Key Features

• This is an induction Yukihira saucepan that is good for professional use. It has excellent durability and heat conductivity, so the heat conducts evenly to the entire pan.
• The pan has double spouts for ambidextrous use.

Use & Care

• Compatible with induction heating (IH).
• Aluminum is vulnerable to strong acidity or alkaline and likely to discolor. This can be prevented if you boil the water that was used to wash rice or water with vegetable scraps in it before first use.
• In case it discolors, boil water with a tablespoon of vinegar or citric acid, or sliced lemon, and let it cool down spontaneously overnight. This can relieve stains or discoloration. Doing this periodically will make long-term maintenance easier.
• After use, wash it gently with a neutral detergent and sponge. Avoid using scourer or anything to possibly damage the surface, which will lead to discoloration or rust.
