Key Features

• You may notice forging marks or surface discoloration, which are normal and do not affect the spatula's quality or safety.

Use & Care

• Yamada products are finished with a protective coating to prevent rust during shipment and storage. This layer needs to be removed by heating it until it burns off completely, revealing the raw metal beneath. Please ensure they are properly seasoned before using the item for the first time.
• After each use, clean the item using only lukewarm water, avoiding any soap or detergent.
• Store in a dry place, away from moisture and humidity.
• To prevent rust, lightly apply oil on the surface before storing.
• Please avoid leaving the wooden handle submerged in water for a long time.
