PETARI Donabe Rice Cooker 2 Rice Cooker Cups (2 Gou)

Crafted to bring out the rice’s natural sweetness and aroma, this donabe rice cooker transforms a simple meal into something special. Made of clay with low thermal conductivity, it allows the temperature to rise and fall gradually during cooking, gently absorbing excess moisture for perfect texture.

Its interior is finished with a proprietary low-absorption glaze, so no seasoning is required before use. Inside, clearly marked water lines for one to two cups of rice make measuring effortless and precise. Use about 200 ml (7 fl oz) of water per cup, cook over medium heat, and turn off the flame once steam begins to escape from the lid.

The rice cooker’s rounded form and calm matte finish blend seamlessly with any table setting. Available in black, gray, and beige, it combines timeless design with everyday functionality. It transitions beautifully from stove to table, allowing you to serve directly from the pot while retaining the rice’s freshly cooked texture and warmth.
