{"product_id":"saucepan-yukihira-stainless-steel","title":"Saucepan - Yukihira - Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eyukihira nabe\u003c\/em\u003e (行平鍋) is the everyday saucepan of the Japanese kitchen. It is the pot used for making dashi and miso soup, for simmered dishes (\u003cem\u003enimono\u003c\/em\u003e), blanching vegetables, boiling noodles and reheating - the kind of daily tasks that make up most of what happens on a stove. Its light weight and thin walls mean it heats quickly and responds to changes in temperature, and it is easy to lift and pour from with one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pouring spouts, one on each side, make it practical for right-handed and left-handed cooks, and allow broth or soup to be poured directly into bowls. The natural wood handle stays cool during cooking. The hammered \u003cem\u003etsuchime\u003c\/em\u003e (槌目) surface increases the heating area and helps reduce sticking. An interior graduated scale gives a quick reference for water volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis yukihira is made by Maruyama Giken in Tsubame City, Niigata, a region with a metalworking tradition dating to the 17th century and known today for its steel tools, knives and kitchenware. The pan is formed from 18-8 stainless steel (SUS304) and works on gas, induction (IH) and conventional electric hobs. Not suitable for oven, microwave or steam oven use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo sizes are available:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18cm\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1.8L capacity.
