Simple and elegant, the Nambu Tekki Deep Pan by Sori Yanagi is crafted from traditional Japanese cast iron, known for its durability and superior heat distribution. This extra-thick pan radiates and retains heat evenly, making it ideal for stews, soups, and large cuts of meat. Its design allows it to transition beautifully from stovetop to table for serving. The included removable handle securely grasps the lid for easy removal during cooking. This pan, like many of Yanagi's designs, received the prestigious Good Design Award in 2002.
