it heats up so quickly. It's a formidable little pot and can hold a portion size fit for two. I used it to reheat my mongolian chicken stir fry, and it took less than five minutes. I would take it off high heat quickly or else the food will burn and stick.

I don't like this pot very much.
weee.13416159
It has arrived. The other casserole I bought before could not be dry-fried after 3 uses, and then it cracked. Although it can still be used, I still want to change to a more expensive one to see if it matches the price.
weee.12601406
As exquisite as the buyer's show, I use it every day recently. The pot of porridge that was boiled also went into my husband's belly.

Made in Japan, well packaged, the dream pot, a must have! My sukiyaki pot, my pickled pork with preserved vegetables, my black chicken soup!
想吃豆沙馅春卷
Use it to stew soup. The portion is large enough. It’s very enjoyable to drink in winter.
JessieChiu
The delivery box is in good condition, but the inner box of the casserole has marks from being bumped. Fortunately, the inside is not broken. It is handmade, so there are some small flaws, but they should not affect the cooking use. The price after the special offer made me buy it. It has depth for hot pot soups and stews. All suitable

Very good! The bone soup in this casserole is cooked into a milky white color in one hour on medium-low heat. It took at least two hours to cook with a stainless steel pot before. Not only does it save time, but the soup is also more delicious. The size is also suitable, and one pot of soup is enough for 6 people to drink
