This donabe, a Japanese clay cooking pot, is made from petalite ceramic and is JIS standard certified for withstanding temperature changes of 350 degrees Celsius or more without cracking. It is manufactured to comply with Japan's Food Sanitation Act.
The pot retains heat well, provides strong insulation, and spreads heat evenly through a far-infrared effect for thorough cooking. Deep carving and clear coloring on the surface give it an attractive look on the table.
A ceramic coating is applied at the factory, so the pot is ready to use as soon as it arrives and resists sticking, which makes cleanup easier.
This is the size 9 pot, suited for four to five servings, measuring about 27.5 cm in diameter and 15.5 cm tall (10.8 x 6.1 in) and weighing about 2.9 kg (6.4 lb).
