You can feel the handmade craftsmanship with the rustic designs on the edges of the pot, the lid and the handles. The lid is decorated with a technique called "Tobikanna," which is used to create a series of grinding marks. The pattern can be made evenly by using a tool called a "Kanna" and applying the blade while turning the wheel.

The matte-toned glaze gives this earthenware pot a subdued atmosphere. All the colorful vegetables look appetizing inside the dark colored clay of the pot. 

With a little shallow shape, the size of 3.3L(111.6oz) is suitable for 3 to 4 persons to enjoy donabe dishes. For other dishes such as soup, stew, curry, cheese fondue, it can cook up to 4 to 5 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.
