Iwachu Nambu Cast Iron Pan

Yes, Iwachu cast iron pans are compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric stoves. Because it is made of solid iron, it will heat efficiently across all these heat sources.

While Iwachu products are often pre-treated, it is best practice to season the pan lightly before your first cook. Simply wipe it with a thin layer of oil and heat it on the stove to build a non-stick foundation that will improve with every use.

While the circular mold is perfect for sunny-side up eggs, it is also excellent for making thick, uniform pancakes or even small, perfectly shaped burger patties. Its heavy-duty construction makes it a versatile tool for any recipe that benefits from precise, even heat.

This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, hand wash it with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, then dry it immediately over low heat on the stove. Once dry, apply a very light coating of oil before storing.

Cast iron offers superior heat retention and distribution, which creates a better sear and texture on eggs compared to lightweight non-stick pans. With proper care, a cast iron surface becomes naturally non-stick over time and will last for generations, unlike chemical coatings that eventually degrade.
