These hammered patterned saucepans are well-loved in Japan for making Ichiban noodles, but they're also great for simmering, quickly boiling liquids, and making miso soup. They have a thin bottom, so be careful to avoid scorching. If you need to quickly boil water, soup or broth, this is the pan for you! The handles can easily be tightened or adjusted with the attached screw, and replacement handles are also available.
