Makiyakinabe
Makiyakinabe ( Japanese 巻 き 焼 き 鍋 , literally: "roll frying pan") is a square or rectangular frying pan that is used to make Japanese omelets ( tamagoyaki ). It is also known as Tamagoyakiki ( 玉 子 焼 き 器 , literally: "Tool for frying omelettes").
In Japanese cuisine , rolled pancakes are fried as thin, square omelettes and then shaped into a cylindrical shape with Japanese chopsticks. In order to produce a roll with a uniform thickness, the thin crêpe-like dough pieces should have an angular shape. Therefore a square or rectangular pan is used.
Dimensions
The pans are usually 10 x 35 cm in size, and are e.g. B. made of aluminum or cast iron. Tinned copper is considered the best material . However, care must be taken during preparation, otherwise the pan can be damaged by the low melting point of the pewter. A cheaper, Teflon-coated pan is also common in Japan. The depth of the pan is usually 3–4 cm and its weight 0.5–2.5 kg.
There are three different Makiyakinabe types: Kantō type, Kansai type and Nagoya type. The Kantō-type pans are square, the Kansai-type are long, narrow, and the Nagoya-type are short, wide rectangles.
