Hokuriku Dantsuki Pot 30cm

*This pot is sold at a discount due to minor scratches on the top portion of the rim*

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 30cm Steam Ring and is then compatible with the 27cm Bamboo Steamer Set and other sized steamers as well. 

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.
