Iga-Mono Ohitsu 2-Cup

-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.
