Japanese Clay Pot
While earthenware pots make food tasty, there was an unchangeable common sense that they were troublesome to clean and handle. But now, these problems have become avoidable.
This Fukui Donabe clay pot has properties ideal for heat retention and high temperature, it’s excellent for retaining heat after it’s turned off and it requires no pre-seasoning before use.
Donabe is always used for one-pot meals in Japan, as it’s an easy way to cook complete and nutritious meals quickly.
This pot is suitable for gas tops, microwave ovens, ovens, and radiant heaters.
No need to season
Conventional clay pots need to be filled with water dissolved in flour and boiled for a long time before being used to seal the minute holes in the surface of the clay pot. Kikka clay pots do not require this sealing process and are ready to use as soon as they arrive at your home.
15% lighter than conventional products
Clay pots used to be heavy and difficult to carry, but through the optimization of our unique clay blend and shape, we have succeeded in reducing the weight by 15% without compromising heat-retaining properties.
Easy to care
One of the reasons people hesitate to use clay pots was that it was difficult to remove stains and odors from the bottom of the pot, but these have been greatly improved by an in-house developed glaze.
