304 Stainless Steel Hammered Yukihira Pan with Steamer Basket

CharmsCook manufactures hammered-finish Yukihira saucepans in 304 stainless steel (18/8), paired with a fitted steamer basket and a beechwood-handled glass lid — available in 18 cm and 20 cm diameters for wholesale and OEM orders from global buyers.

Product Specifications

This Yukihira pan ships with a removable steamer basket, a transparent glass lid with beechwood knob and handle, making it a dual-function saucepan-and-steamer in one unit.

Material & Construction

304 stainless steel (18/8 composition: ≥18% chromium, ≥8% nickel) is the industry standard for food-contact cookware: it is corrosion-resistant, non-reactive with acidic foods, and free from coatings or PTFE.

Body and inner vessel are formed from 304 SS sheet, stamped and deep-drawn to shape. The exterior carries a traditional Japanese hammered (tsuchime) texture applied mechanically — this pattern increases the effective surface area for more even heat distribution and reduces condensation drip on the vessel wall.

Lid assembly uses a borosilicate-style tempered glass panel paired with a beechwood knob and a beechwood side handle. Beechwood (Fagus sylvatica) is a standard material for cookware accessories in the European market: it is dense-grained, low in moisture absorption, and food-safe under normal cooking temperatures.

Steamer basket is fitted to the pan diameter and fabricated from the same 304 SS stock, with a perforated base for steam circulation. No welds are exposed to food contact surfaces.

The natural satin finish is free from surface coatings. All stainless steel components are compatible with dishwashers, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the hammered texture.

FAQ

Q: What stainless steel grade is used in this Yukihira pan?
A: The pan body and steamer basket are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, also designated 18/8 (≥18% chromium, ≥8% nickel). This grade is food-safe, non-reactive with acidic ingredients, and meets FDA and LFGB food-contact requirements.

Q: What does the hammered finish do, and is it purely decorative?
A: The hammered (tsuchime) texture is applied mechanically. It increases the exterior surface area, which improves radiant heat distribution. It also reduces the appearance of minor surface marks during use. The finish is not purely decorative — it is a functional characteristic of the traditional Yukihira form.

Q: Is this pan compatible with induction cooktops?
A: 304 stainless steel (18/8) contains nickel, which reduces its magnetic permeability. Standard 304 SS is generally not induction-compatible. Buyers requiring induction compatibility should contact CharmsCook to discuss a 430-SS base or tri-ply base option.

Q: What is the MOQ for wholesale and OEM orders?
A: MOQ varies by specification and customization level. Contact the CharmsCook sales team via the RFQ form for a specific quantity quote.

Q: What customization is available for the lid and handle?
A: The standard lid uses a beechwood knob and beechwood side handle. Alternative materials (walnut, bamboo, silicone) are available for OEM orders. Logo engraving on the knob is supported. Lid diameter is matched to the pan and can be adjusted for custom sizes.

Q: What certifications does CharmsCook provide?
A: CharmsCook provides FDA compliance documentation and LFGB test reports. SGS or Bureau Veritas third-party test reports are available on request at an additional charge.

Q: Can a sample be ordered before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes. Standard-spec samples are available within 7–10 business days. Custom-spec samples (adjusted size, logo, or surface finish) require 10–15 business days. Contact the sales team for sample pricing and shipping terms.

Q: What packaging options are available?
A: Options include white/brown export carton (bulk), retail colour box, and full private-label gift box with buyer’s artwork. Inner packaging (foam insert, paper sleeve) can be customised per SKU.
