My family home often hosted large groups of guests. We especially enjoyed hot pot, but we also served sukiyaki, and we had authentic iron sukiyaki pots. I have two sukiyaki pots, and this is one of them. It's quite heavy. I'm selling this for those who want to make authentic sukiyaki. It has been used, so there are some burnt areas, but please understand this before purchasing. Durable cast iron black cooking pan with double handles.
