Ogasawara's cast-iron pan is a versatile kitchen companion that truly comes into its own with fish. Cast iron is simply hard to beat as a material: it heats slowly but evenly, cooking ingredients through at just the right pace before the surface has a chance to burn. This is a pan that handles whatever you put in it. The iron fish pan is equally at home with fish, meat, vegetables, or soups, and features a lid, too.
The iron pan was designed by Rikucho Ogasawara, who spent his entire career in Iwate Prefecture – home to a centuries-old tradition of Japanese cast iron craft known as Nambu Tekki, one of Japan's officially certified artisanal traditions. Treated well, the pan won't wear out with use. It will only get better until it becomes the next generation's favourite pan, too.
