Iga-Mono Ohitsu 2-Cup

Iga-Mono's Ohitsu is an artisan crafted ceramic pot, made from the coarse soil of Iga Prefecture, which is quite porous. As a result, this type of ceramic retains and breathes water and moisture, making it ideal for steaming and reheating. 

Particular to this ceramic pot, it's intended for use only in a microwave, but it serves many functions. It can be used for:

-Reheating and/or serving rice, as it is functional and attractive. 

-Steaming and/or reheating a variety of ingredients. Included is a small, ceramic grate, used as a barrier from the bottom when steaming. You can steam nearly anything you like, including vegetables and seafood. Think of it as a steaming pot for your microwave.

Included in this kit is the bowl, lid, ceramic grate, trivet for serving as well as a small pamphlet that highlights the features of this unique product. 

Note: Be sure to soak the bowl and lid in water 1-2 minutes prior to use, then wipe excess water away from exterior. 

To avoid damage to the pot, this product is only intended for microwave use.  please avoid using any other type of cooking or heat source.
