I’m very disappointed with this product and do not know what to do with it. I only used it once and oil splattered everywhere. I normally use a pot with higher sides and a Frywall, which keeps my stovetop much cleaner. The instructions say not to use this pan any other way. Why can’t I just use it as a regular pan? I do not want to encounter the mess again as when I used this pan as a fryer.

A well-designed item that I am sure will make making my own tempura at home a delight. I especially like the combination lid/draining rack. One thing to be aware of, and the reason I only gave 4 stars: the included fairly extensive instructions are ONLY in Japanese, and some of the supposedly universal graphic notices are less than clear. I would really like to have these instructions in English.

Fabulous little pot. Just used it for the first time and it’s perfect. The pot is much heavier than I thought which is fabulous. Extremely well made. Highly recommend it

Been eyeing this deep frying pot for a while now; finally decided to take the plunge and go for this one that's made in Japan. Received it in perfect condition, and the quality is really A+! Added a beautiful furoshiki cloth and bamboo cooking utensils to complete the experience. Speedy delivery made it all worthwhile. ❤ Bento&Co is truly my go-to for all things Japanese 🎌
