Before first use, thoroughly wash the surface to remove any dirt. Warm the pan over low to medium heat, then apply a thin layer of oil by stir-frying vegetables in the pan to season it. Remove the vegetables and allow the pan to cool. When cooking, preheat the pan on a gas cooktop and pour in your batter and fillings to create taiyaki. After cooking, clean the pan with a scourer or brush and hot water—avoid using detergent. Dry by heating again, cool down, and apply a thin layer of oil before storing. Always handle with care as the pan is heavy and gets extremely hot during use.

Clean the pan after each use with a scourer or brush and hot water without detergent to preserve the seasoning. Dry thoroughly by heating the pan to evaporate any moisture. Once cooled, apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rusting before storage. Avoid sudden temperature changes and dropping the pan, as it may cause cracking or breaking. Handle with care due to its heavy weight and high heat during use.
