You know when it’s just you, and maybe your partner, at home and you want to cook a balanced meal with side dishes, but you end up using sooo many extra pans unnecessarily? Of course the Japanese have come up with a solution for this – a sectioned fry pan that lets you cook 3 different dishes at once! Since the original site is in Japanese I’m not entirely sure what the official name of this product is but it could also be called a divided skillet.

This is such an amazing design, isn’t it? Folks in the USA can buy something very similar right here.

Are you imagining what you could cook up in this right now? It would also be a great solution to keep vegetarian and vegetable side dishes separate from the meat.
