This uniquely designed donabe smoker makes stove-top home smoking a reality. By pouring water in the reservoir between the donabe body and lid, the lid becomes tightly sealed without releasing the smoke outside.
With this sealing effect, the smoky aroma remains inside of the donabe to flavor the ingredients with a small amount of wood smoke chips.
Because the glaze of the donabe promotes the Far Infrared Ray (FIR– the same effect as how the glowing charcoal cook ingredients without direct flame) effect when heated, delicious smoked dishes can be ready in about 15 - 30 minutes. (*Smoke time may vary depending on the size of ingredients and heat level.)
This smoker comes with 2 tiers of smoke grates - it's ideal for making a single serving dish or mini bites for an appetizer (2 - 3 servings).
Without the grates, you can also use Ibushi Gin as a classic-style donabe for making soup, stew, hot pot, etc. The smokey aroma tends to stay inside of the donabe after smoking, so use this donabe when you want to impart a smoked aroma flavor to your dish - such as a stew or braised meat dish.
