"This compact pot serves four functions in one: food preparation, cooking, storage container, and serving dish. Choose from warm Milk colour (milky white) or sophisticated Sumi colour (deep black). [As a pot] Its shallow design cooks food quickly, and the sufficient thickness makes it IH-compatible. Perfect for small-group hot pot meals, yudofu, ahijo, and other pot cooking. [As a bowl] The stable bottom makes it convenient for food preparation. It also serves as a mini washbasin for rinsing small amounts of vegetables. [As a container] Without a handle, it fits easily in the refrigerator, and you can take advantage of enamelware's characteristic of not altering flavors. [As a serving dish] After cooking noodles like ramen or udon, use it directly as a serving bowl. *Please exercise extreme caution as it becomes very hot and can cause burns."
