Important Notes on the Wooden Handle
Please note the following characteristics of the JIU wooden handle:
The handle is intentionally designed with a slight looseness to protect the natural timber and prevent over-tightening.
Once locked into place, there may still be a small amount of movement. This is normal and does not affect safety or usability.
Due to this design feature, light surface scratches on the metal area may occur during assembly or use. These are considered within the manufacturer’s acceptable range and do not indicate a defect.
Each handle may vary slightly, as natural wood has individual differences in thickness and texture.
These characteristics are part of the intended design and manufacturing process, allowing the product to age naturally with use.
Compatible cooktops
Gas
Works on all standard gas stovetops. Direct flame delivers rapid, responsive heat — ideal for high-heat wok cooking, stir-frying, and traditional Japanese techniques that require quick temperature changes.
Ceramic
Safe for ceramic, glass, and halogen cooktops. Always lift rather than slide cookware to protect the surface, and avoid placing cold cookware onto a very hot plate.
Electric
Suitable for electric coil and solid hotplate cooktops. Allow the element to preheat fully before cooking for the most even heat transfer across the base.
Induction (IH)
Compatible with IH induction cooktops. Provides fast, precise, and energy-efficient heating. The magnetic base ensures even heat distribution across the cooking surface.

This innovative design ensures that the handle does not get in the way or contact food during cooking, providing a safe and convenient cooking experience.
Unique Shape and Versatile Design
The most distinctive feature of the Jiu Frying Pan is its unique shape with a wide rim. This allows the pan blends in naturally on dining tables, so you can serve your dish directly from the stove to the table.
Available in a variety of sizes, all of which are stackable for easy storage.
Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship
Drawing on decades of experience, the Jiu Frying Pan is manufactured by a small-town factory in Osaka, Japan.
Since its founding in 1951, this family-owned factory has been acquiring unique skills and knowledge; through repeated trial and error they've produced the exceptional Jiu Frying Pan.
Uncoated Thick Iron Plate
The Jiu Frying Pan features a 1.6mm thick mill scale steel plate, perfect for cooking ingredients slowly and thoroughly, even on low heat. This ensures a steaks are seared, vegetables that are crunchy, and bread that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Thanks to a proprietary hardening and tempering process, no seasoning is required; it is ready to use right out of the box.
This process also makes the pan rust-resistant and stick-resistant, enhancing the natural flavours of your food and providing exceptional taste and quality with every use.
Versatile and Compatible with All Stovetops
The Jiu Frying Pan is designed for versatility, compatible with all stovetops, including induction and gas. For induction cooking, simply heat the pan on low for 2 minutes before use.
With the handle removed, the pan can also be used directly in the oven, offering flexibility for various cooking methods.
Whether you're baking, frying, or sautéing, the Jiu Frying Pan adapts effortlessly to your cooking needs.
Serve Directly from Stove to Table
The Jiu Frying Pan is designed to look like a plate, allowing you to serve your dish directly from the stove or oven to the dining table. This ensures your meal stays hot, eliminating the need to transfer food to a separate plate. This design not only keeps your food warm but also enhances presentation, making every meal an elegant dining experience.
Quick and Effortless Cleaning
To maintain your Jiu Frying Pan, simply wash it with hot water using a pod scrubbing brush while the pan is still warm.
Dishwashing detergent is not required but can be used for stubborn stains or for the first wash. If there are burnt food residues, boiling water in the pan can help dislodge them.
This easy cleaning method keeps your pan in excellent condition without the need for harsh chemicals.
Effortless Seasoning for Enhanced Performance
Seasoning your Jiu Frying Pan is simple and quick. Begin by pouring a small amount of cooking oil into the pan and heating it. Remove the oil with a paper towel, then repeat the process by adding and heating the oil again and it’s ready for cooking.
With each use, the pan’s characteristics improve, as oil penetrates the iron, gradually darkening the surface and enhancing its flavour and unique appeal.
Proper Storage for Longevity
After use, wash the pan and dry the cookware by heating it up on the stove. If you do not plan to use your Jiu Frying Pan for a while, apply a very light coat of cooking oil to the entire surface with a paper towel before storing.
This simple step prevents rust and ensures your pan remains in top condition, ready for use whenever you need it.
