This Wazaippin frying pan is made in Japan using gravity die casting, in which molten aluminum alloy is poured into a mold using only its own weight. Skilled craftspeople finish each pan by hand, giving the cast aluminum body resistance to warping and durability, with a thick base that helps reduce uneven heat.
The body's natural crystalline structure retains heat well, so it spreads evenly across the pan's consistent 2.7 mm (0.1 in) wall thickness, helping lock in the flavor of pan-fried and grilled dishes. The rim is made thicker to resist warping, while the sides are kept thin to reduce overall weight.
This is the 24 cm (9.4 in) frying pan in the Wazaippin series.
