• Product Material: Hammered Iron

• Manufacturer: Yamada Kogyosho

• Made in: Japan

• Handcrafted by Yamada Kogyosho, a prestigious Japanese family-run craft factory since 1957
• Made from high-quality hammered iron for durability and heat resistance
• Perforated design allows efficient draining of oil and water
• Round-bottomed shape ideal for use with woks, sized smaller than the wok for easy handling
• Protective varnish coating to prevent rusting during shipping, to be burned off before first use

Before first use, heat the strainer over high heat to burn off the protective varnish coating. Use the strainer to scoop deep-fried or boiled ingredients directly from the wok, allowing excess oil or water to drain through the perforations. For best results, choose a strainer size smaller than your wok for easy handling. Refer to seasoning guides to properly season the iron, enhancing its non-stick properties and preventing rust.

After use, clean the strainer with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials that may damage the iron. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust, and store in a dry place. Regularly season the strainer by applying a thin layer of oil and heating to maintain its protective coating and prolong its lifespan. Avoid soaking the strainer in water for extended periods and never place it in the dishwasher.
