JAPANESE SHALLOW DONABE CLAYPOT
Product Overview
Build Quality: These highly versatile Donabe Claypots are made from porous clay that distributes heat more gently and evenly compared to other types of pots. Donabes have remarkable heat retention abilities and cools down very slowly even after you have turned off the heat allowing the food to both remain warm for a longer period of time while it continues to cook in the residual heat.
Usage: This slow temperature changing process allows all the flavors to develop a natural Umami flavor that makes food cooked in a Donabe, extra delicious. And since Donabe dishes are so flavorful, less seasonings and less fats are needed to enhance the taste, so they are healthier.
Donabes are the perfect vessels for one pot home cooked meals like Hot Pot, Curry Fishhead, Three Cup Chicken, Claypot Seafood Tofu, Claypot Pork Belly with Salted Fish and even Rice. Many people swear that the best-tasting rice is cooked in a Donabe as each grain is cooked through evenly and stays firm while still being just sticky enough to allow it to taste good even when cold.
Design: You can use it directly over an open flame or even in the oven without the lid. Donabes' are not only great for one pot cooking, they even make a beautiful dish to serve directly onto the table while minimizing the need for excess serving ware. Easy to use and clean, it’s definitely a one-piece wonder that every home should have amongst their cookware collections.
