How to Cook Rice

1.Rinse the rice and soak it for at least 30 minutes.
2.Place the soaked rice into the INAHO donabe and add water.
   *The body of the pot has engraved water level lines for each serving size. Please use them as a guide.
3.Cover with the inner and outer lids. Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil, then turn off the heat.
   *Estimated heating time:
     1 cup: about 7 minutes
     2 cups: about 9 minutes
     3 cups: about 10 minutes
4.Without opening the lid, let the rice steam for about 15 minutes.

Care Instructions

• Wash thoroughly and dry completely before storage
• Dry heating for about 2 minutes is acceptable for drying
• Reheat leftover rice by wetting only the inner lid and microwaving (outer lid optional)
• Natural clay materials may show slight color variations—embrace this as the unique character of handcrafted pottery
• Hand washing recommended as the rounded design makes rice residue difficult to clean in dishwashers

Transform your daily rice cooking into a joyful ritual with the INAHO Donabe—where tradition meets innovation for the perfect bowl of rice, every time.
