Manufacturing Process

• 

  1. Hammering the bottom: The bottom of the pan is hammered evenly from the center to the sides in a circular motion.

• 

  2. Hammering the sides: Hammer the sides from the outside. The bottom and the sides are welded together so it is important to hammer securely to strengthen the material. The spout is created at the end of this process.

• 

  3. Putting the handle: Add the metal parts for the handle of the pot. Next, insert the wooden handle and attach it with screws to complete the Yukihira pan.
