Niigata Iron Pans
Welcome to the world of Japanese Iron Frying Pans
Iron cookware has long been valued for its heat retention properties and ability to cook evenly across the pan’s surface area. The main disadvantage of using iron for cookware has been the extreme weight and propensity to develop rust if left damp even for the shortest time – until now!
Here is a series of iron pans that is lightweight, resists oxidisation and is easy to maintain and suitable for all heat sources – induction, electric, ceramic and gas.
Made primarily by hand, these cold pressed iron pans are crafted by the artisan workshop of FD STYLE in Niigata, Japan. A special coating called OXYNIT increases hardness, as well as rust and scratch resistance.
The patented process involves nitrating and oxide-coating the iron surface, which results in a characteristic uneven colouring – this in no way affects the quality or performance, but is a unique effect of this innovative and skilled treatment. All handles are made from laminated bamboo.
