Touga Wooden Base for Donabe - 18cm
A donabe comes off the stove holding intense heat in its base — enough to scorch a fabric mat or linen heat protector, let alone the table underneath. This Touga wooden base is a trivet made for exactly that job: thick natural wood takes the heat without marking, so the pot can go straight from the stove to the table.
The surface is flame-charred in Japan using the traditional Yakisugi (焼杉) method, which further improves heat resistance and highlights the natural grain.
What's Included
- 1 x Wooden Base for Donabe (18cm)
Prefer extra thickness? The slatted version is thicker and sits even steadier under a full pot.
Protect your hands too: see all donabe mats and pot holders.
Key Features
- Handles Donabe Heat: Shields the table from base heat that would scorch fabric mats and linen protectors.
- Authentic Yakisugi Finish: Traditional flame-charring improves heat resistance and durability without chemical sealants.
- Straight to the Table: Serve nabe directly from the pot with the table protected.
- Made by Touga: A tableware accessory from Touga, a Japanese maker of donabe tableware and accessories.
Use and Care
- This item is treated with a traditional flame-charring process. A fine, dark powder (excess carbon) may be present initially; this is a normal characteristic of the finish and will diminish with use.
- To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth using water only.
- Do not use soap or detergent, as it may damage the natural finish.
- After wiping, allow the wood to air dry completely before storing.
