Its high thermal conductivity compared to other pots allows it to cook ingredients quickly. This prevents excess fat from dripping off and keeps the meat from becoming too tough. Its excellent heat retention means it can be served hot after being removed from the heat. It's induction compatible and measures approximately 17cm, perfect for one to two people. It's perfect for stews and other dishes, not just motsunabe. With careful care, it can be a pot you'll cherish for a lifetime. Some people may think that iron pots are prone to sticking, but the surface has small irregularities that allow them to absorb oil with use, making them less likely to stick. This means it lasts longer than coated pots and can be used for a long time. After use, simply rinse it with water and dry it thoroughly. Storing it with a thin layer of oil and wrapping it in newspaper will help prevent rust. In addition, the iron from the pot seeps into the food, so you can naturally replenish your iron. Nanbu ironware is also recommended for preventing anemia. It comes with a wooden lid that is useful when stewing. It absorbs excess moisture, so you can enjoy the flavor. The pot is deep enough to cook a variety of dishes, including single-serving sukiyaki and stewed udon noodles, to perfection. The manufacturer's name, "Hobundo," is engraved on the bottom as proof that it is made from Nanbu ironware.
