About Vermicular’s Award-Winning Cookware
The Vermicular Soup Pot is a compact, one-handed pot designed with a tall shape and spout similar to a kettle. It offers seven cooking functions including waterless cooking, boiling, simmering, frying, and more. Its deep design allows the use of a hand blender directly inside the pot after cooking. Available in matte black, sea salt white, and truffle gray, it has a diameter of 11.8 cm and a capacity of 1.9 liters, ideal for cooking for one to two people. The stylish combination of cast iron enamel and wood fits seamlessly into any kitchen.
The Vermicular Yukihira pan redefines the traditional Japanese Yukihira pot with delicate and beautiful craftsmanship. It features an original “instant evaporation enamel” technology that quickly evaporates excess moisture to concentrate flavors. The pan also includes a cast iron enamel drop lid that enables simultaneous searing and steaming, creating a unique cooking style. Offered in three sizes (16 cm, 18 cm, and 20 cm) and three elegant colors—matte black, sea salt white, and oyster gray—the pan features a wood handle in a new light gray color exclusive to Vermicular.
