The large yukihira saucepan is indispensable for anyone cooking authentic Japanese food. This traditional, lightweight cooking pot is made to a design that has been common since the mid-19th century – though some argue they have evolved from a vessel used for cooking over 1000 years ago! The sides of the saucepan are hammered to create dimples in the metal. This increases the surface area of the pan and allows heat to be conducted more quickly and evenly. They also help to prevent food from burning and sticking. Yukihira saucepans are traditionally used to make dashi, miso soup and stewed dishes. With the internal scale that measures from 800ml to 1600ml, and pouring spouts on either side, you’re sure to find many other uses for this versatile saucepan. This stainless-steel yukihira pot is easy to care for, as it is not susceptible to rust or other forms of corrosion. It is also very durable, making this a pan you can enjoy using for years to come.
