The square shape of this pan makes it a perfect vessel for cooking a classic “Tamago-yaki” (Japanese egg omelet) or rolled egg dish. The material is tin-plated copper, which has excellent thermal conductivity. This allows each corner of the pan to warm evenly on low heat, achieving a fluffy and delicious egg omelet while maintaining the flavour and nutrition in the ingredients.

There are two shapes of the Tamago frying pan, square and rectangle. The preference of shape seems to come from the two different types of Tamago-yaki; Kanto (East) style and Kansai (west). Kanto style uses a square shape for a voluminous, thick roll. Kansai prefers a rectangle in order to turn the egg easily for adding multiple layers.

Each of these pans is hand-made by craftsmen, and so the appearance will not be as uniform as one that has been made by machine. However, the finished product is thick and durable for high quality and longevity, which can be felt by the weight in your hand. With use, the copper colour will change and darken, adding a beautiful natural patina. Copper also has excellent antibacterial properties. The more you use it, the better it becomes compatible with oil. The copper Tamago frying pan can also perform great simply as a compact frying pan in your kitchen for cooking small vegetables or even delicious pancakes!

Make sure to take good care of this item and it will last for a long time! (please follow the care instructions)
