Ginpo Kikka Lapis 3-Cup Rice Donabe

This Ginpo Kikka Lapis donabe pot ("do" meaning clay, and "nabe" meaning pot) brings a warm, Japanese countryside ambiance to your tableware collection. Using a clever internal lid, this pot perfectly cooks three cups of rice, and a convenient internal water level line also makes measuring cups unnecessary. Rice cooks in about 30 minutes, and the double-layered lid prevents boil-overs. Additionally, it can be reheated in the microwave. In addition to the pot’s excellent rice cooking abilities, these diverse donabe’s are well suited to various other culinary uses. The unique process used to glaze the ceramic pot helps ensure an even, consistent heat, retaining the warmth for long periods. A traditional chrysanthemum motif is used on the lapis-blue lids, making these donabe pots fabulous centerpieces for intimate dinners. These robust, durable pots are both oven and direct-heat friendly–compatible with an open flame oven (up to 250°C for the lid).
