Small round nonstick frying pan with a domed lid — steam-set soufflé omelettes and fold them onto the plate without tearing.

An 8-inch (20 cm) nonstick skillet with a tight lid traps steam so Soma-style soufflé omelettes set tall before you fold them onto the plate. Rectangular tamagoyaki pans tear the foam in the corners — choose round for this recipe. Any small covered nonstick pan you already own works if the batter fits in a thin layer.
Soufflé omelettes need a small round nonstick skillet with a lid — about 8 inches (20 cm) — so steam sets the foam and you can slide a half-moon fold onto the plate. Rectangular tamagoyaki pans trap batter in corners and tear the soufflé when you fold.
Budget pick: any 8-inch nonstick fry pan plus a domed lid that fits (or a flat lid with a small gap for steam).
Premium pick: heavier-gauge nonstick with a glass lid so you can watch the rise without lifting.
A well-seasoned 8-inch crepe pan works if you have one; avoid bare cast iron for egg foam — it sticks unless perfectly seasoned.
Hand-wash with soft sponge and mild detergent; avoid metal utensils and abrasive pads. Do not preheat empty on high — it damages coating. Store with a paper towel between stacked pans if you nest them.
