Yoshikawa Cook-Pal Ren Nitrided Carbon Steel Fry Pan 24cm with Yukihira Lid
Yoshikawa's Cook-Pal Ren 24cm fry pan is an everyday-size carbon steel pan, forged and nitrided in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata. The nitriding process hardens the cooking surface against rust and wear well beyond what untreated steel can manage, without sacrificing carbon steel's fast, responsive heating. Regular use builds a natural seasoning as the microporous surface absorbs oil — a patina that keeps improving rather than flaking off, unlike a synthetic non-stick coating. It's a strong fit for searing, stir-frying, and sautéing that calls for real heat. The included Yukihira stainless lid fits both 22cm and 24cm pans, so it's useful well beyond this pan alone. The wooden knob stays cool during cooking, and a hanging loop makes storage simple. At 24cm, this is a genuine everyday size — equally at home cooking a couple of eggs or a full stir-fry for the table.
