It's a delicious, hearty dish that features thinly sliced beef, tofu and seasonal vegetables simmered in a sweet sauce consisting of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. Families sit around the hot pot and help themselves to the ingredients, often dipping them in raw, beaten eggs before eating. One of the most unique things about sukiyaki is the pot it's made in. Sukiyaki pots are shallow, iron pots - very different from the deep, ceramic or steel pots that other Japanese nabemono are typically cooked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular sukiyaki pot is a cut above the rest. It's handcrafted by master craftsmen at Iwachu, in Iwate, Japan. They use the traditional techniques of Nambu ironware, a style from Iwate that has a 900-year history. Nambu ironware resists rust far longer than typical iron, is extremely long-lasting, and provides exceptional heat distribution. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis pot is made of very thick cast iron, which may take some time to come to heat, but keeps the heat evenly distributed over the entire cooking surface.

Wash well with hot water, and heat the pan over a low heat to evaporate remaining water. Use a rag to coat the pan with a very thin layer of cooking oil. Turn the heat up to high and let the oil smoke. As the oil starts to dry, apply another thin layer of oil. Repeat the process 2-3 times until all oil is dried up. Allow the pan to cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIron rusts easily, but seasoning the pan helps to prevent that. Always allow your iron cookware to dry completely.
