Product description
The Technique
Preparing tamagoyaki, the omelet rolled in thin, successive layers: pour in a little beaten egg, let it set, roll it toward you using chopsticks, and then repeat the process.
Why it's different
Entirely crafted from copper, a metal chosen for its conductivity: heat is distributed evenly across the entire surface without any hot spots, which prevents the omelet from sticking or browning in patches. The interior features a thin protective layer (tin lining) applied by hand, which should be renewed after several years of intensive use.
Why this pan instead of a classic round pan
The rectangular shape allows for clean edges and a uniform roll from the first move to the last, which a round pan cannot achieve. The wooden handle, riveted to the copper body with no visible screws, is typical of traditional Japanese pans.
Why I chose it
“The tamagoyaki is one of the objects that spoke to me the most in this selection because it perfectly illustrates the idea of a tool designed around a specific movement. Its shape is not a constraint: it is precisely what makes it possible to create a rolled omelet. I chose this copper version because it adds a genuine mastery of materials to that logic. It is an object you buy to cook with, but one that is also a pleasure to look at.”

In practice
Solid copper, tinned interior, riveted wooden handle, approximately 17 × 13 cm. Wash by hand immediately after cooking and dry right away; never use in the dishwasher or oven. Tarnished copper can be revived with a little vinegar and salt.
An object built to last
Copper, when well maintained, lasts for decades; only the interior tin lining needs to be renewed after several years of intensive use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this pan made of copper rather than steel or cast iron?
Copper is chosen for its conductivity: heat spreads evenly across the whole surface with no hot spots, so the omelette does not stick or brown in patches.
Is the dark patina inside a defect?
No. The inside has a thin protective layer (tin lining) that darkens with use: it is the sign of a pan that has been used, not a defect.
How do I make a classic tamagoyaki with this pan?
Pour the beaten egg (mixed with dashi, soy sauce and a little sugar) in 3 or 4 thin successive layers, rolling each one towards you with chopsticks.
