New packaging. Supplement your iron with Nanbu ironware. Tenku Tetsumaru Convection Type. Trademark registration pending. Tetsumaru Nanbu Iron [◆Caution◆] Due to the nature of iron and the fact that this product is not enameled, rust may occur after use. Please be aware of this before purchasing. [Material] Nanbu Cast Iron [Size] Approx. 6 x 6 x 2.3 cm [Weight] Approx. 170 g [Made in Japan] Nanbu Iron
[Four Holes and Bowl-Shaped Design for Increased Efficiency] Tenku Tetsumaru reduces the contact area to promote convection, and four approximately 5 mm holes on the top promote convection circulation. This allows for more iron to dissolve. Furthermore, compared to a non-perforated iron product, the amount of iron leached is approximately 30-40% higher. It also doubles the amount leached compared to a non-perforated iron block. [High-Temperature Hardened Type Only] Tetsumaru is a rare high-temperature hardened iron supplement product. After casting, the iron is further tempered at high temperatures, increasing the amount of iron leaching by up to 10 times, further slowing the progression of rust. Each iron ball is hand-polished by artisans, making it the ultimate source of iron.
[Heatstroke Prevention] While "water" and "salt" are the standard ways to prevent heatstroke, it's little-known that "iron" is just as important. A lack of iron inhibits the production of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to every corner of the body. Furthermore, when trying to replenish iron through food, the iron contained in it is called trivalent iron, which is difficult for the body to absorb and is said to be less effective. However, Tenku Tetsumaru's leached iron (divalent iron) is efficiently absorbed by the body, making it extremely effective. [Just Add to Cookware] It's easy to use. Simply add the appropriate amount of water to a pot or kettle and place the Tenku Tetsu Tamago in it. Simply add it to miso soup, tea, stir-fries, or even your rice bran mash for effective results. You can also add it to your rice cooker to cook fluffy rice and replenish your iron at the same time.
[How to Use] ◆ When boiling water (for tea, hot pot, miso soup, or rice) ◆ Use it to cook eggplant so that its color does not fade ◆ Add it to boiling black beans to give them a beautiful black color ◆ Use it to remove sand from shellfish such as clams and mussels ◆ Iron Egg Egg Iron Iron Egg [How to Use] ● Put an appropriate amount of water into your cookware, bring it to a boil, and place the Tenku Tetsumaru in it and boil for a while. ● After using it in cooking, remove it promptly and rinse with water. ● Afterwards, wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth and dry thoroughly. ● The amount of leached iron varies depending on the boiling time of the water. If the water continues to boil for a long time, it may turn brown and develop a metallic odor, so remove it after 3 to 5 minutes as a guide. ● As a guide, use one product for 1 liter.
[Precautions for Use] ◆ Before use, rinse thoroughly with water. ◆Place the iron ball in hot water. Boiling it in water may cause rust. ◆Do not use with vinegar, as this will significantly accelerate rust. ◆After use, remove the iron ball and wash it thoroughly. Doing so may cause rust. ◆The iron ball will be very hot immediately after removal, so please handle with care to avoid burns. ◆If rust is found, wash it thoroughly to remove it before use. ◆Avoid using detergent or a scrubbing pad, as this may cause the surface to peel or mold. ◆There may be a rusty odor at first, but this will gradually disappear, so please use with confidence. ◆Please be careful not to wipe off any moisture immediately after use, as this may cause rust. ◆Do not use if you suspect you have a metal allergy. ◆When first using the product, the liquid may turn black when placed in hot water, etc., or brown with repeated use. This is due to the iron content, so it is safe to use.
