Rice cooked in an earthenware pot

"Rice cooked in an earthenware pot tastes delicious."
I often saw posts like that on social media.

These days, there are even earthenware pots specifically designed for cooking rice.
The rice cooked in that earthenware pot,
I had it before at a friend's house,
The rice has a rich, full-bodied sweetness and is truly delicious.


I had been thinking that I wanted a clay pot specifically for cooking rice,
I don't have any more space for pots and pans, so I don't want to add any more.
Actually, before I even think about earthenware pots, what I really want is a copper yukihira pot.


But.
I still can't give up my ambition to cook rice in an earthenware pot.

Then, I suddenly remembered.
We already have an earthenware pot at home, don't we?

It only makes an appearance about two or three times a year, usually when we're having oden or hot pot.
A regular earthenware pot.
Because it's rarely used, its very existence is usually forgotten.

I wonder what would happen if I cooked rice with this?

With that in mind, I immediately tried cooking it.

I was so impressed by how delicious it was...

I can't believe how much of a difference just one pot can make.
It's not that Staub was bad.
The rice cooked in the clay pot was just too delicious.

And so, my family also made our debut by cooking rice in an earthenware pot.

By the way,
About two months ago, my breakfast changed from bread to rice.
There wasn't any particular reason, just a feeling.

Freshly cooked rice in an earthenware pot for breakfast.
It feels like a breakfast at a traditional Japanese inn, which makes me happy this morning.
