Kyoto Katsugu Yukihira Pot IH-Compatible 16cm

This is a classic Japanese yukihira-style pot, a tool used constantly in Japanese kitchens for boiling water and for light simmering and cooking. Aluminum is lighter than iron or stainless steel, so it is less tiring to hold, and it conducts heat quickly, which is useful when you want water to boil fast.

The surface is finished in Japan using an anodizing process that forms a protective oxide layer, improving durability and corrosion resistance. The body is 2 mm (0.1 in) thick, noticeably thicker than many inexpensive yukihira pots, so heat reaches food more gently and the pot holds its warmth longer after being removed from the heat.

The handle is solid oak, a wood also used in fine furniture, so the grain varies from pot to pot and develops character with use. It is finished with a wax treatment rather than a glossy urethane coating, keeping the natural look of the wood while adding durability and water resistance. The pot has two spouts, a wide one for pouring larger amounts and a narrow spout for fine, controlled pouring. Overall length is 33 cm (13 in).
