Iron Fry Pan

The workshop producing Kondo pans started at the beginning on the Meiji period producing mainly hand tools for farming. The transition to iron pans was a request from a local housewife concerned about using teflon!

The Kondo forged pan is hammer forged, both rustic and beautifully formed. It's lighter than you think, yet holds in heat and with a depth of about 4 1/2mm is easy to toss ingredients. The handle is not too long and easily fits in the oven. All kondo pans come pre-seasoned and just need a quick wash before their first use.

Although this pan is amazing for frying etc but it should not be used to make acidic tomato based pasta sauces and the like as the acidity will dull the non stick properties. It is also not the best pan for wet dishes.

Outer Dimensions: 26cm x 4.7cm not including handle.

Natural cooking surface

  • This Japanese forged iron pan is simply oil seasoned and has absolutely no chemical coating.
  • Excellent for electric, induction, gas.
  • Over time you will notice the pan change in colour. The uneven surface colour is normal and does not affect the pan’s performance.

Tips

  • As this pan conducts heats very efficiently and quickly, a medium heat should be all you need. If you put on a high heat you will notice the food cook very quickly and therefore burn if not careful.
  • Have a kitchen towel ready to grab the handle as it gets very hot.
  • Don’t put hot pan under cold running water or it may warp or crack. Unfortunately it’s not possible to remove the warping.
  • It is best to wash this pan with hot water immediately after use. For foods that stick, soak with hot water and detergent for about 10 minutes.
