The donabe, earthenware rice cooker

The donabe is an earthenware pot that cooks rice directly over fire. The clay gradually heats up and produces fluffy, glossy, and flavorful rice, close to traditional cooking. Some models are also used for soups and stews. See the PETARI pots and the KAMADOSAN cookers.

Choosing and maintaining properly

Choose the size based on the number of servings, from the small cooker for one or two people to the large family donabe. An earthenware cooker often requires seasoning before first use. Also see kitchenware and tableware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a donabe?

A donabe is a Japanese earthenware pot that cooks over fire, traditionally used for rice, soups, and stews. The clay gradually heats up and provides a gentle, enveloping warmth that gives the rice a fluffy and glossy texture.

Why cook rice in a clay cooker?

Terracotta heats gradually and distributes gentle heat, which makes the rice swell and brings out its flavor, often better than an electric pressure cooker. The result is shiny, fragrant rice, sometimes with a thin golden crust at the bottom, appreciated in Japanese cuisine.

How to care for a clay cooker?

Before first use, a clay cooker is often prepared by seasoning, as indicated in its instructions. Then, let it dry completely between uses and avoid thermal shocks. Terracotta does not like abrasive soap or sudden changes from cold to hot.

What size rice cooker should I choose?

Choose according to the usual number of servings. A small cooker is suitable for one to two people, a medium size for a family, and a large donabe for entertaining. Each product sheet indicates the capacity in servings or volume, to help you choose according to your cooking style.

Can a donabe be used for anything other than rice?

Yes, many donabe are also used for soups, broths, and stews, and some models are designed for that. The gentle cooking of the clay is well suited for long preparations. Check the product sheet for recommended uses and compatibility with your heat source.
