Kind Reminder: Regarding "Initial Use Black Marks" on Stainless Steel Cookware

Dear customer, if you notice the cloth or your hands turning slightly black after wiping the pot, please do not worry. This is a normal and safe phenomenon for stainless steel products, not a quality issue, and is completely harmless to human health.

These black marks mainly come from trace metal powders remaining from the manufacturing and polishing processes, as well as the naturally formed oxidative protective film on the surface of the stainless steel. This oxide film is actually crucial for the cookware's durability and rust resistance; it is a characteristic of the material itself and not dirt, so it cannot be completely removed by washing alone. Even after thorough cleaning, some slight marks may remain, which is normal. Please do not scrub excessively or suspect there is an issue with the cookware itself.

With daily use and exposure to air, this oxide film will naturally repair itself and gradually stabilize, and its color will become more uniform, without affecting the safety or cooking performance of the cookware.

Pre-use Recommendation:
Before the first use, simply wash the inside and outside of the pot with a sponge dipped in neutral detergent, then it's ready for normal cooking. If slight black marks remain after washing, it's normal. Please use with peace of mind, and these marks will naturally improve with increased use.

The Arnest Ittoku-Monotsukuri Stainless Steel Multi-Function Pot is a versatile cookware that combines multiple cooking functions, capable of boiling, blanching, stewing, stir-frying, deep-frying, pan-frying, mixing, storing, and steaming – nine cooking methods in one pot. This greatly reduces the hassle of needing various pots in the kitchen, making it especially suitable for families seeking high-efficiency cooking.

The pot comes with a dedicated drainage steamer basket, which, when used with the pot, allows for easy steaming, draining oil from fried foods, and immediate draining of blanched vegetables, making the cooking process more convenient and time-saving. Both the pot body and the drain rack are made of stainless steel, offering durability and abrasion resistance. They can also be used with metal spatulas or ladles, simplifying daily maintenance.

✦ Why is this multi-functional pot worth noting?

A typical home kitchen often requires multiple pots to handle various cooking methods like steaming, boiling, frying, and stir-frying, taking up significant storage space. The key design of Arnest Ittoku-Monotsukuri's multi-functional pot is to integrate common cooking steps such as boiling, steaming, frying, and blanching into a single piece of cookware, streamlining kitchen storage and making the cooking process more direct and convenient.

✦ 9-in-1 pot, simplifying daily cooking

The pot can be used for nine cooking methods: boiling, blanching, stewing, stir-frying, deep-frying, pan-frying, mixing, short-term storage, and steaming. It is suitable for daily meals and various culinary needs. Whether it's simple home cooking or dishes requiring multiple steps, most processes can be completed in the same pot, reducing the need to switch and clean multiple pieces of cookware.

✦ Comes with a drainage steamer basket, making steaming, frying, and blanching more convenient

The pot comes with a dedicated drainage steamer basket, which can be used for the following:

• Steaming: Add water to the bottom of the pot, then place the drainage rack in to easily steam dishes.
• Deep-frying: After frying, lift the food directly with the drainage rack to drain oil, reducing uneven frying.
• Blanching vegetables: After blanching, drain the vegetables directly with the rack, eliminating the need for a separate colander, saving time and effort.

✦ Stainless steel material, durable and easy to maintain

Both the pot body and the drainage rack are made of stainless steel, making them durable and corrosion-resistant. They can also be used with metal spatulas, ladles, and other kitchen utensils without easily scratching. Both the pot and the drainage rack are dishwasher safe, making daily maintenance easier and more convenient.

✦ Downward-facing handle design, saving storage space

The pot handle is designed to face downwards, saving space whether stored in the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets. It won't take up extra space due to a protruding handle, improving daily storage efficiency.

✦ Glass lid, cooking status at a glance

The pot comes with a glass lid, making it easy to observe the heat and doneness during cooking without frequently opening the lid. This helps retain the food's temperature and moisture. The recessed part of the lid handle can also temporarily hold chopsticks, making it more thoughtful and convenient to use.

✦ Made in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, Japan, guaranteed craftsmanship

Both the pot and the drainage rack are manufactured in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, a renowned metal processing region with recognized craftsmanship (the glass lid is made in China). For users who value cookware quality and origin, this is a compelling selling point.
