Takumi Japan Carbon Steel Induction Deep Frying Pot - 24cm

This Takumi deep frying pot is built for tempura, karaage, and other deep-fried dishes: the deep, rounded body keeps food fully submerged for even, crispy results, and a semi-circular wire rack rests on the rim so freshly fried pieces drain back into the pot.

The body is bare 1.8mm iron with Takumi's textured 'Magma Plate' surface — not nitrided, so it seasons deeply with traditional care and needs thorough drying on the heat after every wash. Two sturdy loop handles and a pouring spout make handling and emptying hot oil safer.

Key Features

• Designed for Deep Frying: The deep, rounded body holds a generous amount of oil for even, crispy cooking.
• Includes Draining Rack: A semi-circular wire rack rests on the pot's rim so excess oil drips back into the pot.
• Magma Plate Carbon Steel: Made from 98.8% high-purity iron, the textured surface aids heat conduction and helps seasoning oil adhere.
• Traditional, Non-Nitrided Steel: Pure carbon steel without nitriding, which seasons deeply with traditional care.
• Induction Compatible: The stable, flat base suits all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric.

Seasoning & Care

Season it before first use — the carbon steel user guide walks through the steps — and dry it promptly after every wash.

The difference on the Takumi, a non-nitrided carbon steel: a hard scrub can lift a patch of the seasoning — black flakes, bare metal underneath. On a nitrided pan this never happens; here it is normal and re-seasons in minutes — what to expect from the surface covers it.

About Takumi Japan

Takumi Japan works in heat-treated 'Magma Plate' iron rather than nitrided steel. The textured surface is formed during heat treatment rather than applied afterwards, which is why it holds seasoning well and why the pans sit below nitrided equivalents on price.
