This is a masterpiece for microwave cooking, utilizing the breathing properties of Iga's coarse clay. By moistening the main body and lid before heating, the microwave's heat turns into steam, allowing you to re-steam cold or frozen rice until it's fluffy. With the included ceramic steamer basket, you can easily enjoy steamed dishes like steamed vegetables and shumai. The gentle Kise-zeto color blends well with your dining table and is a perfect item for those aiming for a more refined lifestyle.
