Know before you buy
This cocotte is specifically modeled after the traditional Japanese Hagama rice cooker. Its shape and the specialized Chistera lid are designed to promote optimal steam circulation, which results in fluffier, more evenly cooked rice compared to a standard, flat-bottomed Dutch oven.

While the cocotte is officially dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the longevity of the enamel finish and prevent potential dulling over time.
