Question: Where was this pan made?
Document: This pan is real cast iron. It's not nonstick; although, from the picture it appears to have a Teflon coating. I recommend that you "season" the pan before use or else your batter will stick and burn. It's very heavy for its small size and does weight close to 5 lbs. The more you use it the easier it will become to cook with. Other than takoyaki, I've made mini ebelskiver (pancakes) and they came out perfectly!
I ordered this based on the description of cast iron. DO NOT be deceived this is not cast iron, straight out of the box black paint was chipping revealing a white/silver surface. This is nothing more than some toxic s--t duping itself for cast iron. Move forward with  an American made product or a brand you trust !
I'm going to buy a different pan and try that out.
Am looking for different uses for this cool pan - that includes using it for crafts! Am waiting for feedback for family who are all teachers.
After seasoning my new takoyaki pan a few times, I was able to cook my takoyaki and aebleskiver without sticking. The size is perfect.
Best bargin around. Plan on using it soon after I get all my ingredients together. I've looked at other places for a cast iron takoyaki pan. All over my price range. This is a good deal.
I bought two of these a few days ago. And I used one of them to make takoyaki. After the very first use, and leaving it for the very next day to wash, a large amount of rust appeared on both top and bottom. In translation, this pan is now no longer safe to be used again. And I can't return them, because I threw the boxes away.
the pan have coating not disclose on Amazon. it may have disclosure/warning in Japanese/Chinese on the box in red. tried to wash it would not come off. after clean with soap and hot water, my first batch of cooking stuck to the pan. tried to clean the pan and attempted to season it but i don't think it working, my batch still sticking to the pan.
Very annoying to deal with.In addition, the cooking surface of this pan is "painted", yes, with paint that may or may not be safe.When making takoyaki using a takoyaki pick, this paint scrapes off and ends up in the takoyaki.Nobody I know likes to have takoyaki with paint chips in them.I rated it 2 stars, but it could be more if the product wasn't painted and matched the "sales" photo.
I loved cast iron so I ordered this instead of the aluminum pan. I used it three times over my gas stove. Even though I preheated the pan over medium heat for a good 7-10 minutes, each time the center compartments get very hot and burns the batter while the outer edges barely cooks the batter. It's also very hard to flip due to constant sticking even though I put a generous amount of oil on the pan and in each compartment.
