Know before you buy
Yes, the pan comes triple-seasoned from the factory, so you can start cooking your first tamagoyaki immediately without additional preparation.
The pan develops its natural nonstick properties through regular use and proper seasoning. Avoid using soap, hand wash it with warm water, and apply a light coat of oil after drying to keep the surface conditioned.
Yes, the pan is fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops. Its 5 mm thick, concave-milled base ensures excellent heat distribution across all heat sources.
The walnut handle is designed to stay cool to the touch while you are working at the stove. Because it is wood, you should never place the pan in the oven or the dishwasher, as high heat and moisture can damage the handle.
While its rectangular shape is specifically optimized for rolling tamagoyaki, it works well for searing small portions of meat, vegetables, or even individual-sized pancakes.
Clean the pan by hand using warm water and a brush or sponge. Do not put it in the dishwasher, as this will strip the seasoning and potentially damage the walnut handle.
