Yoshikawa Classic Series | Traditional 18cm Dimpled Yukihira Saucepan
An indispensable icon of the Japanese kitchen, engineered for rapid heat work. Forged in Niigata's legendary Tsubame-Sanjo metalworking hub, this traditional Yukihira Saucepan by Yoshikawa is the ultimate lightweight vessel for whipping up dashi stock, blanching vegetables, boiling noodles, and simmering savory soups. Its signature hand-dimpled (tsuchime) surface is not merely decorative, it increases surface area to accelerate thermal conduction while preventing liquids from easily boiling over. Featuring dual-sided integrated pouring spouts for mess-free transfers and a comfortable, heat-insulated wooden handle, this nimble 1.2-liter pan balances heirloom blacksmithing heritage with modern kitchen functionality.

- Precision Custom Lids: Keep flavors locked in and speed up your boiling times. Find the perfectly fitted companion lid right here.
- Lifetime Spare Handles: Authentic Yukihira pots are built to endure. Should your wooden handle wear down from open gas flames over the years, replace it instantly with our official spare handle available here.
• Gas Stove Thermal Management: When operating over gas burners, do not run on high heat. Keep flames throttled to low or medium settings to ensure the fire does not wrap around the sides, which can scorch the structural metal or damage the wood handle assembly.
• Strict Searing & Frying Prohibition: This thin-walled vessel is strictly engineered for liquid-based operations (simmering, stewing, boiling, poaching). Never use it to sear meats, sauté at high heat, or deep-fry, as dry heating will permanently distort or damage the metal matrix.
• Appliance Boundaries: While perfectly compatible with induction cooking ranges (IH) and gas stoves, this product must never be placed in microwave ovens, baking ovens, or automated dishwashers.
• Manual Care Routine: Wash exclusively by hand using warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge. Dry immediately with a cloth to preserve the natural longevity of the premium wood handle.
