Koyanagi Sangyo Kifujin Wooden Drop Lid (Otoshibuta) 20cm

This wooden drop lid (otoshibuta) is made by Koyanagi Sangyo, a company founded in 1926 in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan's metalworking town, where it works with wood, bamboo, and other natural materials alongside metal. The lid rests directly on top of simmering ingredients in a pot, where it helps keep food from falling apart and lets the cooking liquid reach the ingredients more evenly for a better finished dish.

It is made from spruce, chosen because it does not easily pass its own scent onto food. The handle is joined using wood alone, without glue, nails, or screws, for a sturdy and reliable structure.

Besides simmered dishes, this drop lid is also handy for pickling, for use with an iron pot, or as a cover for a bowl or colander. It measures 200 x 200 x 35 mm (7.9 x 7.9 x 1.4 in) and weighs 156 g (5.5 oz / 0.34 lb).
