Nakao Aluminum Seisakusho Iron Frying Pan

Professional Japanese kitchenware straight from the culinary frontlines is now ready for your home stove. Nakao Aluminum Works has supplied professional chefs in Japan with high quality cookware for over half a century, and their signature aluminum frypans bring that same efficiency to everyday cooking. Designed with extra depth, these versatile pans handle stir-frying, simmering, and tossing pasta sauces with ease. As you cook with them over the years, they develop a rich character that makes them feel like true heirlooms in the making.

You can select from three distinct versions to suit your cooking style: the polished Aluminum Frypan for incredible heat conductivity and lightweight handling, the non-stick fluororesin-coated Silk Frypan for effortless cleanup, or the Silk Frypan Stainless Handle Type, featuring a handle designed to stay cooler on the stove. Each style comes in three practical sizes. The compact 21cm pan is ideal for single portions and quick bento side dishes, the 24cm size serves as the perfect daily driver for two, and the generous 27cm pan easily cooks up big batches of gyoza or yakisoba for a family of four.

Matching aluminum lids, sold separately, have the kind of practical knob and gently curved profile you'd expect to see in a restaurant kitchen. They carry a quiet presence of their own, the kind that makes you want to hang one on the kitchen wall even when the frypan is put away, and they only grow more handsome as they pick up character with use.
