The "Best Pot" is a new type of earthenware pot that has evolved from "Banko-yaki," which has been made in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture since the Edo period. It allows for "leave-it-to-cook" cooking using "heat storage cooking," where you heat the pot for a certain amount of time, then remove it from the heat and let the stored heat gently cook the food. This reduces the effort of daily cooking, saves on gas bills, and is useful for a variety of dishes, including rice, stews, and soups. The 20cm size is recommended for cooking 2-3 cups of rice. It can also be used to make stew or curry for 2-4 people. Available in three classic colors: white, black, and indigo blue. Diameter: Approximately 20cm Width: Approximately 24cm (including handles) Depth: Approximately 10cm Height: Approximately 14.5cm (including lid) Weight: Pot 2kg, Lid 1.3kg, Total 3.3kg
