This nitrided iron tamagoyaki pan measures 14 x 19 cm (5.5 x 7.5 in) and is sized for cooking Japanese rolled omelettes. The iron surface is nitrided, a process that combines nitrogen with the iron to increase hardness and rust resistance, and the handle is natural keyaki (zelkova) wood.
Iron heats quickly and evenly, helping the layers of a rolled omelette cook through without scorching. There is no need to season the pan or fire it empty before first use, so it is ready to cook with right away, and metal spatulas and turners can be used on the surface. After cooking, the pan can be scrubbed firmly with a scouring pad or bamboo brush.
To keep the pan in good condition, wash it with hot water while it is still warm, dry it over medium heat to remove moisture, then wipe a thin layer of oil into the inside with a paper towel. A booklet explaining how to care for nitrided iron cookware is included, and the pan can be used on induction (IH) cooktops.
