Nitori offers affordable 3-cup gas-fired rice cooking clay pot

Nitori offers an affordable 3-cup gas-fired rice cooking clay pot priced at 2,490 yen. The product features a double-lid structure designed to prevent boil-overs during the cooking process.

To prepare the pot for first-time use, users should perform a ‘medome’ process by boiling rice-washing water for approximately 10 minutes to seal the clay pores. For cooking, the recommended method involves soaking rice for 20 to 30 minutes, followed by heating on medium heat for about 8 minutes and low heat for 12 minutes, then steaming for 15 to 20 minutes.
