Yoshikawa Donburi Series | Traditional 16cm Stainless Steel Oyakodon Pan with Lid

Master the seamless art of the perfect Japanese rice bowl comfort meal. Crafted by Yoshikawa in Niigata's legendary Tsubame-Sanjo metalworking hub, this specialized Oyakodon Pan (Oyako Nabe) is custom-engineered specifically for cooking classic Japanese donburi toppings like Oyakodon (savory chicken and egg) and Katsudon (pork cutlet and egg). Featuring a distinctive vertical wooden handle design, it allows you to easily simmer ingredients in a sweet dashi-soy broth and effortlessly slide the pillowy, soft-cooked omelet perfectly intact directly over a hot bowl of rice. Forged from high-grade, durable stainless steel and paired with its matching protective lid, this authentic 16cm pan ensures optimal steam retention and rapid heating, making restaurant-quality home cooking incredibly straightforward.

• Ergonomic Vertical Handle: Specifically angled upwards to stay completely clear of adjacent stovetop burners, giving you maximum leverage to shake the pan smoothly and slide the eggs right out onto a rice bowl without tearing the surface.
• Included Precision Lid: The form-fitting stainless steel lid traps ambient steam to cook the tops of eggs quickly while maintaining a velvety, half-set (jukujuku) restaurant-style texture underneath.
• High-Conductivity Stainless Steel: Engineered with a thin-walled, high-purity profile that responds instantaneously to heat adjustments, avoiding the residual overcooking that hardens delicate egg proteins.
• Perfect Donburi Sizing: Spanning exactly 16 cm, the pan's circumference matches traditional Japanese rice bowls, ensuring the cooked egg and meat topping drapes beautifully over the rice without spilling over the edges.

• Manual Sanitation Protocol: To preserve the integrity of the natural wood handle and keep the stainless steel gleaming, never wash this pan or lid in an automated dishwasher. Clean by hand using warm water, mild liquid dish soap, and a soft, non-abrasive sponge.
• Strict Appliance Boundaries: This traditional specialty vessel is intended exclusively for stovetop operations. Do not place the pan or lid inside microwave ovens, conventional baking ovens, toaster broilers, or food warming drawers.
• Immediate Drying Habits: To prevent hard water spots and guard the wooden screw assembly, dry the pan completely with a clean kitchen towel right after washing. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated cabinet space.
• Proper Usage Limit: This pan is meticulously balanced for liquid-based dashi simmering and delicate egg setting. Do not utilize it for dry high-heat searing, deep frying, or sautéing without liquids, as dry heat can warp the thin stainless steel chassis.
