Japan Iwaki Rice Porridge Pot Heat-Resistant Glass 200ml

Japan iwaki Rice Porridge Pot — 200ml | Heat-Resistant Glass

Master the art of traditional Japanese rice porridge with the iwaki Heat-Resistant Glass Porridge Pot. Specifically designed for preparing "Okayu" (soft rice porridge), this 200ml vessel is the gold standard for creating small, nutritious portions with precision. Produced by AGC Technoglass Co., Ltd., it combines the safety of laboratory-grade borosilicate glass with a specialized design that allows you to cook porridge directly inside a standard electric rice cooker while your main batch of rice cooks around it.

Key Features

• Signature iwaki Heat-Resistant Glass — Crafted from high-clarity borosilicate glass that is famous for its thermal shock resistance. It can safely transition from the high heat of a rice cooker to a cooler countertop without cracking.

• Dual-Cooking Convenience — Designed to be placed in the center of your electric rice cooker's inner pot. This allows you to cook a single serving of soft porridge for a baby or a convalescing family member at the same time you cook firm rice for the rest of the household.

• Precision Porridge Graduations — Features clear, easy-to-read water level markings specifically calibrated for different porridge consistencies (e.g., 5x, 7x, or 10x water-to-rice ratios). This ensures perfect results every time without a separate measuring cup.

• Hygienic & Chemical-Free — Unlike plastic alternatives, iwaki glass is non-porous and BPA-free. It will not leach chemicals, absorb food odors, or become stained by ingredients, making it the safest choice for infant feeding.

• Integrated Strainer & Lid — Often includes a specialized lid that doubles as a strainer or a resting place for the included mashing spoon. This streamlined design minimizes the number of dishes used during preparation.

• Compact 200ml Capacity — The ideal size for a single serving of "Okayu," ensuring food is always served fresh and reducing unnecessary food waste.

• Microwave & Dishwasher Safe — The glass body is fully compatible with microwaves for quick reheating and is dishwasher safe for effortless, high-temperature sterilization.

Usage & Care

• Rice Cooker Method: Wash a small amount of rice and place it in the glass pot. Fill with water to the desired "ratio" line. Place the glass pot in the center of your rice cooker's inner pot, surrounded by the usual amount of rice and water for the rest of the family. Start the "Regular" rice cycle.

• Microwave Method: For quick reheating, the glass body can be placed in the microwave. Always remove the lid if it contains non-microwave-safe components or to prevent pressure buildup.

• Mashing: Use the included soft-tip spoon to mash the cooked grains to the desired consistency directly inside the glass pot.

• Cleaning: Wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. While the glass is durable, avoid using abrasive steel wool which can scratch the surface and weaken the glass over time.

• Safety: Use oven mitts or the included removal tool (if provided) when lifting the hot glass pot out of the rice cooker.

Perfect For

• Parents & Caregivers: Preparing fresh, homemade baby food (weaning food) alongside the family's main meal.

• Convalescence & Recovery: Making easy-to-digest, soft rice porridge for those recovering from illness or dental work.
