Iwachu Iron Tamagoyaki Omelette Pan, Black

Far better than the imitations you will find on Amazon. Made in japan, great quality, enough said! I don’t understand people who say it should be bigger? It’s the perfect size for making homemade Japanese omelette.

although pricey as compared to other tamagoyaki pans, this Iwachu iron square pan is totally worth it's premium cost. The pan is made in Japan and of cast iron and comes with a pretty durable pre-seasoning applied to it. Although the surface is rougher than vintage machined cast iron, it isn't as rough as many non-machined cast iron pans of today. The coating hasn't been scratched or buffed off so far with the judicious use of household green scrubbing pads or with those stainless steel chainmail type scrubbers, too. With just a small coating of oil / butter, I've not had much issue with eggs (or anything else cooked in it) sticking to the pan at all. The wooden handle keeps cool and is removable if you want to put it into the oven for seasoning. The pan is sized to easily handle from 1-3 eggs: if you're doing more than that quantity, do them in batches. I've also used this pan not only for making tamagoyaki, but also things like burgers and burritos too as it's sized just right to make individual serving. It's also good if you want to make bento lunches for yourself: cook your tamagoyaki first and put it on the side, then cook whatever else is going into the bento - you can do an entire bento just using the 1 pan.For those of you not familiar with using cast iron, here are a few suggestions:1. Adjust your cooking method and heat control, especially if you want your eggs to come out that nice yellowy color vs browned. Pre-heating it for about 5 - 10 minutes on a temperature that is lower than you would normally use with other pans.2. It's pre-seasoning is built-up very well and seems to be pretty tough too, but don't put this into the dish washer. It's recommended to hand wash this pan (and any other cast iron cookware) and hand dry it too.3. Once hand dried, put it back on the stove on medium high heat to completely dry it out. Since it's hot now, it's a good time to do a maintenance seasoning coat by applying a very light coat of oil with a paper towel to the pan. Continue heating on medium high until you start seeing wisps of smoke coming from the oil coating - once this happens, your seasoning is formed and you can turn off your stove and leave the pan to cool.4. For glasstop stove owners, be careful that the pan may not sit super flat on your heating element. I got lucky with mine, it has only a slight torque that causes it to wobble slightly, but not enough so to the detriment of its use. For gas or coil electric users, there shouldn't be any issues (not sure about induction cooktops, however).Overall this is a great small pan and have loved using it and to me, it has been totally worth the money!

Excellent pan.I thought the cast iron might be a little too thin but it’s perfect, still very light and cooks evenly and fast.There must be a coating because it’s definitely a non stick, you can notice the coating better with a little water in the pan after washing.Either way this is a fun pan to cook with, very enjoyable and well worth the money🍳😁.Side note: You may want to purchase a silicone Tamagoyaki Spatula too, not necessarily but easier, it’ll fit the pan and if you don’t use chopsticks very often it’ll help.

Exactly like the pan I used in Japan at a cooking class. Very happy and can’t wait to use

El sarten desde que lo recibi y lo vi me di cuenta que no era lo que necesitaba. Muy muy pequeño. Si fue mi error no fijarme en las medidas especificadas en la pagina. Y por eso pague $230 pesos del costo de envio de devolucion mas $170 del envio original.Y ahora el vendefor me esta cobrando nuevamente $170 pesos del envio original.Sabiendo que esta haciendo un cobro doble y ya le habia dicho yo, que seria un cobro doble. Pero le valio y lo cobro.Por lo tanto tengan mucho cuidado si hacen negocios con esta persona o negocio. Sin unos aprovechados por no decirles de otra forma.Espero Amazon tome cartas en el asunto y solucione este problema, y de alguna forma sancione al vendedor por tranza. Ya que estas no son las politicas de Amazon y gente como esta hace que Amazon se vea mal, causando daño a la imagen.En realidad no son los $170 pesos es el hecho y actitud del vendedor de ser un tranza

Very happy with my purchase, arrived quicker than expected. Quality product.
