When my rice cooker started acting up, I decided to get a Banko-yaki clay pot from Misuzu Pottery. It looks reliable, and I was surprised to find it even easier to use than I had imagined. The iron-like texture and the solid, dependable feel of the clay pot. It has the unique presence that only Banko-yaki can offer.
Once you get used to it, it doesn't feel like a chore at all, even for daily use.In fact, I find myself getting a little excited every time I lift the lid, wondering, "How will it turn out today?"—Freshly cooked rice with well-defined grains that glisten.It's a hit with my family, too—they even ask, "Is it clay pot rice again today?"By the way, here is how I cook my rice (for 2 cups):• Measure 300g of rice, rinse it lightly, and drain the water about three times• Add 400ml of water and let it soak for about 15 minutes• Place it in the clay pot and heat over medium heat without the lid• Once it boils and bubbles appear, put the lid on and cook on low heat for 10 minutes• Turn off the heat and let it steam for 5 minutes, and it's done!The aroma and sheen of freshly cooked rice.This "analog extra step" that you experience with all five senses is one of the joys of daily life.—Especially now, when the price of rice is a hot topic,I want to cook and enjoy the rice I've bought as deliciously as possible.With that thought in mind, I'm putting the clay pot on the stove again today.
