Sori Yanagi Design | Premium Matte Finish Stainless Steel Saucepan with Lid
Bring an icon of mid-century Japanese functional minimalism into your daily kitchen routine. Celebrated with the prestigious **Good Design Award**, this masterpiece by legendary designer Sori Yanagi seamlessly blends beautiful organic form with clever, practical engineering. Crafted from durable 18-8 stainless steel, its distinctive, slightly asymmetric silhouette creates a double pouring spout that allows you to easily pour liquids from either side without messy drips. By simply twisting the beautifully weighted stainless steel lid, you can adjust the opening to release steam safely or drain water smoothly without losing small food ingredients. Complete with an ergonomic, stay-cool Bakelite handle, this sophisticated essential provides exceptional thermal balance across all traditional gas and electric ranges.

- Innovative Double Spout Profile: The specialized wider flared rim forms mirroring left- and right-handed spouts, letting you pour broth, reductions, or stews flawlessly from any angle.
- Rotational Steam Lid Engineering: Designed to fit perfectly over the asymmetric spouts. Turn the lid fully closed to lock in moisture for gentle steaming, or rotate it slightly to uncover a gap for neat, splash-free liquid straining.
- Ergonomic Stay-Cool Bakelite Grip: The heavy-duty handle is sculpted to follow the natural contour of your hand, providing comfortable weight balance while blocking thermal heat transfer from the burner.
- Strainer Integration (18cm Model): The 18cm saucepan is custom-profiled to nest perfectly underneath Sori Yanagi's official 19cm stainless steel punching strainer for an optimized boiling and straining ecosystem.
• Washing Instructions: Hand wash only recommended. To safeguard the elegant, satin-matte look of the 18-8 steel core, avoid machine dishwashers. Wash gently using warm water, standard mild dish soap, and a soft nylon sponge. Avoid abrasive wire scourers or heavy scouring powders.
• Stovetop Management: Optimized for classic gas burner frames and radiant electric coil cooktops. This 1.0mm thickness steel core layout is not compatible with induction heating (IH) ranges.
• Appliance Boundaries: Because of the thermal-insulated synthetic Bakelite handle and matching lid knob structures, this saucepan must never be placed inside conventional baking ovens, microwave units, or under commercial broilers.
