Nukut a Nabe Peach pink Thermal Shock Resistant Japanese Clay Pot

Product Description

Experience the craftsmanship of this original clay pot “温たなべ” (read “Nukutanabe”, literally “warm clay pot”) handcrafted by Marushige Touki in the renowned Mino-yaki pottery region of Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

Why you’ll love it:

• Engineered for exceptional thermal shock resistance: tested across a 300 °C temperature drop — even when immersed in water while still hot — it won’t crack. This enables versatile cooking methods beyond traditional clay-pot use: searing meat, baking naan and more.

• Easy to maintain: A hydrophobic (water-repelling) surface treatment prevents heavy sticking of rice or other ingredients. Even if there is some char, simple scrubbing removes it easily. No initial “soaking porridge” preparation required.

• Safe and trustworthy: Lead and cadmium were not detected in testing conducted at the Gifu Prefectural Ceramic Testing Laboratory.

• Specifications: Handle-to-handle width ≈ 35 cm; Diameter ≈ 25 cm; Height ≈ 10 cm (22.5 cm including lid). Capacity: approx. 4 rice cups (4 gō). Weight: approx. 3.7 kg. Material: Ceramic (direct-fire clay pot). Production: Japan (Mino-yaki). Please note: as each pot is handcrafted, slight variation in shape and color is to be expected — and part of its charm.

• Care instructions: Ready to use immediately after washing—no “seal” cooking required. However, avoid deep-frying usage, and when using for empty-pot baking (such as baked sweet potato), do not place directly from the hot pot onto a table — use a heat-resistant trivet and handle with care. Clean with a palm-fiber scrubber or soft sponge; for heavier burns a new metal scourer will suffice. Avoid dishwashers. Because ceramic is slightly porous, quickly rinse off detergents.
