Tamago Pan

Established in 1792 in Tokyo’s business district of Nihonbashi, the manufacturer of this pan is a household name in Japan for their cutlery and other kitchen items.

Designed specifically for making tamagoyaki, a classic Japanese rolled omelet, this pan is made of tin-plated copper. Its excellent thermal conductivity ensures that it warms evenly across the pan on low heat, making the perfect tamagoyaki. This pan also works well for general cooking purposes.

Handcrafted with quality of make, durability and longevity in mind, this pan comes in two shapes: square and rectangle. The difference in shape is due to regional preference: Kanto (east) style uses a square pan, whereas Kansai (west) style uses a rectangular pan. Generally, the square shape leads to a wider roll, whereas the rectangular shape allows you to build more layers, making a thicker roll.

On top of copper being antibacterial, it also has excellent thermal conductivity. When left uncoated, copper will naturally oxidize, transforming the surface into a richer-toned patina. Rust may develop as part of the patina which is natural and harmless.

Before first use, wash with water then fill with rice water and bring to a boil for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you may use discarded vegetable scraps and water. After each use, hand wash with warm water and a soft sponge, avoiding any detergent or abrasive materials, and dry well. We do not recommend dishwasher use or any food and liquid to sit in the pan for a long period of time.

With proper care, this pan will last for many years. It is not recommended for deep-frying or stir-frying and cannot be used on induction stoves.
