The crystal-clear body is molded from extra-thick resin using a special technique. It's characterized by being "unbreakable, not hot, and space-saving." You don't have to worry about it breaking if you drop it. Also, the body doesn't get hot to the touch, allowing us to eliminate the handle. It doesn't take up much space in the cupboard and can be stacked for storage. Ease of everyday use is a key feature. There was a dent in one part of the box when it arrived.
