Banko-Yaki Rice Cooker

The ceramic construction uses far-infrared rays to heat the grains gently and evenly from the inside out. This process helps retain moisture within each grain, resulting in a fluffier, more consistent texture compared to standard metal pots.

Yes, the integrated inner lid acts as a pressure regulator. It creates a controlled environment that keeps the starchy water contained within the pot, preventing the messy boil-overs common with traditional stovetop rice cooking.

This pot is designed for gas stovetops and open flames, which are traditional for Banko-yaki ceramics. It is not compatible with induction (IH) cooktops.

The pot has a 1900 ml capacity, which comfortably accommodates up to 8 cups of cooked rice. It is perfectly sized for family meals or batch cooking for the week.

Because the inner lid prevents boil-overs and the ceramic surface is naturally heat-retentive, cleanup is straightforward. We recommend washing it by hand with warm water and a soft sponge, avoiding harsh detergents that could be absorbed by the porous ceramic.
