Know before you buy
No, this pot is strictly designed for microwave use. It should never be placed over direct fire or inside a conventional oven, as the heat-resistant glass is not intended for those heat sources.
The 300 ml capacity is designed for single-serving portions. It is ideal for quickly preparing one cup of rice for a fast, individual meal.
One of the primary benefits of this high-quality Japanese glass is that it is non-porous. It does not absorb food odors, ensuring your rice tastes fresh every time, even if you previously cooked a flavorful risotto.
Cleanup is very straightforward. The glass is dishwasher safe, and because rice does not stick to the smooth surface as easily as it does to some metals, it is also very easy to hand wash.
While the pot is designed for speed, you should follow standard microwave rice cooking ratios—typically a 1:1.5 or 1:2 ratio of rice to water depending on your preference. We recommend experimenting with your specific microwave's power settings to achieve your preferred texture.
