Curry Nabe
CHF 159.00


The Curry Nabe was specially developed for curry lovers and is ideal for the daily preparation of soups and stews. The gentle and even heat distribution of the Curry Nabe helps ingredients slowly develop their spicy (umami) flavor without the ingredients falling apart. The donabe can also be heated without liquid inside, so ingredients can be sautéed or roasted inside. As a traditional clay donabe, it provides a natural way of cooking, and the food inside continues to cook for a while after the heat is turned off.

The curry nabe is made by Nagatani-en, a leading manufacturer of authentic Iga-yaki pottery since 1832, and each donabe is carefully handmade and takes about 2 weeks to complete. The material is clay from the Iga region, which is naturally very heat resistant and has been used for open flame cooking for many hundreds of years.
