1. **Initial Prep**: Wash with warm, soapy water before first use. Dry completely.

2. **Seasoning (Optional)**: For best results, apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat on medium for 5 minutes. Wipe clean. This builds the natural non-stick layer.

3. **Daily Cooking**: Use low to medium heat. The iron distributes heat evenly, so high heat is rarely needed. Use wooden, silicone, or our provided utensils.

4. **Cleaning**: Let pan cool slightly. Clean with warm water, a soft sponge, and mild soap. Dry immediately with a towel.

Summit Kogyo began in a small Japanese workshop in 1953, dedicated to a single problem: modern non-stick pans fail under high heat and lose their coating. Our founder, a third-generation blacksmith, refused to accept that a quality pan should be disposable. We spent a decade reverse-engineering the natural non-stick properties of well-seasoned cast iron into a modern, lightweight skillet. Every Tetsunaberyu pan is forged in our own factory in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan—a city designated by the Japanese government as a 'Traditional Craft Production Area' for metalwork. Each skillet undergoes 47 individual quality checks and is certified for food safety by the Japan Cookware Association. This commitment has made it the #1 rated iron skillet in Japan for home cooks seeking durability.

The Summit Tetsunaberyu 28cm Iron Skillet is a Japanese non-stick pan crafted from high-quality materials designed for durability and cooking performance. Its primary ingredient is cast iron, which provides excellent heat retention and even heat distribution, allowing for consistent cooking results and the ability to sear foods at high temperatures. The pan features a non-stick coating, typically made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or a ceramic-based compound, which prevents food from sticking, reduces the need for excessive oil, and facilitates easy cleaning. This coating is often reinforced with materials like titanium or diamond particles to enhance scratch resistance and longevity. Additionally, the skillet may include trace elements like carbon in the iron to improve strength and prevent warping. The ergonomic handle is usually made from heat-resistant materials such as stainless steel or phenolic resin, ensuring safe and comfortable handling. These ingredients collectively offer benefits such as versatile cooking capabilities, from frying to baking, reduced maintenance due to the non-stick surface, and long-term reliability, making it suitable for both home cooks and culinary enthusiasts seeking professional-grade results.
