Key Features

• Embossed Tsuchime Pattern: The unique hammered (tsuchime) pattern helps to conduct heat effectively and reduces the chance of boiling over.
• Dual Pouring Rims: Features pouring spouts on both sides for easy, drip-free pouring for both right and left-handed users.
• Internal Volume Markers: Clearly marked measurements (500, 750, 1000, 1200ml) inside the pan allow for accurate measuring without extra cups.
• Perfectly Paired Strainer: The 18cm strainer fits comfortably inside the 18cm pan, making it ideal for boiling noodles or blanching vegetables.

Note on Lid Fit

Please be aware that when the strainer is placed inside the saucepan, the handles of the strainer may prevent the lid from sitting perfectly flush on top. This is a normal part of the design and does not affect performance.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash only. Do not use in the dishwasher, as harsh detergents can damage the wooden handle.
• Handle Maintenance: The natural wood handle is attached with a screw. It is normal for the wood near the pan to darken slightly from heat. Please check the screw periodically and tighten it if it becomes loose.
• Cleaning: Use a soft sponge and mild detergent. To remove rainbow discolouration (a normal reaction of stainless steel), clean with vinegar or citric acid.
