kaico ｜ One-handed pot

I want to make high-quality enamel utensils.
I want tools that fit into Japanese life.
And I want to make it in Japan with Japanese craftsmen.
The enamel brand "kaico" is infused with this idea.

Kaico's one-handed pot is made of enamel, which is iron covered in a glassy glaze, and combines materials that are suited to the purpose.

The design of the kaico series was created by furniture designer Makoto Koizumi. Working in collaboration with the production site, we have created functional enamel products that are easy to use as tools.

You'll want to use it every day

Enamel is a material with high heat retention, so it can be used for soups, miso soup, and stews that require slow cooking, making it a versatile saucepan that can be used every day. Even if you use it all the time and leave it on the stove, the calm and simple Kaico saucepan will become part of your kitchen decor.

Great functionality

It is suitable for both direct heat and induction cooking, has a large opening for easy cleaning, and the lid has no curled edges for hygiene reasons. The saucepan has a unique curl that is characteristic of enamel, making it easy to pour viscous milk or soup.
The design of the saucepan, which gently widens towards the bottom, makes it more susceptible to heat, and the natural wood handle matches the look of the white enamel and is gentle to the touch and does not transfer heat easily, making it safe to use.
Enamel is a material with high heat retention, so not only does it keep food warm, it also keeps it warm for a while even after it has been removed from the heat. The surface of enamel is inorganic glass, so it is resistant to both acids and alkalis and does not undergo chemical reactions due to ingredients or moisture, so it does not transfer metals and is resistant to color and odors.

Hygienic and long lasting

Enamelware has a surface that is resistant to dirt and scratches, and is coated with hard glass, so it can withstand discoloration and wear. Just like tableware, it can be easily maintained with detergent and a sponge, and if you are concerned about coloring, you can use baking soda to extend the life of your enamelware.

●Before you purchase
- Enamel is a glass material. If it is hit hard or dropped on the floor, it may peel off, so please handle with care.
- Due to the structure of the product, there may be some black areas on the edges of the enamel, but these are not defective products as they are enamel coated.


[Kaiko (silkworm)] The name kaico comes from the word "silkworm" (silkworm) because of the transparent surface and the silk-like beauty. It also comes from the word "nostalgia" (reminiscence) because of the nostalgic impression it gives. These are high-quality enamelware that fit into Japanese life. The kaico series won the Good Design Award in 2006.
