Japanese Clay Donabe Rice Cooker, Microwave Safe, 1-2 Cups

This traditional Japanese donabe clay pot is designed for cooking perfectly textured rice, hearty soups, and small casseroles directly on your stove or in the microwave. Crafted from authentic BANKOYAKI ceramic, this 1- to 2-cup vessel regulates heat steadily while naturally absorbing excess moisture for consistently fluffy results.

• Durable Ceramic Construction: Fired in Yokkaichi using traditional techniques, the dense porous walls distribute thermal energy evenly and reduce rapid liquid evaporation during simmering.
• Dual-Lid Steam System: A nested inner lid and fitted outer lid work together to trap heat, maintain consistent internal pressure, and accelerate the overall cooking cycle.
• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Tested for direct gas flames, microwave heating, and conventional ovens rated up to 500°C (932°F), while safely excluding electric coil burners.
• Measured Cooking Capacity: Holds approximately 1100 milliliters (37 fluid ounces), accurately portioned for single servings or shared meals prepared for two people.
• Compact Footprint: Measures 7.28 inches wide by 8.26 inches long and 5.31 inches tall, allowing the rounded base to sit securely over standard kitchen stovetop rings.
• Manageable Weight: Constructed at just 3.32 pounds (1.5 kilograms), the lightweight build minimizes hand strain when transferring the heated vessel from the counter to the dining area.
• Vented Outer Lid: Features a precise central steam-hole that allows continuous visual progress checks without releasing trapped vapor or interrupting the cooking process.
• Included Preparation Guide: Comes with a translated instruction card detailing exact water-to-grain ratios, burner flame adjustments, and recommended resting durations.

Operating this Japanese-style clay rice cooker simplifies daily meal preparation by eliminating constant temperature guessing and reducing reliance on electronic appliances. The gradual heating method paired with the sealed dual-lids ensures consistently tender grains while preserving natural textural integrity. Quick hand washing and a space-saving silhouette keep your countertops organized without limiting everyday culinary flexibility.
