Vermicular

Nagoya, Japan

Over 80 years ago, the Hijikata family first gained fame throughout Japan for their cast iron expertise. Fast forward to the 20th century, and two brothers who inherited the family business decided to use that know-how to create cookware like none other. Vermicular was born, and now their cast-iron induction cooker is a centerpiece in kitchens all over. (After giving it a try, we can see why.)

Exellent pan lid

Like the product very much. Appearance is outstanding i have never imagined that the lid can be in vertical position. But, to my surprise and satisfaction, it can hold the vertical position as well as it is sturdy and a perfect match to my pan which i bought some time ago and which was sold without the lid. Looking into buying a Vermicular Japanes...Read More

Perfect product

Love this lid and the fact it holds itself up and I dont have to use up counter space (Which I have very little of) to set the lid off to the side of the pan.

great product

this is now my "go to" pan for everything from filet mignon to blistered green beans. it is amazingly light, versatile, and durable. cleans up well. I don't know why I put it back in the drawer every night--I should just leave it out on the range!

I love the wooden handle

I love the wooden handle and my husband wants to only use cast iron so I wanted to give this pan a try. The selling points for me were lightweight and the handle.

Not Your Mother's Cast Iron Pan

While this pan is pretty, I would not have purchased it if I hadn't used it at a friend's home. I have many years of cast iron and carbon steel cooking experience and felt I had all the pans I needed.

Yet this pan is a bit magical. So light, so well balanced, so versatile, so easy to clean, I felt I had to have it. It's been a great addi...Read More

tion to my collection and I find myself reaching for it first. The one trade-off is the lack of oven use due to the wooden handle. For this reason, it can't be the only cast iron you own, but it will become a favorite. Read Less

Disappointed

The pan is probably a wonderful thing for a real foodie to have, but calling it lightweight .. maybe not. It looks like a brilliant addition to a serious cooks kitchen but I have arthritis in my hands and found it quite heavy to lift -- so I've had to return it.
