Rather than covering the pot, it rests directly on the ingredients, keeping them under the liquid so the stock circulates over the food, seasons it evenly and stops delicate pieces from tumbling and breaking up. It is made from Sawara cypress, a wood long used in Japanese kitchens for its resistance to moisture.

Boiling it briefly in water, or in the water left from rinsing rice, will soften the natural wood scent. Wet the lid before each use so it absorbs fewer food odours. After cooking, wash promptly in warm water without detergent, drain and air-dry in a shaded, well-ventilated spot. Keep it away from dishwashers, dish dryers and direct sun, which can cause the wood to crack or warp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Oyanagi Sangyo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOyanagi Sangyo is a kitchen woodenware maker in Sanjo, Niigata, a city better known for its metalworking.
