Banko Ware Ginpo Pottery Chrysanthemum Rice Pot (3-cup capacity, Kohiki finish)

This earthenware pot features a distinctive chrysanthemum petal-shaped lid and excels in functionality and design, with eco-friendly, easy, and safe concepts in mind. It features a double lid with an inner and outer lid. Its low water absorption rate means you can cook ingredients other than rice that are prone to odor transfer. It's twice as thick as a regular earthenware pot, retains heat well, and wraps around the rice, transferring heat easily, making it easy to cook fluffy, shiny, and delicious rice. When cooking rice, you can turn off the heat once it boils and cook the rice using the residual heat, making it economical. It's also great for stewing dishes using the residual heat. It can be used over an open flame, in an oven, or in a microwave. You can use a microwave to heat food, but not to cook rice in the microwave. Made in Japan, Banko ware, Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture
