Kyoto Katsugu Nitrided Iron Stir-Fry Pan The evolution of the iron skillet. Featuring specialized heat-treated iron that is virtually rust-proof and a removable oak handle, this Kyoto Katsugu pan combines the high-heat performance of traditional iron with modern convenience. Provenance Handmade in Japan π―π΅ Material Special Heat-Treated Iron & Natural Oak Wood Handle Size Options Available in Γ 7.8" (20 cm) or Γ 10.2" (26 cm) Weight Approx. 0.6kg (Ultra-lightweight for ironware) Compatibility IH (Induction): YES Oven Safe: YES (Handle must be removed) Microwave/Dishwasher: NO Chef's Note: Unlike traditional cast iron, the Kyoto Katsugu pan undergoes a special nitriding process, making it extremely resistant to corrosion without the need for intense "pre-burning." The removable Oak handle not only provides a premium grip but allows the pan to double as an oven roasting dish. To maintain the natural non-stick surface, simply wash with warm water and apply a light coat of cooking oil after each use.
