Iwatani – Gas hob TATSUJIN Slim III CB-SS-50

This is an awesome bit of kit. Was skeptical at first given the cost, but the amount of heat it puts out is astonishing. I especially like the warming strip that runs back to the gas cannister connector that ensures a constant, consistent flow. Easy to use, and easy to clean, I use it for all my Korean and Japanese food.

Okay, this was quite expensive for me, but pretty much the cheapest Iwatani stove I could find. 3x more expensive than the regular low priced camping brands. Having used it, I'm wondering if I should of gone a higher budget. I cannot fault the appliance. The BTU - heat output is considerably higher than the general cheap stoves. Also, this stove has a plate that comes from the gas ring to cradle the gas cannister, helping transfer heat to keep from freezing up on gas consumption. Utilizing the full capacity of the can's gas without the need to change out after minutes. The magnetic lock in is fantastic!! Yes, the O+M is in Japanese. But if you can't work out how to use a magnet and quarter turn dial to ignite without instructions? You really shouldn't be playing with pressurised containers. All in all, I'm very happy with this light bit of kit, Thank you Iwatani :)

A bit pricey but better quality than the cheaper ones and a cleaner flame.

I wanted to do my own Chinese hotpot at home. Checked out some standard gas camping stoves but they looked bulky and not the best to look at when you have friends round for hotpot. The induction types did look a lot better but was not keen on have a cable trailing across the room. I eventually found this model and it looked like just what I wanted. The gas stove is very slim and looks good sitting in the middle of the table. It kept the hotpot at nice gentle simmer with no issues. Easy to use and load gas cannisters as easy as any other camping stove. Yes, it is more expensive than your average portable gas stove, but for that classier look I would say its worth it if you do hot pot regularly.

Its not all 5 stars though. The box arrived packaged in an Amazon box and the supplier box (Iwatani) was in perfect condition, no visible damage and looked like it had not been opened before. Inside everything looked to be good as well until I looked closely, then I noticed a few things were slightly bent, so it must have been dropped, and quite hard at that. The front screw was at an angle and the gas cover did not align with the stove, and the rear part of the gas chamber was also bent, nothing bad, but noticeable. I removed the screws and straightened the bent parts and refitted the cover which I also had to slightly bend to get the gaps perfect, there was hardly anything in it but now it is better. The gas canister connected easily and the stove lit and operated perfectly. I then noticed that it did not sit level. The foot nearest the gas valve was pushed in from underneath a couple of mm and this caused the stove to sit on three feet, so a bit more fettling was required to bring this foot back out and get the stove perfectly level. It looks like the box must have been dropped from height straight down and it landed flat, the only part with any weight (The valve) is where all the bending occurred to the bottom of the stove. So this was the only gripe, now it is all nice and straight and gaps are all sorted, the stove works very well indeed, it really chucks out some heat so will have to watch I dont burn anything. But it is also very adjustable. Really pleased with this.

I was in the search for a new stove grill in the market as my last one broke down far to easily. I saw this and Oh boy did I hit the jackpot. This Grill is easily one of the best in the market that you can find, the thing is not only classy looking when laid into a space in your kitchen but it's an absolute machine. The flame is powerful and cooks all my meals to perfection, this thing has even replaced my normal cooker! I cannot recommend this thing anymore if you are in need of a stove grill. Simply superb.

This is great, looks fantastic, if a little 'tinny'. Lighter than I thought it would be. Came with no safety lock which was described on the box, but easy to use without it.

I wanted a small gas stove just in case. But I wanted a decent one. This though expensive , is a very well made Japanese cooker that works very well. Good value in my opinion 👍

My husband purchased this and we used it outdoors for the first use to fry eggplant so the house would not smell from frying. It worked amazing and so easy to clean up. We will be using this often and it’s great for any power outage- we will still be eating well.

Epatant ! la poele à takoyaki se positionne parfaitement dessus et la cuisson des petits beignets est parfaitement régulière et homigène. Je suis trsè contente.

... da tutti i punti di vista. E non c'è altro da aggiungere.

Tres bon achat..pour l'intérieur et extérieur c'est le top
