Yoshikawa Yukihira Nabe

The dimpled texture increases the surface area of the pan, which helps it heat up faster and more evenly. It also creates small air pockets that help prevent food from sticking to the bottom during cooking.

Yes, this Yukihira Nabe is fully compatible with all major cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. Because of the natural wood handle, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it thoroughly to preserve the integrity of the handle and the stainless steel finish.

The dual pour spouts are designed for ambidextrous use, allowing you to pour liquids easily from either side of the pan. This is particularly helpful when draining water or transferring stocks without making a mess.

Yes, the natural wood handle is designed to stay cool to the touch during standard stovetop use. However, you should always ensure the handle is not positioned directly over an open flame to prevent scorching.

This size is perfect for everyday tasks like blanching vegetables, boiling eggs, making miso soup, or preparing small batches of sauce. Its lightweight design makes it much easier to handle than a heavy stockpot for quick, repetitive kitchen tasks.
