Mushi Nabe Donabe Steamer - White Glaze

This versatile clay pot finished in a white glaze harnesses the natural far-infrared properties of Iga clay and powerful steam generation to cook ingredients quickly, while preserving their essential flavours and nutrients. You can use the clay steamer in the following ways:

1. Fresh Table-Side Steaming

Enjoy hot, fresh steamed dishes prepared right at your dining table. The far-infrared effect of Iga clay, combined with powerful steam, cooks ingredients quickly, delivering exceptional texture while preserving natural flavours and nutrients. Steam multiple ingredients simultaneously while naturally removing excess fats for healthier meals.

2. Dual-Level Cooking

Steam food on the ceramic rack above while simultaneously preparing a complementary dish in the clay pot below. Instead of just using water for steam, create flavourful broths or stews in the bottom chamber while your steamed ingredients cook above, two delicious dishes from one pot.

3. Traditional Clay Pot Cooking

Remove the ceramic rack to transform your steamer into a classic clay donabe pot for traditional cooking and hearty stews. The superior far-infrared heat penetration ensures ingredients are thoroughly cooked from the core, creating rich, deeply flavourful dishes with exceptional heat retention.

4. Natural Refrigeration

Discover the ancient art of evaporative cooling. When soaked in water, the clay pot naturally maintains cool temperatures as moisture evaporates from its porous surface. Add ice and place food on the ceramic rack to create elegant tabletop refrigeration, perfect for chilled appetisers, fresh fruits or keeping dishes cool during warm weather entertaining.

Available in 1800ml and 2500ml, also in a black glaze.
