[Made in Japan] OIGEN Casting Nanbu Iron Kettle Nanbu Ironware Shinonome Kikko 1L Made in Japan IH Compatible Direct Flame z Honjien /Ra/

This is a Nambu iron kettle from Oshu, Iwate Prefecture. Nambu iron kettles boast excellent heat conductivity and heat retention due to their uniform thickness. Water boiled in an iron kettle releases iron, resulting in a mellow flavor. Its beautiful appearance makes it not only a functional tool but also a beautiful interior decoration. OIGEN iron kettles undergo a traditional kiln firing process to prevent rust. Furthermore, the unpainted, unglazed interior allows for a more intricate buildup of limescale, offering the enjoyment of cultivating your own unique kettle. Please cherish and use it for many years to come.

◎This 1L iron kettle features a tortoise shell pattern, a symbol of good fortune. The handle folds down for convenient storage. It's neither too big nor too small, making it easy to pour for both men and women. The base is thicker than usual, making it compatible with powerful 200V IH cooktops. It can be used on both direct flame and induction cooktops, making it an excellent gift for new beginnings or housewarmings.

The bottom may also deform due to rapid heating, so please use it on "low" to "medium" when heating. *Regarding the use of radiant heaters, unlike direct flame or IH, the heat output is weak, so it will take time to boil water. Also, it may not be usable depending on the shape of the radiant heater and iron kettle.

《Precautions for Use》 Ironware becomes extremely hot when overheated. It is also thick and heavy, so please handle with extreme care. Never wash the inside or outside with a scouring pad or abrasive powder. When using for the first time, change the water and boil water 2 or 3 times, then discard it before use. Never let it boil empty, and do not fill it with water to the brim. Also, please use the lid slightly ajar.
