This pan is designed for traditional tamagoyaki, but I’ve found it useful for much more than that. It heats evenly, releases food easily, and feels well balanced in everyday use. The lid is especially helpful for holding in heat and keeping splatter down, and I like that it stays elevated when you set it aside. Cleanup is easy, and the pan quickly became part of my regular rotation.
One way I use it is for an egg-based dish with optional flatbread. I warm a little butter or rendered fat in the pan, add eggs with sliced salami and sharp cheddar, and finish it covered so everything sets gently. Sometimes I add flatbread underneath, and other times I leave it out for a lower-carb version. It’s just one example, but it shows how versatile this pan can be beyond its traditional use.
