Ginpo White Kannyu Banko Donabe Japanese Clay Pot for 3 persons
The "Sumi(Ink)-Kannyu" series is the oldest of GINPO's earthenware pots; the design, introduced in 1955, was an innovation of the company's founder and is still loved by many people.
The "Kannyu" decorative technique, which at the time was only used for small ceramic items such as Matcha bowls, was used to intentionally create fine cracks in the surface glaze. In addition, sumi ink was used to make the pattern stand out even more. The success of this difficult design in pots for the general household was one of the company's early achievements.
With a little shallow shape, the size of 2.2L(74.4oz) is suitable for 3 persons to enjoy Donabe dishes. For other dishes such as soup, stew, curry, cheese fondue, it can cook up to 4 persons.
It can be used with open flame, electric cooktop and oven.
Note: This earthenware pot is not compatible with induction cooktops.
It can be used immediately after purchase because it does not need to be seasoned before use.
It is 15% lighter than conventional products while retaining the heat retaining properties of clay pots.
Banko Ware has excellent heat resistance, durability, and heat retention properties. It is also resistant to heat, making it difficult for food to cool down. The far-infrared ray effect locks in the umami of the food.
The outside bottom of the Donabe may have some reddish-brown coloring due to the firing process. Also, the lid is different from piece to piece in the state of "Kannyu" process, and in rare cases, small air bubbles may be seen, but we hope you will consider this as one of the characteristics of handmade products.
