Cooking technology and authentic donabe
—the pride of Tiger jar rice cookers
土鍋ご泡hou火bi炊き
The delicious taste is made possible by the donabe.
It’s equipped with three advanced features that take advantage of the characteristics of donabe.
  • 1

    High heat to bring out the sweetness

    High heating accelerates the gelatinization of rice to bring out its sweetness.

  • 2

    The far-red effect brings out the flavor

    The donabe has high heat retention properties, allowing it to capture heat thoroughly and draw out the optimal flavor.

  • 3

    Gentle bubbling that produces springiness

    The fine, consistent bubbles only seen in kamado protect the rice and make it more springy.

  • 1

    High heat to bring out the sweetness

    As is the case when cooking in an oven, more of the flavor and sweetness of rice can be brought out by continuously heating the rice without worrying about the water boiling over.As is the case when cooking in an oven, more of the flavor and sweetness of rice can be brought out by continuously heating the rice without worrying about the water boiling over.

    Radiant heat from the far-infrared effect, which is approximately four times* greater than that of a metal pot, slowly brings out the flavor as a result of the high heat.

    The far-infrared effect of the authentic donabe is about four times that of metal inner pots. *The far-infrared effect of the authentic donabe is about four times that of metal inner pots. *

    * Based on a comparison of the inner pots between JPL-T100 and our conventional JKT-P100 (2020 model). This is a comparison of the amounts of on-peak far-infrared radiation energy between the authentic donabe and the metal pot when the temperatures of the inside bottoms of the pots are 230℃ and 110℃, respectively (presumed temperatures for cooking rice).

    Gentle bubbling that produces springiness

    Even with intense heat convection,
    fine and consistent bubbles encapsulate the flavor of each grain.
    The large amount of fine, consistent bubbles only produced by donabe surround the rice and protect the surface, so the grains are less likely to be damaged by bumping into each other. This traps the starch, which is responsible for the flavor, and produces a springy texture in the rice. The end result is a pot of springy rice with a lustrous surface.
