off the moisture.
When removing burnt residue from the pot, soak it in hot water to soften the residue before removing it. Do not scrape with a knife or similar item as it may cause scratches.
Leaving dirt that contains salt or oil on the pot or storing it in a humid place may cause rust.
Do not leave it in contact with dissimilar metal products such as iron or aluminum. This may cause rust.
※ This is called “galvanic corrosion.”
If rust occurs, apply cream cleanser to a sponge or scrubbing pad and scrub it off.

Handling of Three-Layer Steel Pots

Three-layer steel is a material in which iron is sandwiched between stainless steel layers. The iron layer on the edge is folded inward to prevent rust, but if moisture gets into the gap of this rim, rust may occur, so please pay special attention to the following points:
After use, wash the pot with a sponge or scrubbing pad and dishwashing detergent, remove dirt thoroughly, wipe off moisture, and store with the rim facing upward. Do not leave it upside down while wet.
Do not leave it soaked in a basin filled with water.
If rust occurs on the rim, apply cream cleanser to a toothbrush and scrub it off, then rinse well.
For other care methods, follow the same instructions as for “Stainless Steel Pot / Kettle.”

Handling of Plastic Handles (Grips, Knobs)

For pots or kettles with plastic handles (grips) or knobs, do not use dishwashers or dish dryers. Degreasing and drying may cause deterioration of the plastic.

Frying Pan

Fluororesin-Coated (Non-Stick) Frying Pan

After use, wash with a sponge or scrubbing pad and dishwashing detergent, and wipe off the moisture.
Do not use scrubbing pads or cleansers, as they may cause scratches or peeling of the fluororesin coating.
To remove burnt residue, soak in hot water to soften the residue before removing it. Do not scrape with a knife or similar tool, as it may cause scratches or peeling of the fluororesin coating.
If rust appears on the metal part, apply cleanser to a sponge or scrubbing pad, scrub it off, and rinse well.

Iron Frying Pan

Leaving dirt that contains salt or oil or storing in a humid place may cause rust.
After use, wash with hot water. Use a sponge or a scrubbing brush like “Kamenoko tawashi.”
If left with moisture, rust may form. After care, immediately wipe off moisture or dry with low heat.
To remove burnt residue, soak in hot water to soften the residue before removing it. Do not scrape with a knife or similar item to avoid scratches.
After care, apply a thin layer of oil before storing.
If rust occurs, perform the following steps:
1. Use a scrubbing brush to completely remove the rust.
2. After removing the rust, wash and wipe off moisture.
3. Heat the pan over high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Stir-fry vegetable scraps, etc., to let the oil thoroughly soak into the pan.

Glass Lid

Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scrubbers. They may scratch the glass and cause breakage.
Do not immerse the hot glass lid in water, pour water on it, or touch it with a wet cloth. Sudden temperature changes may cause breakage.
Do not drop or strongly impact the glass lid. It may cause breakage.
Do not use a glass lid that has cracks or scratches.
Do not use the lid in a shifted position to prevent boil-over or spillover. Concentrated heat on part of the glass lid may cause cracks or breakage.
Do not use the glass lid in a microwave or oven.
If the lid breaks, the glass may shatter into small pieces. Handle it carefully to avoid injury.

How to Remove the Sticker

If a sticker is attached to the pot or kettle body and cannot be peeled off, try one of the following methods:

Use a commercially available sticker remover.
Use benzine or nail polish remover to peel it off.
Use a hairdryer to apply hot air to the sticker on the pot or kettle body to soften the adhesive and peel it off. (Be careful not to get burned.)
