Before each use, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the cooking surface and preheat the pan thoroughly on a gas stove. Pour the batter into each mold, add your choice of filling such as sweet azuki bean paste, then cook until golden brown on both sides. Avoid leaving food in the pan after cooking to prevent rust. After use, hand wash with a soft sponge and dry completely. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil on the inside and outside surfaces while the pan is still warm before storing.

Hand wash the pan gently with a soft sponge; avoid using soap or harsh detergents to maintain the seasoning. Thoroughly dry the pan immediately after washing to prevent rust formation. After drying, apply a light coating of vegetable oil to both the inside and outside surfaces while the pan is still warm. Store the pan in a dry place away from moisture and humidity to ensure its longevity.
