"Japanese Traditional Donabe Pot 7"" diameter, small"

Japanese earthenware is a form of pottery made from clay that is fired in a large kiln at a very high temperature. Nabemono, or pot cooking in traditional earthenware pottery, is the world's oldest and most natural way of cooking. Perfect for making yudofu (simmered tofu dish), and other delicious, winter pot dishes, such as nabeyaki-udon (pot-boiled noodles) or casseroles. In Japan, everyone gathers around the table and pot-dishes are served "family-style" straight from the donabe, piping hot for all to enjoy.

Due to the nature of earthenware, a heat diffuser or trivet should be used during cooking with a donabe and a tawashi (vegetable-fiber brush) should be used to clean the surface instead of harsh detergents or soap. This high-quality, traditional donabe pot is glazed on the inside but not the outside, giving the best heat absorption. The lid is designed beautifully with a Japanese bamboo, white ume & persimmon motif, perfect for serving a seasonal meal.
