This is an IH-compatible earthenware pot made in Banko-yaki. It can also be used directly over a flame. It has a double lid, but it's not that heavy. The shape is also compact and doesn't take up much space in the kitchen. I've only used it a few times, so there are no scratches, but there is some dirt on the bottom of the earthenware pot (photo 4). - Color: Black - Material: Ceramic - With instruction manual Thank you for looking.
