When you remove the lid, it becomes a gratin dish, and when you put the lid on, it becomes a single-serving size donabe, making it a convenient and cute 2-way item. It's also recommended for stews and rolled cabbage. The rim of the main body is properly glazed so it can be used without the lid. It's an excellent item that can be used for a wide range of dishes such as zosui (rice porridge) and simmered dishes. It's oven and direct heat compatible, and also microwave safe, making it convenient for reheating. The main body is sloped towards the bottom, allowing it to be stacked, so it doesn't take up much storage space. Size: Approx. diameter 12-13.5cm (length including handles approx. 15-16.5cm) x height 5-6cm (height including lid 8.5-9.5cm) This is an unused item that was stored wrapped. .......
