Shimomura Kihan Yude-Meijin Stainless Steel Pot with Strainer

 

Made in Japan by Shimomura Kihan, the Yude-Meijin 22cm is a versatile stainless steel cooking pot designed especially for boiling noodles, pasta, vegetables, and other foods that need quick and easy draining.

The set includes a 22cm stainless steel pot, fine-mesh stainless steel strainer basket, and lid, allowing you to cook and drain food all in one pot. Once cooking is complete, simply lift the basket to drain—no separate colander required.

Designed for Noodles & Everyday Cooking

The fine-mesh strainer basket is particularly useful for cooking udon, soba, ramen, pasta, and other noodles. Its fine mesh helps prevent smaller ingredients and noodles from slipping through while allowing water to drain quickly.

The basket also helps keep noodles away from the bottom of the pot, reducing sticking during cooking.

Beyond noodles, it is excellent for:

• Boiling and blanching vegetables
• Cooking dumplings
• Boiling eggs
• Seafood
• Pasta
• Preparing ingredients that need immediate draining
• Everyday soups and large-batch cooking when used without the strainer

The generous 5.6L capacity also allows the pot to function as a versatile everyday stockpot when the strainer basket is removed.

Care & Precautions

• Wash thoroughly with mild dish detergent before first use.

• Use appropriate heat and avoid prolonged empty heating.
• The pot and handles may become hot during cooking. Always use appropriate protection when handling.
• Allow the cookware to cool before washing.
• Stainless steel may develop water spots or discoloration depending on heat, minerals, and food ingredients; this does not necessarily affect performance.
