Before each use, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the cooking surface and preheat the pan slowly to ensure even cooking. Use the pan on gas or electric cooktops, avoiding 200V induction stoves. Pour your takoyaki batter into each mold cavity and cook while turning the balls for even crispiness. After cooking, apply a small amount of vegetable oil over the interior surface while the pan is still warm to maintain seasoning.

Hand wash the pan only using a dish scrubber such as Kamenoko Tawashi; avoid soap or harsh detergents to preserve the seasoning. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent rust. Do not leave food in the pan after cooking. Store the cast ironware in a dry location to maintain its condition and longevity.
