Crafted from premium Kiso Sawara wood and fastened with traditional bamboo nails, Kiya's otoshibuta drop lid is a time-honored tool for Japanese simmered dishes. When placed directly over food in a pot, it distributes heat evenly, reduces boiling movement, and helps ingredients retain their shape and flavor. This simple yet essential tool enhances slow cooking and brings out the depth of umami in your dishes.
