Different makiyakinabe for sale: left: Kansai-type, right: Kantō-type

Makiyakinabe (Template:Lang-ja; まきやきなべ, literally: roll-bake-pan), or tamagoyakinabe (Template:Lang-ja; たまごやきなべ, literally: omelette-pan) is a square or rectangular cooking pan used to make Japanese-style rolled omelettes. It is also known as tamagoyakiki (Template:Lang-ja; たまごやきき, literally: tool to make omelettes).[1]

Design

The rectangular shape of the makiyakinabe facilitates a constant diameter over the length of the omelette, giving the omelette its bar-like shape once rolled.[2] Most professional pans are made of heavy copper coated with tin, with the materials being preferred for their heat conduction.[3][4] A cheaper, nonstick variety is a common alternative to the copper pan.[5] In the Kantō region, makiyakinabe is typically used with a thick wooden lid that is used to help flip the omelette.[4]

Dimensions

There are three types of makiyakinabe: Kantō-type, Kansai-type, and Nagoya-type. Kantō-type pans are square[4], Kansai-type pans are tall-and-thin rectangles, and Nagoya-type pans are short-and-wide rectangles.

  • Kantō-type
    • Width: 10 cm to 30 cm; usually 15 to 25 cm
  • Kansai-type
    • Width: 10 cm to 30 cm; usually 15 to 25 cm
    • Length: 15 cm to 35 cm; usually less than 1.5 x of the width
  • Nagoya-type
    • Width: 15 cm to 35 cm
    • Length: 10 cm to 30 cm; usually 15 to 25 cm
