YOSHIKAWA Yukihira
Stainless steel saucepans from Japan
It has been an indispensable ingredient in traditional Japanese cuisine for more than 1,000 years : the Yukihira casserole.
The modern interpretation of this classic from Yoshikawa is forged from high-strength stainless steel and has an attractive honeycomb look .
The Yukihira is easy to use and ideal for preparing miso soup, or for preparing the Japanese broth that is essential for many Japanese dishes.
No, the YUKIHIRA saucepans are made of stainless steel and are completely free of any kind of artificial coating.
No, because the Yukihira's heat-insulating wooden handle would swell in the dishwasher, the wood would leach out and eventually crack.
No. The wooden handle makes it impossible to use in the oven. The wood would dry out in the oven and crack.
Yes, absolutely. Yoshikawa's Yukihira saucepans are made of induction-compatible stainless steel and therefore work perfectly on induction cooktops. However, please note that overheating can occur very quickly, especially on induction cooktops, if you're not careful. Never heat the Yukihira from empty. The power/booster setting on the induction cooktop should only be used if there is plenty of water in the Yukihira, which can absorb and dissipate the heat from the base. Otherwise, in extreme cases, this could lead to permanent warping of the pan's base.
The Yukihira casserole dishes from Yoshikawa are exclusively and entirely made in Japan.
Yes, Yoshikawa offers practical and durable stainless steel lids for its Yukihira casserole dishes. The lids are designed to always cover two adjacent sizes. This means you need fewer lids and save space in your kitchen cupboard.
