Designed specifically for making oyakodon (a rice bowl topped with chicken and onions sautéed in egg and sweet sauce), this traditional Japanese pan makes it easy to cook and serve directly over a bowl of rice. Its vertical handle saves space on the stovetop while giving you precision and control for perfect simmered dishes.

Made in Japan

Please note: The matching lid for this pan is sold separately to help cook your oyakodon evenly and keep it moist. Using the lid can help the flavors infuse and the egg set perfectly on top of the chicken.

Details & Care
  • Dimensions: 16cm (6.2") in diameter
  • Materials: Stainless steel pan with natural wood handle
  • Compatible with any type of stove, including induction.

Care Instructions:

  • Not dishwasher-safe. After cooking, transfer food out and wash the pan by hand with mild soap and a soft sponge.
  • Avoid soaking the wooden handle; instead, wipe it with a damp cloth if needed.
  • Dry the pan thoroughly to prevent any spots or minor rust (stainless steel is rust-resistant, but it’s good practice to keep it dry).

Usage Warnings:

  • Do not use this pan for high-heat frying or stir-frying – it’s designed for simmering. Extremely high heat can cause discoloration or warping.
  • Use medium heat for best results, especially on induction.
  • Also, because of the shallow design, avoid overfilling (no more than 2/3 full) to prevent boil-overs.
Our Favorite Things
  • Designed for Oyakodon: This pan’s unique vertical wooden handle is not just for show – it lets you effortlessly slide your simmered chicken-and-egg mixture straight over a bowl of rice. It’s the traditional tool for making oyakodon (“parent-and-child” chicken & egg rice bowl) and other donburi dishes.
  • Space-saving shape: The upright handle means you can have multiple pans on a stove without handles colliding – perfect for busy kitchens or small stoves. It also unscrews for compact storage when not in use.
  • Stovetop versatility: Made of quality stainless steel, the Oyako Nabe pan works on all stovetops, including induction. So whether you have gas or an IH cooker, you can achieve an even simmer for your sauce and eggs.
  • Multi-use beyond oyakodon: While ideal for its namesake dish, this pan is also handy for other small simmered dishes. Its size and high sides make it quite versatile for everyday cooking.
