Tamago Pan

The manufacturer of these Tamago pans have been household names in Japan since 1792, and were made famous for their cutlery and other kitchen items. Handcrafted with quality, durability and longevity in mind, they are designed for cooking tamagoyaki, a classic Japanese rolled omelet. The tin-plated copper is anti-bacterial and makes for excellent thermo conduction, meaning the pan warms evenly at a low temperature for the perfect tamagoyaki.

Item details: The pans come in two shapes, a square and a rectangle depending on a regional preference. In the Kanto (east) style, the square pan is used, whereas in the Kansai (west) style, the rectangular pan is preferred. Generally, the square shape leads to a wider roll, whereas the rectangular shape allows you to build more layers, making a thicker roll.

Measurements:

Square: L 12.5" x W 6" x H 1.25"

Small: L 14" x W 5" x H 1.25"

Large: L 14.5" x W 5.5" x H 1.25"

Care Instructions: 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. It is not recommended for deep-frying or stir-frying and cannot be used on induction stoves. When left uncoated copper will naturally oxidize, transforming the surface into a richer- toned patina. Rust may develop as part of this patina, which is natural and harmless. Regular care will maintain the pan for many years to come, and the tamagoyaki are worth it.
