Tojiki Tonya Gray Clay Pot 1800ml

Japanese Clay Pot Rice Cooker (ごはん土鍋)

Japanese rice cookers, known as "donabe", are traditional clay pots designed for cooking rice to perfection. These artisanal pots have been a staple in Japanese kitchens for centuries. Made from high-quality clay, they provide even heat distribution, allowing rice to cook evenly and develop a delicious, slightly crispy bottom layer known as "okoge." The porous nature of the clay also enhances the rice's flavor and aroma. Cooking rice in a Japanese clay pot is not just about preparing a meal; it's a cultural experience that connects people to Japan's culinary traditions. These versatile pots can also be used for simmering stews, hot pots, and other dishes, making them a cherished part of Japanese culinary heritage.

The earthenware pot contains petalite (a special heat-resistant raw material), which prevents damage due to thermal expansion even when the body is subjected to heating loads.
In addition, heat-resistant clay has a far-infrared effect, which brings out the flavor of the ingredients and makes the dishes more mellow.
