Hokuriku Dantsuki Pot 27cm

The Hokuriku Dantsuki Seiro Pot works well for a wide variety of uses, but it is particularly useful for steaming, due to the inner ledge of the pot, which holds a steaming basket (seiro).  The pot also works really well for drop lids, which sit directly on top of food. This pot is made of aluminum, which is excellent at conducting and distributing heat. 

This pot fits the 27cm Steam Ring and is then compatible with the 24cm Bamboo Steamer Set and others steamers too. 

Dantsuki is a high-walled pot designed for simmering, boiling or steaming. The pot features a interior ledge to accommodate a steaming basket (seiro) or drop lid (otoshibuta).

The hammered appearance of this pot results in excellent thermal conductivity. It also strengthens its durability and increases the surface area.
