Kokotama Iron Egg Pan

Oigen Foundry Ltd.

• Introduction

  I am a Kokotama Iron Egg Pan. Built for tamagoyaki, but I end up handling much more.

   

• Curator's Notes 

  At first it feels very specific, a pan meant for tamagoyaki and little else. The square shape is designed for rolling eggs into that layered form, but once you start using it, it quickly becomes something you reach for more often for all kinds of cooking, even just your standard scrambled eggs. In cast iron, the size makes a difference and this pan has the heat retention you want, but without the weight that usually comes with it.

  We end up using it like a small everyday pan. Eggs, of course, but also quick vegetables, breakfast sausage, or anything that doesn’t need a full skillet. It’s compact, easy to handle, and the shape keeps everything contained in a way round pans sometimes don't.
