Kurobuki Rice Cooking Donabe

The only way to cook rice!

"I have tried several rice cookers over the years left somewhat satisfied with a few that lasted a little while until they started burning rice on the bottoms spoiling the taste of fresh made rice and they were all difficult to clean nicely saying they were dishwasher safe and over a year or two lost their coatings…. I have owned this Kurobuki Rice Cooking Donabe for over a month now and used it more on the one month than I have used other cookers within a year. Follow instructions provided and you’ll not be disappointed. I’ve made wild rice, short grain white rice that provides the best donabe ever for homemade sushi, and brown rice. This provides an excellent even heat source and has yet to burn any rice or cause any reason for disappointment in a meal. This is literally the rice pot you never knew you needed until you have it!"

Spectacular Product

"Cooks Indian Basmati rice the best ever. Easy to make like ghee, pepper, cumin pulav. Extremely energy efficient. Fantastic elegant design and super easy to clean. Everyone in the family loves it."

Very nice 3 gō ceramic rice cooker and affordable

"Although I own several donabe, this is my first ceramic rice cooker and after seasoning with simmered rice starch liquid to seal the pottery, it produces a unique texture missing from my induction rice cooker."

Tasty rice

"It’s true this pot makes better rice. You do need a little extra tlc but the Japanese are fussy about their rice - if you are - and you want slow puffed up grains it’s for you too :)"

Great product but not for me

"To time consuming"

"It's gorgeous. It is a sophisticated addition to my kitchen with its artisanal quality. The rice is much tastier than what I have produced prior using an electric cooker."

Best rice I've ever had

"I want to preface: yes, there are instructions, and no, they are not in English, but that Google Translate is very easy to use, and after you've done it once, you'll be fine. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. This donabe does not work the same way as a normal pot for rice, due to the double-lid. Always ensure the double lid handles are lined up the same way. This donabe makes the best rice I've ever had, and I've eaten rice every day for most of my life. This makes rice that is glossy, perfectly cooked through, and never mushy. It doesn't even stick to the sides of the pot. It's just perfect. Rice cooked this way seems to taste a bit different, almost sweet, and with more umami. If you can prioritize starting your rice at the beginning of your meal prep, you'll be rewarded with delicious rice to go with your meal."

Tastier Rice!

"This donabe cooks rice that is fluffier and tastier than that from an Instant Pot or rice cooker. Totally worth the money if you care about the flavour of rice."

Wow

"Rice done right. A bit of a pain to take care of but the juice is worth the squeeze."
