YOSHIKAWA Cook Pal TAI
Titanium pans from Japan
- Cutting-edge technology from Japan - The wok pans from the Cook-Pal TAI collection by YOSHIKAWA are made from high-strength titanium sheet, which is finely blasted to give it an almost silky texture that absorbs the oil well.
- Ultra-lightweight - titanium is around 40% lighter than carbon steel of the same thickness! This is easy on the wrists and makes handling easier.
- Absolutely rustproof & very robust - Titanium is absolutely rustproof, no matter what you fry in it, whether sour or salty, no rust will form. And all this, of course, without any artificial coatings!
- Attention: NOT suitable for induction - Titanium is not magnetic and therefore does not work on induction hobs. We recommend titanium woks primarily for gas hobs.
FAQs
NO, unfortunately titanium is NOT suitable for induction as it is not ferromagnetic and therefore cannot be heated on an induction hob.
If you have an induction hob, we recommend the REN collection from Yoshikawa as an alternative.
Yes, TAI titanium pans are around 40% lighter than carbon steel pans of the same size and material thickness. This makes TAI titanium pans particularly gentle on the wrists. Panning and draining is super easy with TAI titanium woks.
No, the TAI pans made of titanium are completely free of artificial coatings of any kind, i.e.
- no non-stick coating / no PTFE / no PFAS, no ceramic coating, no enamel
- no coatings that could eventually flake or chip off and get into the food
- no potential risk of releasing harmful substances in the event of severe overheating
The slightly silky-matt surface typical of TAI pans is achieved by processing with a fine abrasive.
No, the TAI titanium pans do not need to be baked. However, oil conditioning (aburanarashi) is recommended before the first use in accordance with the instructions. This will subsequently improve the frying result.
No. Titanium is completely rustproof, but spraying it for hours with intensive suds in the dishwasher would destroy the oil conditioning and impair the subsequent frying. In addition, the heat-insulating wooden handle of the TAI pans must never be put in the dishwasher, just like wooden parts in general.
No. The wooden handle means it cannot be used in the oven. If necessary, the handle can be unscrewed; however, it is not designed as a removable handle.
Yes, the body of the TAI wok is made of pure titanium without any nickel additives. This makes TAI titanium woks an alternative to stainless steel woks.
Yes, titanium is absolutely rustproof. The usual acids and salts found in food have absolutely no effect on titanium and do not react with the metal. Titanium is therefore very hygienic and tasteless. Titanium is also absolutely harmless for health reasons and is therefore also used for implants, among other things.
Unlike nickel, allergic reactions to titanium are extremely rare.
The Cook-Pal Tai titanium pans from Yoshikawa are manufactured exclusively and entirely in Japan.
